If I had breath

If I had breath enough

I would breathe out all this tiresome dross

Filling me till full of futile thought

Positively, I would tip toe into your mind

And infuse you with the wonderful smell of summer

Actively, I would start a courtship so rare

That my heart would pulse

Beating like humming bird's wings

You alone would I know

Recapture a youthful glance so true

That only you and I would know it

Deciphering scenes like artful dramatists

Purposely rehearsing for our future

Still, you don’t pause to look my way

Your charms adorn another’s arms.
