Four ifs
(a just because it’s Monday poem)


If I could hear only
one voice today
I’d wish it were yours

If I never write another love poem
that’s ok
the last one will always be for you

If I could change my mind
go back and rewrite the day
I wouldn’t

If it were mine to be anywhere
I’d simply be
with you

*sigh*
If I could be left speechless
It could only be by you
To make me smile on Monday
As only you can do

Okay, so it’s early, this is a lame attempt at a poetic response!!     erfkad

==================================

Ya know...you write quite a sweet poem from the porch
Hey D ... have I mentioned how well you wear your heart on your sleeve?
mothyme

Of all the things in me I could never be,
of the true I kept hidden from view,
the best parts of my heart ...
were the ones touched by you.

If I could write
If I could sing
If I could dance
If I could ring
  your phone I would
  to tell you privately
  what a sweet poet you are.
But I can't write, sing, or dance
and your number is unlisted so I'll
have to shout this to the world...
Duncan, you are one cool cowboy.
