Indescribable

Indescribable
my thoughts hanging out
words push to the front
suddenly   where'd they go
twirling off my tongue
you're more than just a setting sun

Pushing pencil strokes   painting
beauty in an ever welcomed eye
brushes of kindheartedness appear
in the shadows   controlling
the contours and the fear

Backdrop stops where colors lie
yellow swirls of honey
attracting more than just
the sweetness of a simple smile
inscribing unfiltered desire
filling page after page

Chapters start and chapters close
but I propose   that twinkle
will never die  when the ink dries
the syllables will align  creating lines 
describing the indescribable
in hues of heavenly descent

Good Morning Tim. How very true. As long as the thoughts and words are written for the world to see they will not die. They will live on beyond us. How grand is that. Very. You have named this entry perfectly. This is lovely. Well done

My friend, you're the master of imagery and poetry that you can taste, but it JUST eludes you, while it doesn't matter because it's so beautiful! Let that twinkle never die, ink never dry and words never cease to fly.
