If only I can hold your hands - <br />Hands that caressed my head in distress, <br />Those hands that wiped the tears rolling down my cheeks, <br />The very hands that held mine tight to mean you love me... <br /> <br />If only I can smell your fragrance - <br />Fragrance that livens me up each day, <br />The scent of happiness, calm and warmth I have known, <br />The very smell I have known to be my Oxygen... <br /> <br />If only I can taste those lips - <br />Lips that are dipped in honey, <br />Those lips that has twittered like a butterfly on me, <br />The very lips that cutely curves to say you love me... <br /> <br />If only I can hear your voice - <br />Voice that kindles and unleashes my spirit, <br />The voice of love, care, tenderness and confidence I enjoy, <br />The very voice that has become one with my 'inner' voice... <br /> <br />If only I can meet those eyes - <br />Eyes that speak the message of love, <br />Those eyes black and white below those dangling brows, <br />The very eyes that penerate skin depth to understand the real me... <br /> <br />If only I can do these, My Love - <br />Once and once more only, I shall deem it <br />The Gift of My life - the gift I would cherish in life and after, <br />The very gift that would define my existence now and forever... <br /> <br />Aug 2008<br /><br />Manoj Kyan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-only-i-can-my-love/
