Jewels are your eyes, a grace
Green emeralds fair light your face
A merry twinkle forever fixed
A smile always upon your lips
I love you

So many words fill
my head like bees
they swarm round
and round
and round

and each time I…
I hold them in
on elastics
they can’t leave

they anger
and sting
eager for that sweet
sweet release

dare I let them
out of me?

I fear the thought
the words
the questions
the rejections

so I sit content
to hear the buzz
and wait for that
that fateful day
for sweet release
