Lines

There are always times that a poet
will struggle to find the words
to show what lies within his heart,
to have his feelings heard.

As I've said so many times, my Dear,
the words have flowed like wine,
they have never come any easier to me
and they.ve never been as fine.

But now a problem faces me,
and I don't know where to go,
to show what lies with my heart
so that you are sure to know.

The problem is that they've grown too fast
these feelings in my heart,
for the woman I see and sense in you
that I've desired from the start.

And as the weeks have progressed, my Dear,
ever deeper they have grown,
and along with that the desire in me
to have these feelings known.

And with each successive poem,
especially the last two or three,
I saw the problem coming up
that would soon be facing me.

And now that's just where I've arrived,
and what faces me this day,
just how I'm supposed to cross that line
placed in front of me some way.

And within the ones I've written,
I''ve left a clue or two
to try without actually saying it,
to express how I feel about you.

I've tiptoed all around it,
and I've walked up to the line
of exposing what lies within my heart,
these feelings that are mine.

And I've tried to sneak around it,
but it seems there is no way
and the only thing for me to do
is just cross that line today.

And throughout this poem so far, my Dear
that's been what I've been trying to do.
To find a way to cross that line
and express how I feel to you.

But it's far more easier said than done,
for it's much safer on this side.
It's a chance and risk not taken
with those feelings you don't confide.

And despite all the efforts given here
I don't know if I really can
express to you that word or two
that lives within this man.

And with that I'd better end this now
with me feeling clearly lost,
for this poem is now a failure
with that line left still uncrossed.

Thank you, thank you very much...lol

Wow- you need to cross that line... before someone else does...
