               If It Were True


               There would be
                 a designer's bouquet
                   in your favorite
                     ephemeral colors and

               a new orchid hybrid
                 with its lasting bloom
                   to fascinate us both
                     many days to come

               If it were true

               We would spend
                 a wispered evening
                   at a distant place where
                     neither of us were known

               in the hours before
                 the lights are turned
                   and the room is quiet
                     but for the breathing


               If it were true

               I would ask for
                 nothing more
                   than a gentle smile
                     in the morning

                ~but you are so very far away~

Thank you all for reading.

Actually, a few poems to read to each other, enough to last a pint of Guinness, and I could be happy.

If only it were true . . .

I read this several times
