If I were

(if I were)-Vivian Okafor if i were an artist i'd draw you in my canvas i'd tint your light complexion I'd shade in your dark brown skin I'd carve your curves to perfection I'd make you my masterpiece if i were a painter I'd use the brightest of colors to show just how bright you shine I'd use the darkest of colors to show how grim your absencemakes me feel if i were a painter id make you my Picasso if i were a sculptor i would carve your perfect oval eyes i would carve out your strong face i would carve in your muscular curves yes, if i were a sculptor you would be far more magnificent than Michelangelo's David if i were a playwright i would make you a protagonist the center of my work the muse of my writing yes, if i were a playwright Shakespear would much envy you if i were a singer you would be my vocals you would be my rhythm I'd put you in my melody and make you my bass if i were a singer the sirens would beseech you if i were the creator you would be the world yes my love, you would be the leaves, life, love and the air i would make you exquisite, a one of a kind creation that god himself will spite you BUT I'M JUST A POET i have put you in my rhymes i have put you in between my lines i have seduced you with my words i have wooed you with my stanzas all my sanctions would end with you you'd be the back story to my irony i have made you my muse that even the muses of ancient Greece weep! i know its not much but its the best , i can do, my gift is my poetry and this ones for you
