I'd paint a picture of bliss
blues and yellow, with a dash of pink

If I was a singer
I'd sing a song for you
righteous melodies, humming along

If I was a cardiologist
I'd pump your heart full of love
sweet emotion flowing, to a rhythmic beat

If I was a gardener
I'd grow something savory
gingerly love it, and with thyme watch it blossom

If I was a photographer
I'd capture the essence of you
develop and fix any wrongdoings (Framing your beauty...)

If I was a magician
I'd pull your love out of a hat
make your troubles disappear in a cloud of white smoke

If I was a ventriloquist
I'd pull your heartstrings
have you say what I long to hear

But instead I'm just a writer
penning my emotions on paper
Poetically wording what I cannot say...

Your imagery is outstanding and the concept here of "If I was" made it an enjoyable read. It brought my imagination to it's peak, enjoyably, then let me back down to earth with the simple truth "But instead I'm just a writer". I think it is just splendid the way it let you weave it through your own mind while reading.

Ah Scorp, from my fav. song from 1927.
"If i could do anything at all, I'd do it for YOU!"
You've captured this one so well my dear friend. You never cease to amaze me. Done with style and pure talent. As always your radiance shines through ur work. Such flare with a pen u have.
Hugs,
Dreamer

I think I know the song..; )
but in fear of being wrong ..I digress..
love the play on words in the 4th..
and the whole write as well..

It's analogy and metaphor at it's finest Scorp.
5 from me...very well written.

But if given the chance, you'd live every moment of what you write, wouldn't you? :-) And it's the moments that count in the end. This was beautifully penned and I hope you find what you seek. Blessings, J.
