Depth Poem by Troy Clark

My love is as deep as any well
and like water, it's hard to hear unless you listen
for my heart is not a waterfall, but a stream
ever flowing downhill, towards the great blue
just over the horizon

My love cannot be explained in words
but with touch
it's in the way I look at you, how I view you
Colorful and tall against the bland, the gray doubt
words are imperfect, and can never truly explain
the depth of what and how I feel

I can't explain anything I've ever seen with words
nor what I've felt
but I can show you, to the best of my abilities
how beautiful it all was
My love will not explain itself

and, should it honestly have to?
No,
but I'm sure I'll tell you anyways.
