If you weren't there

A poem on love and intimacy

I could have gone by now,

if you weren't there to wait for me

I could have blinded my eyes,

if you weren't there to be seen

I could have ceased speaking,

if you weren't there to listen

I could have stopped hearing,

if you weren't there to speak

I could have given up dreaming,

if you weren't there to be dreamed

I could have cut my tongue,

if you weren't there to make me taste

I could have ended thinking,

if you weren't there to be perceived

I could have refused sensing,

if you weren't there to be touched

I could have forgotten everything,

if you weren't there to remind

I could have been in curse,

if you weren't there to bless

I could have held imagining,

if you weren't there to inspire

I could have looked the ugliest,

if you weren't there to arose beauty

I could have been poor,

if you weren't there to make me rich

I could have been weak,

if you weren't there to make me strong

I could have been in want,

if you weren't to provide

I could have been dead,

if you weren't there to live for me

This is the greatest example of love I have ever read. I always tell my husband we are a reflection of each other; and I definitely feel that you portrayed that in this poem beautifully!!

Thank you Lee, .....Thanks a lot for these encouraging words....I guess we share a lit wave, that has almost same frequency....God bless

Thanks a lot for reading and reviewing this poem.....Rhythm is the twin of a poem....that's why tried to use repetition

[Dr. Wood ?]

quite unique in a way...A wonderful love poem....should not the 9th verse read FORGOTTEN everything though?

[It's Me, The Miracle]

Hi....Thanks for the review....you are right....There must be the past participle....Thanks a lot for spelling it out....otherwise I may never notice....
