Tacit Love

Tacit love I floated near her Like I really, really liked her Meandering silently Breathing her fragrant air. My wordless desire Touched her loving profile Long enough to win A tiny courteous smile. One day I almost said hello But before approaching her I searched deep within My reservoir of empty treasure. Still, I didn't give up Holding on to my tacit love Believing timidly Love alone will conquer her. And as I reached her inner sphere I began to realize Even if I win her over She deserves so much more! December 23, 2017 Poem of the day on December 25, 2017 Placed 3rd..Late December standard contest by Brian Strand

Wonderful, Vijay. Huge brownie points in my book. I get the feeling this does not apply to you personally but it would be awesome if many men had that moment of brilliance where they realize they shouldn't bite off more than they can chew. Well done. Congrats on your win.
