Love Poem: More Than Meets the Eye

More Than Meets the Eye

My true self I have hidden, 
And with bashfulness is ridden, 
And all that I am feeling forms an ultra-silent sigh; 
My throat contracts with dryness, 
I am beaten up with shyness, 
For what is going on within equates much more than meets the eye. 

With resolve I try to fight it, 
My tongue gets tied so tight it 
Doesn't work to speak the sentences I need to amplify; 
As I stammer and I falter 
I pray for this to alter, 
For what is going on within equates much more than meets the eye. 

I must hope this writing reaches 
As it begs and thus beseeches 
With a vehemence of truth that I hope will clarify; 
I would brave the very devil 
For us to reach another level, 
For what is going on within equates much more than meets the eye.
