I Do Not Know You Well, But What I Know !!
I do not know you well, but what I knowEnchants me, like a song sung far away.I cannot hear the words, but what they sayHangs softly on the hills where I must go.
I see you furtively and note your eyes,Hazel and dreamy, your spirit half elsewhere;I note the sheen of your dark, lustrous hairAnd wish I knew your thoughts and shared your cries.
This love brings me sweet pain, but I want more,Driven by a dream I can't control.I want the truth of you, untamed and whole;In frantic hope I haunt your open door.How Can I Tell You What I Feel for You !!How can I tell you what I feel for you?
When I think of you my feelings twist insideAs if someone's fist reached in and grabbed a few,
And turned and turned them tight and tangled.
I've triedSomehow to say: You're the sun in my sky,
The wind that takes me where I want to go,
The sweet incense that makes me feel so highThat loving you seems all I need to know.
But it all sticks in my throat! It sounds too cute,
Empty as a wrinkled paper bag.
You won't believe it! Better I stay mute
Than offer you cliches that make you gag.
And yet I wish to tell you of my love,
If only love its own locks would remove!
