All My Words Fail

All my words fail, out here on the edge, In cataracts pronunciations plunge Onto the rocks of shattered sounds, The meanings call and drag, Unable to explain the inexpressible you, The mental scraps congeal, The ten thousand half-attempted lines All erring, marred, All leaving me here alone again In the insurmountable anguish of love.
