Basic Description

So let's see, you wanted one about you?
Well, I'm not so sure what I can write
To talk about how beautiful you are?
No that's far too obvious, been done before
How about the way you smile? or laugh?
No, still been done by all the writers past
Instead I'll write something new
Something you've never seen before
Written in black and white, with bursts of hope
So I can dabble in the lines of poetry
While driving in the lanes of of something new
But of course, everything has already been said
In every thought and every breath we've ever had
In every heart beat and every flicker of the eyes
We've both seen it all before, like a movie
Of what we expect and what we hope for
But now I've gone off topic, ran some other route
So tradition must carry on, and become the norm
But because you've heard it all before
I'll do it my own way, so you'll never forget
A basic description turned into something magical
Still, where am I to begin? With your angelic hair
Or your eyes that filled the ocean with light
Better yet, let's speak of your smile
That dims every other light in the room
How cliche this has grown, how very predictable
I'm sure you expected better, but give me time
I write from what I know, and I want to know more
So if you'll give me more time, I wouldn't show you the world
Instead, I'd show you mine...
