When My Words Are Inadequate

You've got quite a way with words

I, on the other hand, struggle to put them together
You will take the chance any day for a worthwhile heart
I, on the other hand, am quite risk-averse

You wear your heart on your sleeve so easily 

I cannot even admit my feelings, even if its only to myself

I try to grasp and express my thoughts
As eloquently as I see fit

But elusive words play games with me

Playing 'catch me if you can' with my emotions

They disappear like a mirage on the high-way

The closer I am to grasping them... articulating them

But, how about you allow me to draw u nearer to me

Let your head rest on my shoulder for awhile

Find your comfort in my arms for a moment

And part ur lips as my eyes bore right into your soul

For I can say in one soulful kiss 

What i can never say with a 1000 flamboyant words

~ Just about the time the shadows call, I undress my mind and dare you to follow.
