If I could not be there :: beautifuldeath :: Original Poetry

If I could not be there

When I am lost to the night

And victim of endless dreams

That always contain you

Would you remember me

If I could not be there

To greet the morrow’s sun

Would you miss my smiling face

That only smiled because of you

Would you long to see the light in my eyes

That sparkled just for you

Would you crave my velvety flesh

That hungered only for your touch

Would the simple things I’ve done

And the countless poems I’ve penned

Be enough to let you know

Just how much I truly loved you

Deep inside my heart

If I could not be there

To greet the morrow’s sun

When you think back to all the love I gave you

And how I whispered my love for you into the wind

With every breath I took

And how I loved harder when you smiled

Blushed brighter when I saw you

And fell to pieces when you laughed

Would it be enough to remind you

To listen to the gentle breeze

That carries the tender I love you’s

I wove into the wind

When I can no longer be there

To greet the morrow’s sun

And offer you the kiss

That knows only your lips

DeepEclipse commented on If I could not be there 07-29-2009: Interesting. It was like a soft dark melody that sings with the light of the sun. You interweaved these beautifully. It always hurts a bit to read poems of this type of loyalty. It is something I long for but may never find. So so beautifully crafted.; Reply to Comment
