"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?
