If Only


 


If I can hold the one…


The one that’s living in my heart


If I can look into your eyes


Close in my arms tonight


You will see the love I have for Thee


If you will give to me


The opportunity to live


To love…


I am willing to risk my life


If we could turn back the clock in time


For “Zero” it well stand this time


“Zero” pain and “Zero” doubt deep within


No more looking back…or wonder


Of what could have been for us


If only time was given back to us


Back to start over…


If only I can hold the one…


Living in my heart tonight


If only…

this is a brilliant write My dear friend Tinka
AHHHH! how beautiful it is to dream those daring dreams
To search for that wonderful "If"
We all have been there at one time or another
I too possess a few "ifs"
Love & peace be with you

Zero can be everything when you present us with a canvas such as this, Tinks. The longing is immortal and yet could be quenched in the blink of an eye. I hope such a blink happens for you, perhaps when you least expect it! Time is such a funny thing... unquantifiable and yet governing everything in our spatial world. But there is no space between the beats of your heart. Straight from the soul is this. Love, Kate xx

What about Love with Zero Tolerance? or best yet, Love with Zero Treachery?
The poem tells us of a yearn, but also of a fear for that doubletalk.
