Tawny Ramblings
The Black Knight
Scribbles on a tawny page
Seeking something wise, something sage
A blinking cursor in a sea of white
Fingers frozen before they type
Where are the words to express this feeling?
The thoughts to describe my heart's reeling?
It's a roller coaster of hope and joy
An itch that tickles, not annoys
Like speechlessness before beauty manifest
A thunder coming from within my chest
My vision swims through sight and sound
Smelling the ocean flowers all around
Like a breeze on a summer's day
This feeling is more than words can say
I'm sitting here anticipating
My smile betrays my expectant waiting
Eyes searching past the door
Ears peeled for footsteps on the floor
And as my page starts to fill
My pen keeps dancing still
Fingers flying across the keys
Words flowing out of me
But no poem can contain
The wonder hidden midst your name
The awe sparkling in your eyes
Or the sorrow when we say goodbye
So I'll end my rhyming ramblings
Exchanging written for verbal shamblings
Seeking something wise, something sage
A blinking cursor in a sea of white
Fingers frozen before they type
Where are the words to express this feeling?
The thoughts to describe my heart's reeling?
It's a roller coaster of hope and joy
An itch that tickles, not annoys
Like speechlessness before beauty manifest
A thunder coming from within my chest
My vision swims through sight and sound
Smelling the ocean flowers all around
Like a breeze on a summer's day
This feeling is more than words can say
I'm sitting here anticipating
My smile betrays my expectant waiting
Eyes searching past the door
Ears peeled for footsteps on the floor
And as my page starts to fill
My pen keeps dancing still
Fingers flying across the keys
Words flowing out of me
But no poem can contain
The wonder hidden midst your name
The awe sparkling in your eyes
Or the sorrow when we say goodbye
So I'll end my rhyming ramblings
Exchanging written for verbal shamblings
