Would You Still Love Me

Sponsored by: Jerry T Curtis   Abridged Version   Contest My Song
_____________________________________________________ 


I didn’t see the moon in a pearly hue.
The ocean’s waves weren't a deep azure blue.
If the meadows didn’t sing a soft gentle tune.
In a pearly hue I didn’t see the moon.

Would you still love me?

Floodlights don’t shine brightly as I glimpse the starry night.
Waterfalls don’t cascade in a rainbow of colored light.
If the warm summer rain didn’t fall so lightly.
As I glimpse the starry night, floodlights don’t shine brightly.

Would you still love me?

If I ceased to be able to rhyme, I could not write.
If eagles didn’t soar and doves didn’t take flight.
If I was no longer a poet til the end of time.
 I could not write, if I ceased to be able to rhyme.

Would you still love me?

Edward Ibeh Date: 7/21/2025 5:17:00 AM Awesome poem, SV. I've also written a "Would You Still Love Me?" poem--longer than this one - a few years back. Check it out. I have to revisit it myself. Best of luck in the contest! Login to Reply Speaks Volumes Date: 7/22/2025 7:11:00 AM Thank you Edward, yes it was difficult to decide which 2 quatrains to remove to make it suitable for a song. I was glad to lose the fairies, but it lost some meaning removing the quatrain beginning with : If all I needed was you, not the air that I breathe and love. But cest la vie.. have a happy day.
