What muse could render me the verse
To catch and captivate your grace?
When all the muses stand submersed
In awe of you, -- thus I must praise
Your charm in silence! With affection,
My stunned bewildered stare receive.
Don’t ask me to describe perfection,
My pen’s not worthy to conceive
The needed words. I dare not write--
To strive for the absurd intent
And miss the moment of delight
Of seeing you. Allow me then,
To simply watch with admiration,
And utter nothing in ovation.

Wow, I enjoyed this.   Short, but excellent.  

 Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau"

Thank you everyone,

To tell you the truth, I wasn't sure about this one, but after all of the responses I got I guess that it did come out good... Thanks
