If Roses Swept Your Heart Away Poem by Augustus Billy Mutebesi

If every time a fire would light
You'd love me for a while
I'd set a bonfire in your heart
And feed it all the trees.

If just a drop of falling tears
Would mean you'd hold me close
I'd cause all heavens yonder clouds
To cry without remourse.

If roses swept your heart away
And told me just today,
I'd sift to till the whole of earth
And grow you every flower.

If simple word of love and life
Were those that made you smile,
Perhaps I'd write you all the poems
And sing them by the isle.
