The beauty you portray Silent space filled with resonance I reach for your hand "Would you like to dance?" I've been watching you from across the empty room Try to see you through the gloom People dancing, I don't perceive You stole my heart, you gentle thief The beauty you portray Leaves me with speechless words to say You wear your soul there in your smile Perhaps I induce you to sway with me for a while Sphere like echoes the sound of waltz and swing I raise my voice like a tenor I will sing The beauty you portray Leaves me with speechless words to say Your hand so small so tender Your eyes look into my soul, I do surrender Your aura surrounds my mind A fly within your web unwind Such beauty you portray Leaves me with speechless words to say You contact my skin without a touch The dimmed lights emphasize your smile so much You wear your heart within your smile All I can do is glare at you and sigh Such beauty you portray Leaves me with speechless words to say Can't move my eyes to look away Can't open my lips to say The sound ebbs away, silence fills this empty chamber We dance on, forever, I will remember You beauty shines so bright and gay You leave me with speechless words to say The dance, your smile, your love, all is such divine Take my soul away, …you are My Valentine The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Okay, I was going to say "I love the first verse!" Then I read to "the gentle thief," and that was my favorite. Then I read on and on, and I realized I couldn't cherry-pick the good stuff --- it's allll good! Awesome poem. Mike |
