Anna Hopper Poet Free verse

Only If

If I could only
Only if
Then I could
Flee this cliff
If I just had
Had I just
Then perhaps
I could trust
One more piece
Piece of puzzle
I'd break the chains
Of this muzzle
Once I get
Get this break
I'd make not one
More mistake
It's all I need
Need just this
Life would be
Full of bliss
But I was wrong
Wrong all along
Now I sing
The wanting song
If I could tie
Tie this knot
Then I'd have
Everything I've sought
If I could only
Only if
Then I could flee
Flee this cliff

John Lawless July 9, 2015 at 9:41 AM There is an adage that states "be careful what you ask for - you just might get it." The repetition worked well as "stops". And as the poem points out "living is always done on the edge".
