Earthly Things Fail To Describe You Poem by Leslie Alexis
Earthly Things Fail To Describe You
I cannot think of anything worthy
Of describing you. I thought of the way the
River flows, then I remembered when its
Banks overflowed, causing great havoc in
Many lives, to me such said of you,
Would be blatant lies. Then I thought of the
Spring, the beauty it brings: in flowers -
So beautiful, and in birds that sing
Harmoniously with each other, evoking
Smiles. Then I remembered, it is only one
Season, one fourth of the year, and I was saddened.
For In my visions of you, you are always there.
Then I thought of the rainbow, with
Colors - so radiantly magnificent,
Then I remembered, it’s only a mere
Reflection of beauty - taking from another.
But your beauty comes from within, and your
Smile stands on its own. Then I attempted
To liken you to the sun, the way it
Brightens the day, then I reminisced
On how you also brighten my nights,
Even more so than the day… you are my light.
In my quest to find the words that adorn
You, I came up undone. Yes, you were born
Of man, and may die a death like man too.
But to this day, man is yet to find
Words that communicate the heart and mind
Allied, describing the essence of you;
Save but one: God. He made you – complete.
Agree with Abdallah. the transition, evolution of your delivered thoughts are exceptional and you can imagine your passionate writing while reading down the lines. great work indeed.
This poem is so....cute! :) really an excellent write, an amazing poem from an amazing poet. ;)
For sure earhtly things what ever it can be beautifu, l but most of time we can't find the right words to express about we who love.Well done dear Lesie, i added you to my friends list, hope to hear from. Have a wonderful day. Hosny Soliman Egypt - Cairo
very well wriitten and brillant i love it keep on writting and never give up
Words are just words some would say but yours twist and turn in such a melody that sways. Hypothesised, you become adorned. You become of the object that words can not describe. It is a exquisite poem from a very talented poet, full all the good stuff if only I could write such a happy poems as you do. I'm better with death, sadness, and anger. But of my poems I find this type the hardest write. The difficulty is how do I write when I feel content? You I think have conquered that.
So in my quest to find words to adorn You, I came up undone. Yes, you were born Of man, and may die a death like him too those were my favorite lines. the whole thing was beautiful and so mature. You might as well be a pro the way i see it :) good job
Amazing poem! I must recite this poem as a magical poem... You know the reason! Every line has its spirit and darting its arrow to one who read this poem in a way..... But I'll not say that here...I must say this's real poesy...I salute you..
