If Only Were I To Love You, Ms. W

Since I am divorced and single for close to 3 years, I am extra motivated to write love poetry. Here goes one of many such poems:

If only were I to love you, Ms. W

Forever, would my life change

Expand significantly, would my range

Become I would, one of the happiest people in the world

Hopefully would this last, at least until I grow old

Innocent as a child, would I become

For every pain, would I easily find a soothing balm

Everyday, would I be humming a tune to myself

Never again, would I be aloof!

If only were I to love you, Ms. W

For you, would I sing the best Harris Jayaraj melodies

Hopefully, would that lead you towards finding your inner peace

Also, would I pick the most revolutionary Thanthai Periyar quotes

And then maybe would that end up giving you goosebumps

Watch a romcom together, we could

Laugh and cry together, we would

Your English, could I make fun of

My Tamil, you SHOULD make fun of

Bringing snakes into everything, would I love

Bringing politics into everything, could you love

Nothing is there, which we would do together not

And always would we be right on the dot!!

If only were I to love you, Ms. W

I would be on your side, no matter what

Unless were I off my hat

All day, could I go on listening to you

As if life started and ended with you

Laugh at every joke of yours, I could

Criticise the government every minute, I would

Write a poem about you twice a week, why not?

Join you in a protest march, would I love to

Were I to land up in jail, so what?

After all, it’s all about we two!!

If only were I to love you, Ms. W

Were you to ask me to do anything, I would do it

Unless were it against my principles

Or on my character, would it mean a blot

Were I to miss any of your calls

Apologise I would, for sure

Say you were under extreme stress

On me, you could CERTAINLY take out your anger

Or could you go silent for hours and hours

After all, I am NOT a fair-weather friend

With you would I be, right till the end!!

If only were I to love you, Ms. W

A fantastic life, could we have together

“And they lived happily ever after”

Ah, what a beautiful and sentimental fairy tale cliché

Well, could our love story carve out a niche

However, I just realised it’s all been a dream

Nevertheless, have I absolutely no shame

Because, this is what love poetry is all about

Oh, if only were I to love you, Ms. W

It would be a feeling impossible to beat

On this note, let me finally end this looong poem

Hope it has made you all beam!!
