If Only: A New Year Wish
If only I, a soul, could fall in love
And be complete with you, on a new day,
Or, would, as I unnoticed go and pray
with time, perhaps, you'll notice me hereof.
Alas, the sweetened blue reflects a dove
And I know true, you hear not what I say
As burdened my dear heart in shadows lay
With poison-tip spears and bleeding black glove;
And yet, today when I was gone so far
Your hair so bright and soothing, tempting I;
And removing loathsome poison to marr.
Eyes so blue the poison cannot scar,
With a glance to me I cannot then cry,
For you with golden locks never see me,
But seeing, searching, you has set me free.
