    Adoration

    You are so precious to me
    that I could hardly dare
    to write a poem
    glorifying you

    You are so precious to me
    that I timidly enter
    adjectives to illustrate you
    secretly doubting that they are not
    worthy of such a fascination

    You are so precious to me
    that I strive not to illuminate,
    through attributes and metaphors,
    the paths and avenues leading to you

    For, so many beautiful women
    Might flock around such a delicacy
    to direct all its attention to them

    You are so precious to me

    Beautiful poem. Enjoyed the refrain and the way it was purposely omitted in S4

    Ta ! (short for tarradiddle),

    who am I but a stitch in time
    what if I were to bare my soul
    would you see me origami

    Thanks, tailor, I am glad you liked it.
    What is "S4"?

    S4 would be the 4th stanza... I liked how the refrain was not included in S4, but rather set apart as S5 to make it stand out... the refrain being the element in the poem that repeats

    A stanza (S) is a grouping of lines, with a rhythmic pattern or not. A line would be designated as (L)... so S5 is also L17

    Oh, I see! Thank you, tailor. PC abbriviations are not so known to me.

    Some people want beauty
    Some people want money
    Some people want duty
    Some people want cloudy, some sunny

    I wanted the truth
    I wanted the verity
    From my early youth
    I wanted sincerity

    The ugliness of your inherited three
    If you know the truth jack
    The most beautiful man you may be
    Even if you are Cyrano de Bergerac

    I think you are an angel
    Although everyone considers you
    An ordinary human being
    Only I notice how grass caresses
    Your feet when you walk accros a meadow

    I think you are from another planet
    Where the world is most beautiful and loving
    Although everyone sees you
    Just like an average person from here
    Only I see numberless stars in your eyes
    Which our telescopes have never discovered

    When you talk I think that your soul talks
    And not the usual talking organs of which we know
    Although no one pays attention to what and how you talk
    Only I can feel the mild warmth
    Gleaming from your body
    And touches the person you talk to
    With the most amiable embrace of all

    Tank you, tailor. It is so pleasant to hear such words... I mean, to read such words.

    Let it be fully totally completely safely for us all


    Do you think it is possible
    To fall in love with someone
    Who you even don't know
    How does she or he look like?

    Do you understand what am I talking of?
    Do you have a wish to make it real
    With me in this "story"
    Where I've been waiting since... hmmm...

    Can you, would you, may you...?

    Thank you, tailor.
    Here's one joke to make you smile.
    "Men are either inadequate, or occupied or unreachable."
    (I am not sure about the last word in the joke: does it express the exact meaning it wants, i.e. somebody who is too high above the woman who wants him.)

    hmmm... men are many things beyond those listed in your joke; I would disagree with the premise of the last statement.

    He-he! You mean, nobody is "unreachable"? Maybe you are right. One should only find the way.
