Vijay Pandit Poet Free verse

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!

Line Gauthier January 2, 2018 at 3:35 PM 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.
