If I Found Love Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If...
And with commitment to a giving,
I would love again...
With commitment to a giving,
I would give,
To commit to a giving...
Love another spin,
And with commitment to a giving.
But if...
And committed to a giving,
In my search...
To be committed to a giving,
I would find,
In commitment to a giving...
Someone with a like mind,
Also committed...
To a giving given.

People who love and not trust...
Do not love.
Or can be trusted.

People who say love's a must...
From someone else,
But keep their's hidden...
Do their best to qualify,
A love they lie minimized inside.

People who love and not trust...
Do not love.
Or can be trusted.
Or...
Faithful to commit.
Or submit,
With this to admit.

If...
And with commitment to a giving,
I would love again...
With commitment to a giving,
I would give,
To commit to a giving...
Love another spin,
And with commitment to a giving.
But if...
And committed to a giving,
In my search...
To be committed to a giving,
I would find,
In commitment to a giving...
Someone with a like mind.
But...
People who love and not trust,
Do not love.
Or can be trusted.
And...
People who say love's a must...
From someone else,
But keep their's hidden...
Do their best to qualify,
A love they lie minimized inside.
If...
I found love,
Forever it would stay that way.
And if...
I found love,
Forever it would stay that way.
And only if...
I found love.
