--lmh. Thank you for accepting me although i hide myself behind a sarcastic, mean, asshole type of person.--

My words were paned in copper, not paved in gold.

They worked on hardwood floors, never knowing a red carpets feel.

They dressed in hand-me-downs and worn out shoes

While fancier words received all the appeal.

It was repulsive to see how flushed skin could get

Knowing I’ve never received such blush.

I don’t know how they speak so sound

When all they say is not all that much.

I could tell you 

How every molecule of your skin 

Danced with perpetual perfection 

As if you were rooted in Plato’s dreams 

Yet still too impossible 

For him to believe in.

I could explain to you

How every soul finds a chamber

Inside of another dimension

That holds reason before logic

And love before lust

And the only way to find it

Is to hand your heart to someone else.

I could write to you in poetry.

I can write to you in prose.

I can turn a poetic nuisance

Into an ebony juxtapose

Yet I cannot find the words

That take away your throes.

So seeing your wonderful blush

Is something to which I’ll never be exposed.
