If I Could Write a Love Poem

If I Could Write a Love Poem

The morning sun would dim with shame

and all the dreamers waken.

The grasses would shed their tears of dew

if I could write a love poem.

The stars would twinkle their last shine

The moon would jump right over the cow.

Both would assume the end is now

if I could write a love poem.

For that would mean I'd found my love

The one whose eyes I see

when mine are closed.

Whose fears I free

just by being near.

I put to paper my endless love

my everlasting devotion.

I wrote the words

that touched her soul.

I wrote my heart,

my life

I wrote for her

my dreams untold.

I would show

my love's depth

and strength

I know

Her eyes would sparkle with happy tears

Her smile outshine the heavens.

It would all be so clear

If I'd said so in a love poem.
