If I Were a Poem
written by: Debbie Tunstall
If I were a poem,
metaphoric words would dance in
synchronicity,
similes would waltz the frown
from off my face.
If I were a poem
I’d wrap sonnets around you,
like tourniquet stanzas
healing chapters in verse.
If I were a poem,
cliches would clash with
unwritten rules,
words would not rhyme and dear diary would not exist.
If I were a poem
gone would be the day
that I smudged my own ink,
threw you in the bin and said
“I’m done with all this. ”
Oh,
if I were a poem
my legacy would remain
As a great prophet who once was
and always is-
If I were a poem.
