If My Love Poem by Anisa Tara

If my love could fly
It would circle you over
Like birds of prey
With sonnets to hover

And if it had lips
It would anchor you down
Where your feet tread
Kisses to trail the ground

If it could utter words
It would whisper in desire
The dronings of a mad woman
Till your poor ears tire

If sight was its privilege
It would unravel your threads
Search you through and through
But love you nonetheless

And if it had some courage
Perhaps it would be true
Love would resign herself
To know it could never have you
