Paradiso In Exile Valentine

I think I write these verses
Because I'm too embarrassed
To remain still or silent
In the presence of beauty
And just start to babble
I drop my glasses and step
On them doing a stifled dance
To make her/him/it smile
I try to change the subject
I try harder not to stare
I wonder what Dante would say
When even he was speechless
When his love sent him away
To speak more than a passing glance
