PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

if I had the talent

I would sketch again and again

draw you from memory

and not miss a line

you're loved in my heart

and burned in my mind

I try not to love you

and I swear this is true

but the harder I try

the more deeply I do

if I had the talent

I'd paint pictures of you

doing the things

I know you love to do

with wind in your hair

and the sun on your face

in clothes fit for a princess

to accent your grace

to preserve you in time

and not just in my mind

to honor your beauty

my love is blind

I think I'm more trouble

than you need to go through

and I've tried not to love you

I swear this is true

but so deep in my heart

love burns for you

If I had the talent

to mold you from clay

I'd work on your sculptor

both night and day

I would prop you and pose you

dress and expose you

sculpt you every way

you ever appeared to me

first from my memory

and then from my fantasy

I've tried not to love you

at times even tried

to make you not like me

I'm more trouble than worth

and that's easy to see

but so deep in my heart

I'm begging you to love me

give me the choice

of fortune and fame

or one night with you

in my minds picture frame

and no one in the world

would ever know my name
