I spied you across a room
Of jumbled words
A few crude rhymes
A moment of tentativeness
Stammered lyrics of intent
As the fog of language cleared
A beautiful girl appeared
Forever enshrined in humble verse.

“Makes me smile, instead of tear up. The ending is so sweet and simple. Innocent prevails throughout these poems: “As the fog of language cleared/A beautiful girl appeared/Forever enshrined in humble verse. A magical innocence of spirit, heart, soul” she finally finished.

“a room of jumbled words’. I love the image and the moment.
Thanks Geoff, lovely you could stop by.
I like how you express so well that feeling of not having the right words upon seeing someone attractive and well put togethe or just maybe making a bit more effort for you than they usually do. There’s this sense of wonder from the speakers view, and I think an intent from the woman he sees to impress 🙂
Thanks Mandi a very insightful comment.
