Could I <br />steal your <br />beauty, <br />or the <br />lines around <br />your eyes? <br /> <br />Steal your <br />provoked longings, <br />your colorful <br />aura <br />dyes. <br /> <br />Could I <br />steal <br />your dreams, <br />your wisdom, <br />your thoughts? <br /> <br />Could I <br />steal <br />these things <br />for which you fought? <br /> <br />Will you <br />hold tight? <br />Keep your <br />life-safe <br />locked? <br /> <br />Will you <br />come back <br />to join us, <br />your life-boat <br />docked? <br /> <br />I will hold <br />you close, <br />let <br />you near. <br />Treasure your life, <br />no fear. <br /> <br />They live through me. <br /> <br />Your lines <br />will be mine, <br />and so will <br />your dreams. <br /> <br />Letting life-boats <br />dock, <br />guided by <br />your life-beams. <br /> <br />© Jillian Scott 2008<br /><br />Jillian Scott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/could-i-2/
