I wish I could untie my hand, set it free, <br />So that if you offered yours again to me <br />I could accept your proposal knowing that <br />Our relationship was not ambiguous... <br /> <br />I wish I could open the valves of my heart <br />And let the love I harbor pour freely out <br />And cleanse those wounds <br />That have not mended rightly <br />Scarring me visibly with melancholy... <br /> <br />I wish my poetry had the potency <br />To convince you that I love you truly <br />And that the very place where all things must end <br />Is the place most likely to begin again... <br /> <br />But, I do not wish to undo what I have done <br />Because from mistakes made I have also grown <br />And struggled for wisdom that is essential <br />To capacity for higher potential... <br /> <br />I wish the greatest wish of all, for true love <br />For this I have waited to know when it comes <br />It shall be genuine and not misleading <br />Candid, not disguised-playful, not deceiving... <br /> <br /> <br />©All Rights Reserved-2012<br /><br />Romeo Della Valle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-wish-i-could-10/
