There are no words to express you
You might attempt with a song
But there is no melody that can capture
your presence
which shatters night into dawn

there is no artist
no poet
no scholar
no dream

that could explain you
portray you
or sing of your schemes

no word to describe you
no photograph to represent you
no book to summarize you
no look to condense you

instead there's a fading
dimming
bleached memory

of your looks and your presence
of your books and your tunes
of your unforgettable lessons
to which I reluctantly return


all thanks to an indescribable you
