Bad Timing

And what should I write That hasn't already been written Should it be like a sonnet About how I was smitten? I want to write you the words That would make Gods weep and demons cower But my vocabulary is shot And it hasn't much power When I look upon you I see indescribable beauty But the thought of us together Is more than unruly To hold you would be To hold the arc of the covenant So far out of reach But the thought in my head is redundant These words make no sense They are lost amongst the winds Blowing by in an instance As if from my lips they have never been I wish I could go back To the time when it was right But that is something impossible Since, for us, the right time is never right
