If I Were Your Love
The stars would glisten, just a bit
More… like the whispers
Falling from hearts who know joy
The trees would blow, breathless
In the winds, through moments
Laughing hues of gentle kindness
Displayed on hopes and dreams,
Aliveness felt like never before…
Promises growing on the open doors
Beyond the past, erasing all doubt
So the music, soft and tender, warms
The spirit in embers of passionate
Mysteries, intense and free, in rhythms…
The night, gasping in the Summer
Hastening through light kisses,
Awakening soundless hungers, thirst
For the rivers rippling with peacefulness,
Craving only the moonlight’s appearing
On sapphire skies… alive in the nocturnal
Flowing with intimacy, familiar as the secret
Blending of hearts and senses, dreams –
Fires so alive they stir up passionate poetry,
Promises affectionately displayed, unburdening
The music in flames, murmuring…
The forests wisdom quiets the reasonings,
Forming autumn knowing, victorious
Racing through the veins in melodies,
Reflecting all the singsong twilights, the
Personalities of native wings, pleasantly
Gurgling on the creeks, persuasive and still
Like the smooth stones who never fear
Losing their way amid the weakest ache,
Falling rains, gentle flakes, nestled soft
Against the secluded confidence
Two truths sharing the little things,
Miracles of faith – wonders in praise
The serenity of a devotion far more alive
Than memories who tell the spirit –
Life will soon end, only to begin again
In the heavenly home where we are known
As two together, two as one – born
To love without conditions, forever and always
If I were your love – I’d be eternally abiding
Beside you, in life – in death – in paradise
With the One who gave us this tenderness,
This reason for believing in love’s everlasting
Light, the flames that were ignited and burn
Throughout eternity, such a sight – so bright
Burning into the horizon, loving words, feelings…
If I were your love – I’d be like this endless flame,
Forever glimmering, blazing, glowing with the gaze
Intense and furious, in a spark that stirs the beautiful
In hearts, in souls, in spirits – with a love that is endless,
Love that is our miracle!
If I were your love – this would always be enough!
