Would You Love Me

Would You Love Me If I Wasn’t A Poet?

Would you love me if I wasn’t a poet?
Writing between the rhymes
Building beautifully a wonder from words
Sculpting skilfully 
What in you
A mesmerising mirth stirs..
Would you love me?
As I dip my whole 
In the depth of the silence of words
And have you hover
In the width of my world
Impatiently,  passionately 
Pursuing the pounding of my heart..
If I wasn’t a poet, would you love me?
The realm I reign
Rarely do I take reins
A time, attaining the zenith 
Dazzled and dazed on cloud nine
One other time
Lost in the dark of my tower
Seeking sensibility in a hyper sensitivity 
And once in a while 
Daring dimensions 
Deafening fright 
Willing to sip
From the ocean of valiant hearts..
Would you love me?
If I didn’t own a magic wand 
And the sacred power to wave on words
Weave a fairy tale 
Of true love at first sight..
Would you love me?
If I didn’t master the mysteries of words
Compose a meaningful music
With every beat of the word
And paint portraits and landscapes 
From the realms of fantasy..
Would you love me, if I wasn’t a poet?
If I wouldn’t for you
Mount mountains 
Dive seas
Dig caves
Plough lands
Plant trees
Wake the sun to stretch her rays
And brighten the chambers of your heart 
And when you crave for a dream 
I would for you 
Draw a fascinating golden hour view 
And choose a rainbow of colours
Just for you
To behold the glow of the twilight..
Would you love me, if I wasn’t a poet? 
If I wouldn’t erase “memory “ from my glossary 
And have you the sole ubiquitous muse
Stop the flow of time 
As I have you in my verse and rhymes
And reach for every single word
And turn it into a rare gem!
Just for you! 
If I wasn’t a poet,  would you love me?
