Page after page
Scrawls in chicken-scratch scribbles
Words flit - jumbled.

Gaze out of
Moving windows - searching for a meaning
Articulation escapes - writing

Over right shoulder

You smiled - silent

Page after page
Written thoughts cannot express a smile
From you - overwhelms

Drop the pages
Forget the verbosity - for that clichéd phrase
Will have to do.
