Too Shy

You may read my eyes 

for an honest confession 

else for an elaborate answer 

as my lips quiver...

too shy to compose and deliver

and you know that better

Your infectious smile is the reason behind...

My abundance of ease

I do solemnly affirm and reprise 

but my lips quiver more than often

Fail to utter ...

can't you realize?

Our blissful relationship has helped me

mellow with age...

Release freedom of emotion 

savor solitude like a sage

it has taught to remain discreet

In my dealing

Carry no grudge nor ill feeling

Once robbed of life's essence

I have evolved as a person

Come of age

my quaint soul now resonates...

to the chimes of sublime under your tutelage 

I hope you listen to these feeble whispers 

as I am inept to convey.
