If I Were To Love
If I were to love (just saying,
for I am old now
and much of the heat dissipated)
but--if, just saying--
that Classic love
of body and soul,
it would be
with someone like you:
Not the eyes of stars
nor breasts like moons
sweat down of maternity
but the dearness of Christ
and His angels,
such feelings that made Him God
and gave all he raised up
wings and heavens to soar.
So, if I love, just saying
indeed I love
just praying
and even more
again vowing
but this time
not till death do us part
but with truer divinity
far exceeding
the learning heart….
