If I Could Be Such Things

if i was a painter,
i would paint you,
not as the world sees you,
but as i do.
With colors your very own,
for you would have to have colors never before used
and never used again,
or it just wouldn't be right.
if i was a writer,
i would write you a book with words that only you can understand.
I would describe you using my heart
and not my head.
if i was an actor,
i would act you out for the world to see
and have you join me on stage.
the universe would feel our presence
it would know how right we are.
i would act for you forever.
if i was a lover,
i would tell you that i can never share such feelings with anyone else as those i have for you,
i am yours for eternity,
come find me.
but i am a woman
a frightened, small woman
and i am a poet
a downtrodden, broken hearted poet
who can only love for you
who can only write for you
who can only see for you.....
