If I Were the Moon

By Cinara

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

If I Were the Moon If I were the moon, I’d embellish your eyes With jewels made in heaven, the stars from the skies I’d shine opal light on your fairness of face Caressing your hair with a moonlit embrace If I were a song I’d be hovering near With lyrical pleasures surrounding your ear I’d shadow your mind with melodic eclipse And the music would pour from your heavenly lips If I were in love, I would walk on the strand Gathering stars in the cup of my hand I’d string you a necklace from bright midnight skies To equal the splendor of jewels in your eyes If I were a poet, I’d gather the words That float from the dawn’s early warbling birds    I’d douse them in succulence, bathe them in wine And lace them together in verses divine Written February 13th, 2002 © on Feb 12 2002 11:20 PM PST   0 • 8
