If I Was To [2007] Poem by Catherine Beahl

If I was to
Forever dance gracefully across deep navy blue seas,
Would you come and dance
Alongside my lonely soul?

If I was to
Collect all the golden stars in the cloudless night sky,
Would you spell to me an eternal love
With your gentle soul?

If I was to
Sit alone on a grey rain cloud overlooking a loveless land,
Would you sit beside me like a god
Just to see me smile like the blazing sun?

If I was to
Jump from the burning heavens of heartbreak,
Would you catch me with your soft grip
Even though I’m not a perfect golden angel?

If I was to
Ask for your precious heart in return for my eternal love,
Would you turn me down or,
Make me your blessed queen?
