If I were to have a lover
I would desire him to be like warmth of sun on my skin
When the world is frozen under my feet
If I were to have a lover
In my time of need
I would step in a garden full of lively flowers observing
As they smile at me
If I were to have a lover
His gifts would contain glorious feelings
As soft as the feather of a dove for my treat
If I were to have a lover
He would relax my mind with the sweet words of endearment
As I traveled into a sonnet of love,lavishly
If I were to have a lover
A lover that could bring me joy
I would invite courage
To the doorsteps of my mind frequently
If I were to have a lover
A lover so genuine
A lover so compassionate
I would look up at the sky with a passionate and content mind
Ready to find my true destiny
