If I Were Your Love

Inspired by Bob Dylan song : Make You Feel My Love The sparkling dawn lights bright My heart’s horizon of longing in glow Spreads the sunburst colors of delight On my love’s sparkling meadow. In my mind’s valley of yearning I’ve traced a trail to reach you The fervent clouds of my craving Melt in the sea of emotion I swim in blue. I live now only to seek you I’m sunk in the depth of loneliness You’ll take me to the blooming valley of hue My longing will turn to flower of finesse. In the scorched life of deprivation I’m desiccated like the desert lake Give me the soothing rains of elation Make me an adored oasis not fake. When the opaque nights of despair fall The storm shatters your somber skies When the stars disappear in raging squall You’ll see the rays of hope in my eyes. I’ll kindle for you a candle of divine glow Like the full moon in your sky it’ll shine You’ll rise from the desolate debris flow In the dark night I’ll be your light benign. Your essence is my second shadow Fused with the motif of my feeling How many candles I’ve lighted there aglow You’d know if I were your love waiting.
