If You Were Poem by Sharon Washburn Flynn

What if you were the Moon?
Would I sail right into you?
Get lost in the depths
of your heartthrob seas.

What if you were a star?
Would I glide-glitter into
the precipice of your smile?
Fill the night with your tune.

What if you were the Sun?
Would I bask in the heat
of your sultry and seductive gleam?
See Dawn's rising undone.

What if you were everything
and everything I wanted was new?
Would I be your branch of delight?
Touch your heart of golden oak.

What if I was a leaf that dangled
on your sturdy and steadfast limb?
Would you hold me close in the night?
Send me on wings of raptured flight.

What if you were the Moon?
Would you sail right into me?
Carry me on a voyage through
the sea of your deep liquid eyes.
