IF I WERE GOD

I memorized love as your face

And long ago realized that if I were God,

I would have changed nothing about you

Not the curve of your lip or the giggle

Like sleighbells bouncing on silk

Not the secrets of your eyes

Or the sound of sighs or whispers

Nothing would I have changed

Because I have always judged beauty,

Joy, hope and promise by comparison to you

And all things beautiful bowed in your presence

Wow, wow, wow!!! And they call me the romantic poet. My word my friend, this is one of the most beautiful pieces I have read. Love is the key to everything in my opinion and you have painted it in bold letters on the walls for all to see. I better stop now, I could go on forever. Wow!

What a wonderful review. I am humbled and thank you sincerely.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, this is real love..."even if i were god, i wouldn't change a thing..."
this is love and acceptance of a person, exactly as she is...too often in relationships we try to change the other person, eventually. why? we were initially attracted to that person because of who he or she is to begin with...why not leave well enough alone, and just love?

really good piece...
