If I knew your love was true

I would bear all of your babies

pink and blue

if I knew your waters ran deep

that your values on life were level not a steep-

slide of immaturity that stability can’t grip nor keep

if I knew you could see the inner me that defies age and decay

that the sun can’t damage or times wither away

and love me past the flower of my years

as I bloom inwardly

and fade outwardly



If I knew you were not as fickle as the wind

or as the clock ticks on, and often needs to be rewound

or as the Texas weather in a day it flits as a feather

unpredictably it goes

no one really knows where it will land in flood or snow.

If I knew, I would give you my star

to shine for you wherever you are

I would take off my armor of steel

And all of the love in my heart reveal

If I knew

But I do not

So for now it will stay under lock

You have the key if you choose

to open my heart or to refuse.



If I knew you would understand my fears

not judging but patiently showing you cared

I would show you my secret places source of my tears

Swim in the pools of my joy

as it spills over on the chair

where you are seated

As I crown your thrown

Devoting my love to you alone

But I can’t do that

For I do not know

If your love will come . . . .

And go.
