Talking, Balking

if not so shy
yes
I am

I would talk with you
'tho I balk
but won't walk
apart from you

no,
I'd just hie away
this shy away
if I could

so I write
what I cannot speak
however,
you must know,
my tongue
is not
in my cheek
for these words
that I would speak
must be wrote
every note
just so
you can see

see?

that this, this love
would speak
oh, so loud
you could hear it
above the crowd

but it comes out

in whispers

all I can do
is sit at your knee
looking to please
you

please

all I can do
is take you up
in hazelgreen eyes
for I know enough
to look at you

but you
your presence alone
closes my throat
and I find it hard
in the eyes of you
to speak the words
that I want to

so forgive me please
if I don't talk
forgive the balk
of me

I will just sit
quietly
and listen
to the you of me
I will take in
quietly
all that you
would say, or see

in this knowing
of the
I love you
of thee

as you talk
undeviatingly to me
my smile
is personally yours

as is
all this shy of me
and ask
that you never
hie away the love of me

If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

Karilea,
I would never hie away the love of you.
No matter when no matter where it blew.
You are a delight of my day and my night.
I knew that even before your smile and sight.
For I am one of the many that love you.

Kari love, this is truly awesome dear heart, so perfectly written, absolutely beautiful Kari love.
Yes I love it, I know I should leave a blank space, but if I did would you know that I had been and sipped your beauty. Drank it into my soul, no I don't think you would. You might hear me as I sat there, but you wouldn't see me. So I make sure that I leave a trace of me behind.

Wonderful work dear heart
Take care kid love

Only a memory of the same
