A Gift
In legend a man once was given
A gift--- to choose his last remark.
Once said, he then would fly to heaven
Where he could safely disembark.
If I'd the gift, one phrase to say,
I wouldn't say anything at all.
I'd lose myself inside your arms
To cheat the Fates and Heaven's call.
I'd drown in 'blonde' and eyes of blue.
You'd feel the warmth of my caress.
I'd kiss your lips and hold you near
And 'show' the eloquence I possess.
But, yet, I fear, my trick would lose.
I'd fail to carry out this coup'.
I'd feel your needs, then quickly choose
To breathe the words... "I Love You!"
