Unseeking Seeker Poet Rubaiyat

Notes About The Poem

If Only I Could

I would, if I could, plant a seed
A spark of joy that love may lead
But cold hearts sing not in chorus
Whispers of soul, they're yet to heed

How may I make your heart porous
Peering through the eye of Horus
I see your soul, as yet asleep
Dormant still, is your heart’s torus

I would, if I could, take the leap
Enter your subconscious mind deep
That our hearts be not asunder
Bliss in permanence, ours to keep

Head over heart, a big blunder
Insentient to bliss thunder
Humming within by day and night
Rapture unbound, divine wonder

I would, if I could, use God's might
To set between us, all things right
But for now, methinks I must wait
Till you garner spherical sight
