What If

WHAT IF!!

In the retreating shadows
& the look from your eyes
What if what if for once
We break those sighs
A sigh is a sigh & if broken it must be
For there's no one else but us to see
The spring flowering trees
Laden heavily for all to see
The river pebbles the vagrant clouds
& the feet that bleed
The pavements the red petals bear's still
The story between us the wandering scent
 The silent tears falling from your eyes
The silent touches the fevered lips
It blows one's mind the kisses in the night
The desire to possess to hold, to feel
it matters not what if what ifs
Even the strange shadows with the fecund eyes
Whether he's home again or otherwise
It's so so easy to maybe break those sighs
As the night train into distant lands
Passes without you or I!!
