If you had

If you had asked for a
moment of silence;
I would have given you right away.

If you had said,
"Bring me a bird that sings the age old rhyme,"
I would have gone to the jungle of central india
and pledge a wise hermit
to grant me one.

If you had desired to see the
rainbows only in black and white;
I would have stretched my arms
touching the horizons
creating a prefect bow.

But alas !
you asked for love
and look here,
I have nothing to offer you
except for a bunch of words,
a jug of wishes and
a garland of prayers;

an ear for your sweet mouth.
