Oh, what would i say to you now? <br /> <br />i could talk, but i think your smile and <br />those knowing, glimmering eyes would shut me up. <br /> <br />what if i sang to you, i think if you let me hear <br />a bit of your laughter, my vocal chords would cease to move. <br /> <br />i could write, however, my pen would fall flat <br />were you to speak but a whisper. <br /> <br />my heart leaps it seeps it reaps <br />even to read you is a pleasure. <br /> <br />to be near is ecstasy. <br />and sometimes i wonder in this silly <br />cockeyed brain of mine, <br /> <br />how would you like me to be, not act <br />for that is shallow <br />and we are swimming so deep and deeper still. <br /> <br />because you know that you own me <br />i can't help it. <br /> <br />if you asked, i would be yours forever <br />and wish and do wish to remain here with you. <br /> <br />what if one day in passing <br />i reached out to you. <br /> <br />what if i squeezed your hand <br />or touched my cheek to your shirt. <br /> <br />what if i grazed my lips against your ear <br />mouthing, 'i love you my dear.' <br /> <br />what if i became transparent <br />revealing my secrets and all the markings of my life. <br /> <br />how would you be then? not act <br />for that is shallow <br />and we are abiding in the depths. <br /> <br />would you tumble stumble rumble <br />to tell me the same? <br /> <br />i would if you would. <br />please? <br />i'll say it again. and a hundred times more <br />i love you. <br />i love you.<br /><br />Lors Dilouley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-and-some-verses/
