Had i but
the power
i would
scatter
golden coins
at your feet

Had i but
the power
i would
adorn you
in jewels
you deserve

But all that
i can offer
is my love
a copper coin
already proven
insufficient

And all that
i can offer
are the dreams
where you are
never adorned
always adored

Had i but
the power
you would have
my being
already you have
my soul

Had i but
the power
but the power
was never mine
and the offer
came too late

Oh my dear Roger.. when one with such wit and bold charm bravely sets his heart in the palm of my hand, how could I not weep. This aches with beauty and vulnerability. You dont need power. You have magic. katy. xox

So exquisite is this piece for in all the beauty it never lied in the riches or the glories you wanted but in the offerings that were truly the wealth your love.
Wonderful touching masterpiece..

Very good Roger! I can see myself now with my copper coins and a bucket of gold paint! See even if I could do something to possess my love for a little while ... this is what I would do. Have her for now cause I love her so much. One day would have to last me forever. Bill
