I Wish I Could

I wish I could untie my hand, set it free, So that if you offered yours again to me I could accept your proposal knowing that Our relationship was not ambiguous... I wish I could open the valves of my heart And let the love I harbor pour freely out And cleanse those wounds That have not mended rightly Scarring me visibly with melancholy... I wish my poetry had the potency To convince you that I love you truly And that the very place where all things must end Is the place most likely to begin again... But, I do not wish to undo what I have done Because from mistakes made I have also grown And struggled for wisdom that is essential To capacity for higher potential... I wish the greatest wish of all, for true love For this I have waited to know when it comes It shall be genuine and not misleading Candid, not disguised-playful, not deceiving... ©All Rights Reserved-2012
