If

Rating: 5.0


if
i could live for another day
for your kiss
would i taste the sweetness of your lips
beneath the moonless sky
or with the witness of the stars?
yet can it be under a shady tree
while the lark sings a melody
of the brook nearby
yet a kiss is but a kiss
wherever we took the bliss
as long as the lips tasted that of love
and the blessings of a caring heart
if
i could live just for another day
along the bay
would i be picking seashells
to decorate my dry room
or rather throw stones at the waves
and create ripples
anyway we are like stones creating ripples
on others' lives
or woud i rather
run on the shore to create
footprints that would only be washed
by the thirsty waves dying
on the sands of tired times
or would it be better
to make sand castles and pretend to be
a king doing nothing for slaves but drive them
to insanity and desolation
or imagine myself to be a princess
clad in ornaments trying to wait
for a prince that will never come my way
if
i could only live for one more day
i know i will make it the best
of my days that it would not be a waste
of a life worn out for nothing
i had to make it that way
for it is just the day that i can hold
because there is no
yesterday and there will never be tomorrow
i am just living for a day
