Love Poem: If Only

If Only

If only, I could purge your will,
to bring you hence -
from some secure domain,
felt scarring from immense.

That larger apathy of trial - so hopelessly
I bring you back to wit!
A course filled destiny
that lighter steps can take,
because love lifts the stake.

Oh measure then, my love -
Without you in my wake,
a stride away - I fake contentment for thy sake!
