Love Poem: W

If I sing a song for everyday that I love you 
This everlasting melody would cry the virtues when I’m feeling blue 
I’ll paint a picture, capturing the image of your soul
I’d use every colour on this earth, love would be as black as coal. 

Will I walk until I meet the edges of the crashing sea?
Touch the mermaids land, watch them sleep so peacefully 
I would float forever, but the anchor of my soul would pull me to the floor 
Did I fall in your trap? Or did I pick a heart that has no door?

Id cry until there were no tear left inside of me 
Would you shed one or two? Allowing your emotions to run free
I could listen to your whispers, high above the snow-capped mountain
Or would you hear my thoughts? As I watch my penny sink into the fountain 

I know my sight could follow your gaze all through the day 
You can easily see what my eyes are too frightened to say 
My lips will part whilst receiving what they have so longed after
Your kiss would show what I have missed, the tongue of love and laughter

My hands will hold our love, with the help of your grace 
Your grasp never falters, I’m not found, I’m lost in your space
I’d find your heart, looking no further than my own reflection 
The promises I stand are strong and true, or could this be my own spinning inception?
