If I Had Poem by Nero CaroZiv

If I had this solid perfect frame of a gorgeous man then my love sighs
Would be echoed swiftly like drugs through this ivory rare shell
Your lovely ear, and tangled earlobe, to find and to stir your heart so well
That my passion arm me for my grand enterprise.

And if you continue to regard me as the knight whose foe falls and dies
You find none; my attire is simple no glistens on my bosom swell
If you trace me to find me as a shepherd in the mountainous slopes before a dell
My lips cannot sing to the lambs nor with shaken limbs I tremble at dusk skies

And yet rapt with the rage of ravished thought,
And through divine contemplation of your goodly sights
Your thousand glorious images in heaven wrought
Whose wondrous beauty, breathing sweet breeze delights

And stuns me in kindling love in high conceited uprights
That my heart throbs and dances scanting all over delights
I wish to tell the things I feel, the views I behold
But my wits fail, and my tongue frizzes to a halt like a paper in fold

So fondly I will breathe your existence, as softly I will sigh
That you may think a wild amorous breeze to caress you is nigh
And as I will be by your side, the wind blowing wide, you shall see
That the sigh comes from me

Who can paint your lovely image in wording of praise
To illuminate the dim and dulled eye with your fair immortal beam
Such a beauty is the world duty to an oracle be raised
That the world would watch with awe extreme

For myself as any other immortal to eternal decay
I will declined and my existence subdue on my last day
And my body disassemble and so be wiped out likewise my name
But you shall live eternally by this gracious frame
