If Poem by Amanda Eckols

If



if all the world were gold
and all the seas fine wine
I wouldnt take one backwards glance
as I would give it all away for you
for gold cannot with stand the fire
and neither would the wine
my soul so taken with the blaze
its hotter than the sun
if all the sky were topaz
and all the rocks diamonds
I wouldnt take one backwards glance
as I wouldnt take my eyes off you
for topaz cannot with stand the pressure
neither can the diamonds
my heart so heavy longing for you
it heaver than all the worlds
if all the stars were crystals
and all the heavens glass
I wouldn't take one backwards glance
as I would see naught but you
for crystals cannot show the light
and neither can the glass
my eyes so full of colors
its spectrum out spans the rainbow
if all the riches of the lands
were spread before me
I wouldnt take one backwards glance
as I would rather have you
for rich cannot with stand the test of time
and I would rather be with you
my being exist for one solitary purpose
its to love you!
