like space, lace and liquid love,

each puzzling piece would fit for us,

and time would trace the importance thereof -

unlike the unlimited heaviness that pulls at me,

i’m holding onto the hope of, if only . . .

It speaks. And we do say "Only if" the format gives us discriptions which do beckon "what if"

Simple, yet powerful emotions from the heart. Those two words often linger as well, "what, if." As the poem states, "if only-" meaning; I wish I knew. Thank you TS, for your lovely comment. My best to you. ~ Brandy

Smiling at you. I can understand that thought taking you to a naughty place, after reading your poetry. I appreciate your lovely comment. "if only," are two words, but they can say so much. Just like in this poem. Thank you, Jared. My best to you. :) Brandy

Beautifully done... Do you write code because it seems like you do from your posts? I graduated from a Web design program but haven't used code in such a long time. I've probably forgotten more than I remember. Love you write. God bless you, Love, Gina

Thank you. No, I don't write code. I'm simply using a word program to enhance my writing. That's amazing. I had no idea that you knew about code. I'm sure if you got back to it, you would remember. I appreciate you Regina, and your lovely comment. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Brandy, congratulations on being at the top of the BNP's! Living on hope, on the "if only," beautifully expressed my friend. How I wish someone could put hope into a capsule that we could take every morning. But, then we wouldn't have need for wonderful poems like this to inspire us. Wonderful work! Sending you blessings on the wings of hope!

Brandy Nicole

My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy
