A 10 word/phrase challenge...but very interesting words.

Imperturbable
Pleasingly plump
Mettlesomeness
Sugar-coat
Jollification
Point in time
Craven
Jocosity
Happenstance
Rubenesque
 

...Of My Dreams

You are  my dream,
I stand here artistically unaware,
Yet with paintbrush in hand
Wishing to be an artist.
You are my inspiration,
How I wish I could capture you
Forever…hold you entrapped
On the canvas of my mind.

I have been so craven, 
Neglectful in my words to you,
There comes a point in time 
That I am without voice,
For I am stilled by nerves
At your very closeness.

You always seem imperturbable, 
Calm and yet filled with a joy
…for everyday living.
You are serenity personified,
If  I could but paint, mat and frame
…the you I see.
That is what I would name
…such a masterpiece.

Then! I love what I call
Your two ‘J’ qualities,
Jollification  and jocosity 
When your happiness shows
And your laughter fills the still air.
A merry-maker of much aplomb.
You make each day a festivity,
A reason to celebrate.
‘tis then I tremble at the essence of you
…at the splendor
…of your very existence.

I would not dishonor you,
Nor sugar-coat  
To others who ask
What I would want in a consort,
To fall in with what they wish
…for themselves.
I with much mettlesomeness 
…would say,
“One with dignity, filled with self-worth,
Overflowing with integrity and humor,
A happenstance,  a blessing to all,
A miracle - to me.

One who is of robust carriage,
Impressive stature…
Well-formed, pleasingly plump, 
A Rubenesque  delight.”

If you were aware of my heart,
You would see that you hold it
…in your hands.

Handle with care.

Thank you so much...I love 'WORD' Challenges, but seems someone worked pretty darn hard to come up with this set of words. Had me going a spell...

this is a very romantic poem.

"If you were aware of my heart,
You would see that you hold it
…in your hands."......a true romantic heart

then tailed with a beg "Handle with care."
a verse with 200 proof.
