If I Had...

If only I had...

If I had a voice

would I choose to

Speak?

diligently write that

my mouth might

with words create?

just teasing rhythms

that I might not

answer what I must.

confusing myself,

as I understand 

in God we Trust.

If I had ears

could I ever hear?

listening for waves

but never near

just with two

as I focus for the

one

altogether three

the way is just

not fun.

If I had hands

might I ever feel?

in darkness searching

for what I've been told

is real.

the ridges and edges

of lines drawn too far.

feeling for my life,

But this feeling,

tells me that

I had never start.

If I had a tongue

Should I ever taste?

wasted opportunities tracing

emotions misplaced.

not finding the hint

hidden in the image

focusing instead

on limits

and schisms.

If I had eyes

could I ever see?

what lays before me

surrounded by a 

battlefield

bloodied indeed.

It's always there

just something I feel.

limiting in fun,

I pray for what

might be real.
