If i were a carpenter

If i were a carpenter

A Poem by wordman



Life without you,

i wouldn`t understand if,

you wasn`t my lady,

and i wasn`t your man.

 

my life wouldn`t be the same,

without you,

but the world,

wouldn`t either

 

you take my breath away,

you sooth my soul,

when we`re apart

my heart is cold.

 

one day,

i will build a cabin,

in the sky

where eagles soar

and we never die.

 

My lips are sweet,

my love is true,

and i give it all,

all to you...

I always admire the sincerity, humility and simple tone of your poems. I can hear Alan Jackson or one of the true country artists singing this in a dim concert hall, just his voice, a guitar and a white halo around his wood stool. Sure, Elton John, but I'd prefer the country version of this one. Another enjoyable work.

Does 'you' symbolize the job of carpenters here?

Cabin of clouds or woods that'd fly by hundreds of colourful balloons? I remember UP movie, this poem is more loveable than that. A man failing to express his love by his acts; does by his words inside. Lovely write W☆

thank you very much
I was drawn by the title. I always liked the Johnny and June tune. This sounds more like a mellow rock love song from the seventies. England Dan and John Ford Coley stuff. Sweetly romantic. I enjoyed.

you are sweet,thanks
awwwwwwww Wordman! very romantic ... "When a man loves a woman" eh!? ... "if i were a carpenter" triggers a lot of songs ... Gladys Knight, Johnny Cash (and many others) and that great song by Elton .. packed with music and feeling .. she has got to love it :))))))

This is the time when love is really tested, we look at life differently now, the world it seems are all sailing in the same boat, hope we all make it.
