Searching for the Words

The words I cannot find.

I search the books on my shelf,

But by the pages I feel confined.

I look deep inside myself,

Yet the words I still cannot locate

I turn on the television,

But the silence begins to frustrate.

I don’t want to use the usual jargon,

I want to tell you how I feel in a way,

That has never been heard.

I want to avoid the usual wordplay.

The only thing that has been conjured,

Is a phrase used more than a tribal tattoo;

That phrase: I love you.
