If Only Poem by Harley White
If Only
[Song Lyric]
If only you'd stated
How darkness you hated
And not vacillated,
I could have been free.
But you hesitated,
When intimidated,
To be liberated
And broke trust with me.
If only you'd waited
The year that was slated,
Laid down and dictated,
Unalterably—
Time would have abated
The fate I was fated.
Love could have created
A new destiny.
Now gone is every hope and dream.
No dawn can break. No moon can beam.
Each star has lost it's silver glow,
For far from you I have to go.
If only you'd stayed
You could not have been swayed
By your mother's tirade.—
If I'd only been smart!
If you had been there
For me as a White Bear,
I'd have felt you could care
For me right from the start.
If only tonight
You had not lit the light
Of your doubt and your fright,
We would not need to part.
If only your eyes
Had seen through my disguise—
Oh, if you had been wise,
You'd have followed your heart.
Now gone is every hope and dream.
No dawn can break. No moon can beam.
Each star has lost it's silver glow,
For far from you I have to go.
You certainly caught the spirt of the time frame of the painting, the melody belongs there, the song king Henry wrote..green sleeves would hold hands with your melody, very impressive, i must say you have a knowledge of many areas in life and not only that, you seem to be able to comprehend the meaning and spirit of the moment. I always enjoy reading and listening to your works.
You inspire me greatly with your verbal accolades! Your comments are always much appreciated! Thank you so much… and for coming back to listen to the melody!
Are there any other hidden talents stored in the person of Harley white? It stands to reason, a true artist is never limited to just one picture, one poem or song, everything they touch carries something of them, and your words brings to life the characters in the picture as they are the vehicle for your song, I am never let down by your art in any form they take, whether in intellectual terms, poetry or song, they are all intertwined, I will come back to listen to the melody when posted.
Oh my, such complimentary words send my spirits soaring. I’m glad you will return to hear the melody when it’s approved, since it is part and parcel of the song. Thank you very much!
A nice poem on love lost. Emotionally strong poem with a nice flow. Touching. Liked it.
I’m pleased that you enjoyed it. If you know the story, she does manage to regain love, but with difficulty. I also posted a sound recording that is awaiting approval, so if you return to the post, you’ll be able to hear the whole song. Anyway, thank you!
