IF ONLY (Rhyme)

My response to Antonyo's poem IF ONLY (I can't think of another title) http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Tonyo247/1249985/

If only I could walk

a thousand roads to find you there
Or even swim a hundred seas

to see your face, my dear
If only I could fly for long,

be there to where you stand
I'll do my best to find you there

so I can hold your hand.

If only for a moment, dear,

I have to close my eyes
To dream a dream where there you are,

with no more hues of lies
If only there in my sleep,

I hear those words from you
I'll sleep a thousand years, my dear,

so I won't see you go.

If only I could be the one,

the bravest of my kind
I'll cry out loud that it's your heart

which I always want to find

If only, oh, if only dear,

our time is right for us

I’ll only stay there in your arms 

until the moment lasts…

I love this poem, Dhaye! It's so beautifully written. It really struck many emotions for me.

"If only for a moment, dear, I have to close my eyes
To dream a dream where there you are, with no more hues of lies
If only there in my sleep, I hear those words from you
I'll sleep a thousand years, my dear, so I won't see you go." - My favorite part. I can relate to it.

Thank you so much for the time spent in this piece, Michael. I appreciate the kind words.

The songs and the piece beautifully works well in tandem ...

[Dhaye]

Thank you, Neil.

This is a beautiful love poem Dhaye. Your heart flourishes in this wonderful piece. You have me walking along a secluded shoreline, watching the sunrise with the one I care for deeply. Very nice my friend.

[Dhaye]

Thank you, Jack. =)

I understand these words. Sometime we want to return where we started. Thank you for the amazing poetry.

Thank you, Scott. When I can't think of any subject for my poem, I used to read pieces to be my muse in writing, then I will make a response poem (the poem was posted as a review/ comment to anyone's piece).

That's my technique when I have a writer's block.

Glad you enjoyed it. =)

[Scott Metro]

I get the block too..sometimes a person or something they might have said will give me a hint..but I would say that 99% comes from personal experience.
It's kind of odd that you number your poems..not bad type odd..just different.

That's because they're going to any of the books in progress right now. You see, my books are compilations of songs, short stories, quotes and poems.

[Scott Metro]

:) Ah...now I understand.
