poetically challenged

Sometimes I feel that I am poetically challenged,
when I try to find the words to describe
the beauty that I see in you.

And all too many times I feel
as though I am poetically challenged,
when I try to define these feelings that I feel,
when I think about you.

My hopes, my dreams,
my wildest fantasies,
spill out onto paper
from deep inside my soul,
in a time without end,

as I carry thoughts of you in my heart,
both night and day, in endless cycle.

I hold you in my arms,
if only in my mind,
til that day arrives,
they do once more
enfold you and hold you
close to my heart.
