Do I tell you? A poem. (Blog marathon post 8)

Do I tell you?

Do I tell you about the way your eyes lit up,

With a hundred questions unasked, unanswered.

Or do I tell you about happiness multiplied manifold

With precious stolen moments, cherished, treasured.

Do I tell you about the words unsaid, but perfectly understood,

Each nuance amplified like it was on a giant billboard.

Or do I tell you about the million racing thoughts,

Whirling dervishes, a thousand stories enacted untold.

Do I tell you about the placid lake, blueness unbound,

And the sun that played truant when the clouds danced.

Or do I tell you about racing heartbeats uncontained,

Gratitude, sheer contentment and bliss, triply enhanced.

Do I tell you about   the cherished memories made today,

For a while ,when the world outside stayed across the boundary.

Or do I tell you that narratives are only for prose

And a perfect day like this was nothing but sheer poetry.
