I'Ll Sit There Speechless Poem by Joseph Wraithbone

I look straight into your eyes
And I see the ring of green.
I dance 'round in it
As if it were a meadow's grass coated with dew.

I look about you.
Your rosy red cheeks.
They light up the room
With a consuming fire, like a burning inferno.

My eyes move to that russet hair
That the cool breeze blows in the wind.
It is soft like ashes that coat the ground
And coloured like the bark of the scorched trees.

I take you in, your full form of wonder.
It's like a white rose at the prime of it's life.
The smooth white petals
And the gentle graces of each movement it makes by the wind.

I look at you in all the splendor of who you are,
And I know I'll never even bask in the scent of your being.
You'll be gone like the breath within me,
So very quickly out of my life,
And I'll sit there speechless...
