Beautiful photo, down by that river with your Love, If Only it could be after winter, if the heaven's opened and she came to you, an angel in disguise, but a real living one, you'd not be If only, you'd be With Only!

Beautiful romantic lines.

this is so very nice Regis. Mary

If Only - I love this poem. I never get tired reading about love. My wife and I have been married 44 years. I'm alreading panicking because one of us must go before the other.

"If Only" This is just another lovely poem of yours, Regis. Yet 'if only' we'll please God, we would all be going to heaven.

I Love This Poem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will read this to everyone over & over again! Beautiful!

Steph

With you, is always better than without you. Good non-poem. Nice flow and simple message, its clear to see that you are a more traditional poet. Much love KF

Oh my god our poems are very similar!

Two thumbs up and a smiling nod.

very good expression of your inward feelings-well done

Dear Regis, I understand what you mean, nothing is nicer than to be with you love one. Aupres de ma blonde...Love Emile

You write from the heart, Regis. And to me that's poetry. -gene.

love and hugs

Awesome. A beautiful write, thanks for sharing.

I am not a fan of you constantly repeating the phrases 'if I could' and 'with you'. I think they lessen the poem's appeal and I don't like how the poem sounds as I read it. It becomes tiring having to read these phrases over and over and the flow doesn't seem as smooth as a flowing stream. The phrases aside, the rest of the content is great though and makes me earn to experience these things with someone special.

Reg,

The last line tears my apart. Losing a loved one isn't an easy things. Very beautiful.

Mary

A TOUCHING WORK OF YEARNING...DONE FROM AN UNIQUE ASPECT. THANKS FOR SHARING, REGIS. LOVE AND BLESSINGS, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

It's a very good poem Regis, took me on a ride, with you poetically, cheers

awwwww...thatz simply soooo sweeeet...
its...If Only or think of Robert Herrick's....I dare not ask a kiss, I dare not ask a smile,Lest having that or this, I might turn proud the while.....
Warm and best wishes :)

Lovely my friend. xx

I can imagine the lovestruck character in City of Angels reading this to Meg Ryan. So in love he is willing to give up his angel wings and become a flesh and blood mortal man.

It's coming from the heart, that's for sure!

Congratulations, Regis!

you know dear Regis...you would fall
into love doing all this
or you both would share the deepest gifts
known to the love of friendship

Love Always
Dancing In The Rain...with you!
Vickie

The depths of this so filled with love,it hurts. wishing your dreams come true...etw

What a wonderful way to feel about someone. I agree with what Jon so aptly wrote here. Hope I get someone to do that with

hug

Regis, it is funny you should phrase your intro with, "when someone gets so much into your soul, you get a bit crazy". It is so appropriate and yet I never really thought of it in exactly that way. For me as your poem so aptly describes. There is a need for me, a want for me to share every event in life, large or small with my wife. When I am alone and witness a beautiful panorama, a piece of artwork, flowers, whatever, I feel cheated that I was not able to share that very moment with my wife. As though the most important ingredient of the experience is missing. So I very easily relate to your words. Thank you for putting some of my emotions into words. May love peace and joy be with you my friend. Jon Michael

Dear Regis,

This is a lovely, poignant, poem which says it all. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful works.

Love n' stuff,

Micki

I hope yo can.

So reminds me of a beautiful song of The Beach Boys from about 1973: Only With You. The force of love behind this heart-searing cascade of "with you"s is the stuff of Niagara, Regis, and is deep calling to deep. It's silent roar is transcendent and thunders with longing. The only sign of "crazy" is you saying that you don't "claim this to be a poem"... but I know what you mean: it is far more importantly, the voice of your heart. As I've said elsewhere this evening, but equally here: I'm sure your "with you" echo will be returned to you by she who shares your soul. Moving and uplifting, thank you. xx

nice! - morgan

Longings of the heart so beautifully expressed. Lovely work Regis.

If only it was a poem. lol, Silly billy, it's a darn kewl one.

This could be a song.

A beautiful and heartfelt poem Regis. I often say IF. May God bless you every day of your life.

Daniel

Awwwwww if only....love it!!

Love TinkaSweets

A heartfelt rose by any other name.....Patrick

Lovely sentiments, Regis...perfect for a fall romance, even better for a winter coupling by the warmth of a fire sharing the coziness of a blanket...hearthside and goblets of wine If Only...be well...

Love,
Sage

Without over-glamorizing, love, this poem brings forth the truth; and some may need it to be just the way you put it, Regis. I think we write, and definers define; this one is straight forward love, if defined by me.

This seems to come from the heart, Regis. Thank you for sharing. Hugs,
Sheila

Enjoyed!

if it looks like a poem ,smells like a poem taste like a poem,and lastly.............FEELS like a pome ....then it's a POEM...
nice work and I also want that someone,that you pen so well

Right here on earth. So many times I have been there, wishing to share the moment, only to experience it alone.

Just bought an original oil painting of a Corpus Christi sunrise very similar to your photo.

Ron

"If only" are two words that shout lonely...wonder how many times in our life do we use it
A poem filled with longing, Regis well done!

Carole~

If you only knew how deeply this touched me Reg. Thank you. Much love, Michelle

The way you portray longing is exquisite Regis ~
I hope you can find this dream can come true.
Blessings,
Christine

Beautifully romantic dream, Regis! I believe dreams are realities we haven't caught up with yet......

Anna

i appreciate your sentiments ... a sad but meaningful poem ...

You can feel what you are thinking ,I really like this poem
Great Job!

Never will happen if based only on an if

It would appear that you picked the wrong person to invest your heart and soul in. I have always found it impossible to understand how someone can walk away from the one person who loves them so completely. Such a lament, Reg.
Take care,
Sherry

so sad but well written and expressed

You should go get her and never let her go again.

Ciao,
Ragno Donna

I have a poem with that title repeated throughout the poem. Interesting. Say, didn't you have lots more titles posted here?

I do believe someone is in love.
God bless,
Lew

Lovely, Regis.

Very nicely done.


GOD BLESS YOU
TONY

Reg, May all your "if only" s ...become your pleasure to inhale, moving words~wonderful images~
Blessings,
Christine

Well done, Regis.

Beautiful poetry.

VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

heartfelt read

"If only,"...I understand completely.

A lot of "if's" can only bring the reality of striving to overachieve our potinshal.A fantasy than reality
But then even a few would be better than not trying at all.
It's the love snd lust in us all.
If you're gonna be reching - might as well reach for the stars
Enjoyed Reg

Now This 1st Class...

TRASK

God how I know this feeling. Man, I really get it! Love this piece Regis. You really encapsulate the yearning and desperation. Like wearing somebody on the inside of your soul, swimming in their veins. Beautiful.

This poem is a delight to the senses. Well done!

Peace, love and blessings,

John Michael

Yes ... if only ... enough said. There's 'that place' again, Regis. ~Hugs and love, Elizabeth
