Subjunctive Mood of Love
If Love were a metal, you'd be 24-karat gold
If Love were an ocean, you'd be the Pacific sixfold.
If Love were a wish, you'd be my last desire
If Love were a flame, you'd be a 3-alarm fire.
If Love were a natural disaster, you'd be a tornado or a quake
If Love were dessert, you'd be chocolate cake.
If Love were an epic, you'd be an odyssey
If Love were genius, you'd be a prodigy.
If Love were speed, you'd travel faster than time
If Love were a poet, you'd be an angel of rhyme.
If Love were distant, you'd be a universe away
If Love were rare, you'd be an unassisted triple play.
If Love were a birthday, you'd be my favorite gift
If Love were a symphony, you'd be Beethoven's fifth.
But alas, Love is elusive and fleeting and captured by few
But if Love is forever, then Love's me and you.

You guessed it, this poem was written by our very own Schimri Yoyo. He wrote it in his senior year of high school and showed it to me when I was searching for a love poem for speech class. you can see some of his other quality poems on poetry.com by searching for his last name. he and his brother Koniev including "Death is a Patient Man" and "Prioriety of Teenage Males" if you expect them all to be serious, you are sorely mistaken my friend
thanks schimri (and bigjig) for this poem. i was looking for something to write in my wife's valentine's day card. i need look no further.
