If I Could


If I could hold you with my words, I would
wrap them around your waist
gently, loosely
so that you wouldn’t hesitate
to move closer
leaning into me
If I could touch you with my words, I would
move them over your body
slowly, incessantly
until your breath became quick
your skin moist against mine
in lovers motion
If I could make you smile with my words, I would
send you giggles every day
light, breezy
a soft southern breeze
cooling in your shadow
If I could see you with my words, I would
watch you from afar
dancing, writing
to your hearts content
never looking back

Very Beautiful, JLR, it reminds me of a poem I wrote a while back that compliments this one perfectly. I'll post it..

JLR~
This is so beautifully written.

'If I could see you with my words, I would
watch you from afar
dancing, writing
to your hearts content
never looking back'


All of your thoughts reached out to me.
Thank you for sharing this.

Let my thread intertwine with yours. For smiles you give to me, touch the essense of me. This pulls and draws me ever so closer...
closer... LP

Day in Day out...My love for you grows.
Without you, my life would be empty. So I hold my mustard seed of faith in us.

This was so very well done. Nice subtle touch.

If I could
I would breathe
the silver deep

and know the next
is music from home
and sway once in Passing

for you know
all of the silver horn fade
at least once  then wink competely

A turn from your tale yes
a turn from your meanainc not
I would go to her immediately and forever

Bearing both completely
never bothering to assauge nor stop
only kiving every moment in the light

we poor wretched humans have
the audacity to call Love
which means define what forever giving means


Sorry RJ. KJ got carried away, I know, again.
