American Simple is best / Say less
If I just write these things down Words become our memories And eventually become the very dreams that keep me awake Irony or fitting? To have something compel you to try and fail To describe what you are And what you mean To someone that regularly That leaves me speechless In her simplicity And grace

A few words written down
I'd say anything Just to get a reply back Her attention A smile and a laugh maybe a kiss someday if I was so lucky A fleeting high Whatever it takes From someone that's changed everything So simply that it haunts my core

I am terrified that She will eventually see myself as I see myself When she looks in my eyes and sees nothing but The shell of a dreamer angry and tired And yet she remains Unexpectedly Sharing these few moments It finally makes sense The present Her presence Is nothing short of my idea is perfect

Presence
It hasn't been that long honestly I realized It really has been that simple Where I was Who I was with No matter the circumstance It always came back to you

Realization
I encountered the simplest of experiences of a saint and sinner, a muse and its pen perfectly existing for only about a minute and then vanished. All while she simply existed Unassumingly giggling through small talk And the reason why I scrambled to write on a crumpled napkin is to tell you that for that minute or so I was dumbfounded by a moment of grace or was it madness that has not stirred within me for years Wonderful How fortunate you came along for something I yearned but could never find

A minute.
Come witness now A forgotten heart on display I can feel it now Everything I wanted, I am reminded She is. I will wait until I can feel it now, a lasting smile She brought to a soul That never thought he'd be here long enough Or be enough And that is enough How simple.

Enough
A quiet night's breeze reminds me Meditating, I fail to ever stay still However, this time is different Finally Hushed nothings drone my doubts applauding my failed efforts Mind distant, scattered She lingered right next to me Perfect Dawn is still hours away

Lingering
A faint glimmer Raged against her created darkness Years in the making She persisted and won

Persist
I am no poet but a hypocrite who marvels how you Stir a soul as effortlessly as your gaze to mine An unknowing muse Dried ink could never match your quiet grace A living poem

This time is different Did what I could but fell so short So what's left? My tired glass; apathetic walls My tired arms; a muddied breath A tired soul My reflection its regret But with this same glass A tired soul can sleep An exhale to it all If only this poem brought the same solace
