More Than Words

Dedicated to a dear friend of mine. First poem dedicated to her that ever saw completion.

You're awesome, have I ever told you that?
Incredible, wondrous, sublime, portentous
Enough to over power the vocabulary of men
Startastical may be a better word
Perhaps maybe dancinostro spoken in a Spanish twang.

There are so many words yet there's never enough
To describe all that make you shine so bright
Anything original quickly turns to a cliche
Anything cliche begins to unravel in your presence
Language fails at the mere thought of your name.

I can devote entire novels to you and I have
A character to a minute yet strong portion of your personality
Whole worlds to show what I've found to be beautiful in you
Ridges and cracks of your faults to shape and accent the all that is you
Yes even the very stars I place have taken a lesson from you

You inspire me to write volumes
Still I can't put a few simple words on a page
All my past attempts have faltered and have been tossed aside.
With no word strong enough to break through the writer's block
Not even lyricious could help

It took me a while to understand why I've failed
You are too much for any language to handle
You are more than words, you are an essence within a vessel
How can I describe something that at the bare components are vastly unique?
I cannot with such a limit of space.

Even this small page as hard as I try
Can never hold an ounce of all that I think of you
You cause my words to fail, yet raw emotions hold true
There can never be a poem that can hold all that you are
For you my dear, are more than any amount of words.

Beautiful. Makes me wonder who you might have wrote this for. Hopefully the subject knows what a skilled poet you are.

Beautiful - a woman should swoon at such a becoming take of them. Nicely spun. Marvelous!
Light,
