Thoughts In the Way

How to claim what I see, how to write, how to say? How can I say when my thoughts are in 
the way?
In matters of the heart, my mind has hindered me. It leads down roads I'd rather not be.
But this boy...this man, he's worth it, but how can I say? Thoughts, thoughts, thoughts, my 
thoughts are in the way!

It's quite the predicament, it's true, so I suppose simple words will have to do.

Warm. Loving. Hurting. quiet. Hides behind masks, and can raise up a riot.
Sensative, caring, thinks he's undeserving. A boy that I love and think he's worth everything.
Funny. Sad. Lonely and seeking. Wanting to love, but afraid of hurting.

Beautiful. Glowing, his Light how it's shining. A lost little boy who inside is crying.
A lost grown man who inside feels like dying...

How can I declare the beauty that I see, how can I write what he means to me. How can I 
say when my thoughts are in the way?

Easy answered, friends, easy answered. My mind does not speak, but my heart acts.

I wish that I could vivify my comments to you and to all better. But I end up babbling and making no sense. So, I will leave you a message today letting you know I did read your poetry and I enjoyed it. I love reading poetry and the poets here are so talented. Have a wonderful day Daniexelle. Love, Carol
