If I Could But Roll Back Tyme Poem by David Whalen

If I could but somehow…
Roll back time
Could I once again
Feel your warm breath gently brush my ear

If I could but hold you once more
And feel you were mine
Feel the beat of your heart
In holding you near

Feel my lips once more…
Brush against thine
Could we once again whisper
Words we wanted to hear

Wouldst that again
I could call you mine
Would that I were able
To kiss away your sweet tear

If I could inhale your scent
Like a fine vintage wine
And expressed
my love without fear

I’d ne’er release you
Til’ the end of time
If once…just once again, I could look into
Your eyes so sublime

My eyes fill now with tears
Why was I then… so blind
If I only could but somehow…
right now…somehow…go back in time…
