If I were a poet
If I were a poet, I would
wrap you in my words,
Roll you off my tongue
with my soothing voice,
Meet your every desire with
the motion of my pen,
Making your heart race
every now and then;
If I were a poet, you would
be my only passion,
My inspiration in a world that,
to me, is gone;
If I were a poet, with you
as my one and only love,
I would lower to my knees daily
and thank the lord above;
And if I were truly a poet, I would
swim through your deep oceans,
Speak of all the wonders I see
in the calming darkness of your eyes,
And if I could find the words to
describe my feelings for you,
I could tell of the way my passion
strongly flows - so true.
