Annabelle Jane Poet Enclosed Rhyme

Words Fail Me

Intellect in disarray,
Eloquence falls short, again.
You, perfect picture, in my mind’s eye,
Words often fail when they aim to describe.

I look in every lexicon,
Delving into dictionaries,
Empty out encyclopaedias,
Thumbing through the thesauri...

I conclude no words compare to you, 
Descriptions weak and rarely true.
No word does justice, phrases fail 
To truly tell what you entail.
