If Poem by Uche Nwanze

If loving you is a crime I will gladly submit myself like a lamb to the gallows or the guillotine.
If you were food I will have you for dessert.
If you were a song I won't give you up for
the best opera, i'd rather sing all day
long.
If you were a Shirt I will adorn myself with the apparel everywhere I go.
If you were a road you will be my only destination.
If you were the Sun I will climb the highest mountain and stare at you
all day.
If you a bed I will lay my feeble body all
night long.
If you were a Television show i'd choose
you over Oprah's.
If you were a book I will read no other bestseller, I will read you from cover to
cover.
If you were a brigand I won't press any charges, will rather permit you to steal
my heart away.
If you were car I will take you for a
cruise.
If you were a yacht I will sail round the
world.
If you were medicine I will fall ill over and over again.
If you were vinegar I will drink you in
gulps.
If you were poison I will go inebriate
Of you.
If you were a movie not even a Steven Spielberg movie can stop me from seeing you.
If you were a river I will immerse myself and never stop taking my bath.
If loving you is a mistake, I want to make
that mistake over and over again.
