if the ocean didn’t ebb
and the sun didn’t set and
if wishes were mine
for the taking
then i wouldn’t need to miss
you, we’d never be apart

if wishes were mine
for the taking
if  trees weren’t trees
and birds couldn’t fly
i would be in your arms
right this very moment
and forever

if wishes were mine
for the taking
i’d own a jet
and i would know
how to fly...no
if wishes were mine
for the taking, I wouldn't
need one

if wishes were mine
your kisses would be too

if wishes were mine....

If wishes turned to kisses I would be covered in lipstick.  Love your verse...flows so well and now I am left wishing.

Corazon - I really love the way you kept the theme of fulfilled wishes moving toward love realized.  Your stanza breaks kept the transitions locked tightly.

I guess it's a good thing you don't have a Genie in a bottle cause it sounds like all hell would break loose..!!  

Trees not trees and all... yikes!!

On a serious note -- very nice poem here HFG
