    I wanted to write something beautiful...
    In vain, I wished for words that rolled over
    And through themselves
    Collecting pieces of each other as they grew,
    As they searched for you
    Becoming a wall of emotion that would break
    Upon your shores
    Leaving you silenced and satisfied

    But those sounds wouldn't live through me
    And in the sleepy eye of mind
    The only image I could summon
    The only inspiration I could find
    Was an old worn sketch
    of you

    How can I explain your own features to you?

    Through your exact and perfect lips
    I've heard only a fraction of the syllables you've spoken
    The words you have choosen
    And your outward jasper eyes cannot show me
    The dreaming as you percieve it
    The changing as you believe it

    How can I explain to you your own expressions?

    I can't

    Yes, it was beautiful purusha. Jasper eyes alone evoke an inner light.
    You can inspire, the exhalation of expression, and begin the circulation
    that points to the center within.

    Sorry, I loved some of the lines and so I've condensed to allow them to glow.

    Hehehe thank you :)

    And while I'm here, I would like to say once more that I'm in love with that poem. Still....

    Thank you for writing something so beautiful, and thank you for sharing it with the world. It's people like you, who make others stop and think. Draw people together. You have such a simple yet profound way of stringing words together to really make people feel something. I've read so many pieces of writing that do nothing for me. They're good and I like them, sure, but it takes something else to make me stop and say "wow". Or physically stop and think about what I've just read. Or bring about some emotional response from within.

    You need some serious applause, there are people who may make a living out of writing, but still cant get to me like you just did there.

    Yes, it really is beautiful. I wish I could write as wel as that... or anything at all. I always get stuck with a few loose bits and no way to connect them. And even if I would manage that, I'd get one of those "well there's a few nice sentences in it but the rest is ultra lame" sort of poem...

    Kudos! ^^

    yes that was very beautiful. when i first read the title of the thread, i was thinking, "well you cant intend to write something beautiful, you just have to write it and let it be beautiful" but thats exactly what you said and did, a very nice surprise, thank you
