fumbled, words

beauty is in the eye of the beholden, and i find myself besot by you

inspired to not move mountains, but reimagine them, reshape them, craft them into monuments for you

whether hammer and chisel or pen and ink, i yearn to make something that will withstand time in homage to the brilliance i see in you

an epic demonstration of the triumph and joy of knowing you exist, in a world of banal clones you project a full spectrum of colors and desire

as the words fumble from shaky hands, the meanings wrapped and obscured, you shine

making me feel like a colorblind painter whose destiny is to capture it on canvas, define it for the world to see

time and time again i fail to portray it in all the myriad wonder and joy, leaving clumsy attempts behind

one day the perfect combination of you will flow from these arthritic, gnarled digits, and all will sit in amazement at the true perfection

that is you
