You never know when inspiration will strike There you were dancing on the rooftop Lit cigarette in hand This pen is my paintbrush I try to paint you with words I try to capture your essence But I fail Searching my arsenal of words to no avail Hair flowing like wheat in the wind Eyes like burning ember With each motion of the of the pen My inability to illustrate became more apparent Spent so much time trying to find the words To get you across to you Searching for eloquence But there's so much elegance in simplicity Take a seat behind my eyes Take a peak, catch a glimpse And see that you are a masterpiece Words could never capture the beauty from your skin to your soul Hasn't been that long since we met But you've taken my heart yet I still feel whole
