How To Compliment You (1-10-23 @6:26pm)

How to compliment you, 

I wouldn’t know how. 

Words can’t do you justice, 

Paintings pale in comparison 

no matter how 

they claim to be masterpieces. 

Have they not seen you? 

You are the utter quixotic beauty

the ineffable and impalpable 

The remarkable vision

my eyes are privileged to see. 

I do apologize 

for the lack of my words, 

For my eyes are the ones 

screaming the words 

that haven’t been created for you yet.

Maybe if thoughts could express themselves, 

You’d understand a bit more. 

Although the wonders

in my head 

about you

might make you scared,

You’re strikingly stunning, 

achingly so.

How to compliment you, 

I still don’t know how. 

But this poem is for you, 

And this is meant as a compliment.
