IF

If you were...
a book
I would read you
from cover to cover
again and again
never tiring
of your story

If you were...
a drink
I would savor your
every sip
drink
every delicious drop
and still thirst for more

If you were...
a star
I would gaze at you
for hour upon hour
night after endless night
ever in awe
at the wonder of you

If you were...
a song
I would sing
each precious note
hum your beautiful melody
until my voice cracked
and still strain
to sing you

If you were...
mine
oh, if you were mine
If

Carrie, Carrie! What a poem.. the longing is just oozing from this piece. Your words embody the emotion so well. Very nice..

Another dandy poem, Carrie! Not everybody can go from humor to romance and pull both off, but you sure can. Can't spot a thing I'd change on it.

Critiques are supposed to be helpful, in a critical sort of way, aren't they? I'm not supposed to say 'I like it', but point out ways to improve it. Well, hell, I like it. Good work.

sounds like you got the beginnings of a song on your hands. Beautiful!
