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 :)

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

[tailor STATELY]

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. :smile5:

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

I wonder why don't you...?

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...?

Such a touching poem :) ... goes well with your recent link: http://tse4.mm.bing.net/th/id/OIP.WomNzBeAULVxPaV72iTzKgHaFO?w=230&h=170&rs=1&pcl=dddddd&o=5&pid=1.1

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.)

[tailor STATELY]

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.
