Were You to Love Me

Accidental Poet



 

As I think back many years

When you were here with me

I ponder your thoughts

Was it me in your dreams you’d see?

 

If I asked you out

Dare I to fantasize your answer

Would my smile match that of yours?

Making me a heart dancer

 

In my wildest dreams

Where I could make you laugh

If I could embrace your heart

Might it show up in a photograph?

 

The days, they are bright

The nights are long

If you listen carefully

You’ll hear my heart’s song

 

For you are my universe

My heart’s very core

Were you to love me

Loneliness would leave my door

    So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I send it.

    Poetry and song, a good double act.

      I love this poem. The intro is also a heart-wrenching introduction, β€œwhen you were here with me.” Love leaves a lasting impression. Thanks for this, stay safe.

        Thank you Rocky, yes the video of Bobby Darin in this song had me thinking of Sharon so I wrote the poem and included his video.

          The power of music to stir memories is something remarkable. It stirred in you a wonderful poem, fortunate for us, that we may read and enjoy!

          • Accidental Poet

            Thank you Bella. Yes, music can be a huge influencer. Without realizing it, when I wrote it I somehow had the melody of Bobby Darin's song still in my head. So when I proof read my poem I feel the melody still there. I find that happens a lot with songs. The song will sort of lift me up and carry me through the writing process.

              When the magic of music is in you, anything is possible.

                Very much agreed. πŸ™‚πŸ‘

                this is one helluva love poem AP .. and I know for an absolute fact that while Bobby Darin may have served to motivate .. there is another who served as the inspiration for it ..

                  Oh yes, she's been the inspiration for all but ten years of my life. And I'm grateful for it. Thanks N. πŸ™‚

                  That everlasting question AP - What if I had asked her out?

                    Well, at 14 years old in the 8th grade, I'm sure her parents would have something to say about that. πŸ€”

                    Just listening to him sing this gives me goosebumps. Not surprised you were inspired, and how beautifully so. You have penned a cracker of a love poem here Accidental poet, so I thank you twice. For your words and for Bobby!s voice.
