For T--
Like a clumsy child:
heavy fingers made of lead
gawking awkwardly at love-
fragile beautious crystals
brittle as glass-
placed in soiled, trembling palms.
In nervousness words are lost;
beautiful ancedotes forgotten.
All that remains are tell-tale glances
like a window to the soul
eyes reveal what speech cannot impart:
the reciprocation of love.
