"If" - A Prayer




If i reached just far enough,
Would you let my hand touch your godly face?
Would i be able to draw your smile
With only the brush of my fingertips,
And feel your breath in the vessel of my palm?


If i whispered just loudly enough,
Could my voice lure your spirit towards me?
Would you hear my song as beautiful
As the hymn of an Archangel,
My words making sacred love to your mind?


And if i wished just hard enough,
Would the stars, witnesses to my dreams,
Guide you to the garden grown only for you
Out of the colors in my eyes?
Would they show you heaven inside my arms?


What if i kissed you just intensily enough,
Would i feel your skin tremble under my lips?
Your heart, would it taste exquisitely sinful,
As eden's fruit, against my mouth?
And your body, would it crave holy communion with mine?


If i wanted you just strongly enough,
Would i, like a flame, burn inside you eternally?
Perhaps would you worship my name in a church
Built out of my faith in you,
Like a religion founded on human devotion?


And if i prayed just long enough,
Would you learn to adore me as you would a goddess?
Or would you just renounce me, terrified
Before the sanctity of these offerings,
And crush my heart under a halo of thorns?


Tell me, if i loved you just deeply enough,
Would mine become one more soul
Crucified on the cross of unrequited love?
