If Only

If only the sun is forever blue and bright
I will have the perfect tan I ever wanted
And the heart will glow as shiny as the face

If only the rain drops on the driest soil
resurrect the withering flowers and dying crops
Alongside nourishing the forgotten memories

If only the thunders and lightening’s sporadic visits
Not to intimidate the dogs and cats
But to awaken the dormant sensation

If only the sunset does not overplay its perfect beauty
mesmerize the already intoxicated lovers
That the ending of the day is not an anticlimax

Rather the norm of life
