Had I the titans overwhelming strength Or the dryads, soft, enslaving touch Imbued with powers of the old If I were to be, then maybe, I might come at your place And how you live, see.
Had I the wit that the wise shared Or the pen that wrote this world Enough paper and enough trees To write of your beauty; I would do that! With each breath of mine, with each word.
Had I the wind that pegassues rode Or the haste, empowering cupids bow. Enough arrows and enough speed; I’d protect you! From everything you’re afraid So you wouldn’t have to sleep, blindfold.
……………………………………………
But, I am none of these! Not a long-forgotten god, not a scholar And even less, a mythical beast. I am just an ordinary human. All I can do is write, write, write And love you; But never, never speak.
