I Love You.... Poem by christopher murphy

If i were to say

i love you,

would you pull back the crimson veil

from around your heart.

If i were to say

i love you,

would your eyes yet again sparkle

like the dew on an early spring morning.

If i were to say

i love you,

could you relight the kindled flames of love

you've kept dampened for so long.

If i were to say

i love you,

would the flames of desire

engulf your body like a forest fire.

If i were to say

i love you,

would your heart set sail to mine

so we could voyage together

once again on the seas of destiny.

oh my love,

if only i had the courage

to say to you,

i love you...
