If

If one day my love leaves me all alone
If I can't hear your voice on my hearts' phone
If my eyes are full of tears and I start to cry
If I can't find my way back no matter how I try
I'll remember that once I had a love so true
I'll recall that you loved me as I love you

If my heart calls out in the blackness of night
If I seek for you and just can't find your light
If the sun should leave a gapping hole in my sky
If I've lost my souls wings and now can't fly
I'll remember that once you held me near your heart
I'll recall that you said we'd never ever part

If the wind calls my name as she moves the tree
If the rain in my heart threatens I'll never be free
If my eyes seek your form wherever I look
If I feel as if my heart were on a meat hook
I'll remember the warnings telling me the price
I'll recall that I agreed to play with your dice

If my heart grows weary from days of sorrow
If I can't look forward to the thought of tomorrow
If the days look ever dark and full of tears
If the lonely days seem to stretch for years
I'll remember that I burned for your touch
I'll recall that I loved you far too much

Beautifully woven.  You led up to your final line quite finely!

I wrote a poem with this title, I think it was last year.  It is completely different, if memory serves.  I'll have to look for it in my cyberfiles. ;o}

"If"....the biggest word in the English language in terms of all it means....

Loving is always a gamble; but win or lose, worth the risk....

loved the read

Circe, I'm sorry I made your eyes misty, mine are too, because well you know why, never mind, he'll be back, I hope. Thank you my sweet friend, you are always generous in your praise, and I really don't deserve it.
And if Mohamad can't get to the mountain, I'll try to get to you.
Take care

Kari, Oh kid   you have no idea what praise from you means, I thank you, truly I do.
Take care

VAS please post it I'd really like to see it, truly. Thank you I really do apreciate you stopping off to read this one of mine.


Pepper, you are so right, love is worth any risk, and any price, but it's also good to know when the relationship isn't going anywhere. I think I'm just having a down in the dumps day. Thank you
Take care

Ethome, thank you again, I hope that I've answered the questions tenderly, it's not what has happened yet, but no one ever knows the future do they. I'm having a blue week I think, which is why I love it here at Passions my soul and my heart need to be revitalised. And your poems certainly give me some of what I need. So thank you muchly.
Take care

Marsha,
A beautifully written poem. If, we could turn many things around I am sure we would run out of time.

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love

Daniel, thank you, if's and maybe, two words that can offer a dream. Although we shouldn't chase the dream ever futher on.
