—–SLYBARD—–"Perhaps no person can be a poet, or even enjoy poetry, without a certain UNSOUNDNESS of mind."

My Muse thus guides this feeble hand to con old topics as Swift did in his time; and perhaps I shall be chanced to write much better verse…

If I could

If I could:

I’d sing a sweet serenade

And tame wild and restless Wind

To carry it, day and night,

Over wide-pathed land, to you.

If I could:

I’d steal from the boy who lived,

Destiny’s wand and bewitch

Night’s bulbs to spell out our names

For the world to see AND know.

If I could:

I’d bribe, with Iris’ bow,

Fate, to deal us better hands;

And Time, with Cleopatra’s hand,

To prolong serene moments.

If I could,

I’d be there with you.

For a moment there, I almost said thanks. But I am sure the person it’s meant for is saying the same thing.

I love it.
