A Poem by Annique le Roux
"

The inability to explain love

"
a complex mix of words assail me
for I know what I would like to say
it is found within my thoughts in what I see
inscribed upon my heart even heard in what I pray
but I fail to express and cannot manage to form 
an utterance of something which very definitely may
require part of my inner-most being to be worn
outside my chest inside my eyes
visible yet unknowable the very thing with which I adorn
my mind each new day which brings me to my highs
and keeps me which plucks me from my lows
and lifts me you see I fail to realise
that while I revel in the view it quietly grows
springs irrepressibly upwards I cannot employ 
my waning control and it repeatedly shows 
in my life and seeks always to destroy
the draining demons that never cease to wait
in the dark recesses of my mind and 
it succeeds leaving me at peace as I know
that this unspoken feeling which I carry has
power that even I know not
grounded in love unbound by distance
it remains unchanged yet growing so
I thank you for this sweet emotion which
holds me ever captivated in its
strength and beauty and lends 
these qualities to me as a constant flow
like a swift mighty river
of life something unlike any other for such love is
unexplained and as complex as the words 
I now write for I remain unaccomplished in
this task undertaken to explain
my thoughts prayers whisperings of my heart
to show the meaning you add to my life but
perhaps an inkling of value has been portrayed
of this inexplicable emotion a complex mix
of words assail me and I fail to do them justice
perhaps three simple words may do it for me
I love you
