love without you
If I can't have you,
What use have I
For two, empty arms,
That once embraced you,
Like a mother holding
Her new born babe?
If I can't have you,
What use have I
For two, blind eyes,
That once glimpsed
The face of an angel
The day I feel in love?
If I can't have you,
What use have I
For two, cold lips,
That once breathed
In the soul
Of your passionate kisses?
If I can't have you,
What use have I
For a single, lonely heart,
That once
Made love to you
In lavender fields of blue?
I'm sorry that I'm not there
To wrap you in my loving arms
Until the gentle warmth of my body
Invades every dark crevice in your life,
Like sunlight chasing the darkness away.
I would rock you gently,
Like a mother cradling her newborn child,
And I would sing to you
The words the Lord would have me say
“You are my beloved.”
