The Song I’d Sing You

Joshua Cintron

Some feelings are too big for plain sentences, they want a melody. This one imagines what I’d sing if singing were how I said I love you.

If I could sing the song of love you now read, a
terracotta-lined street

leading to you would be my stage. I would hold
Spanish guitar

under stars in a black sky with tightly strung
cords to carry unto you,

the undistorted tone of my love. I would set my
eyes upon the balcony

where you sit, press my lips, open my heart,
pour unto you music your soul

can dance to. I would lift you with a voice to be
heard in a language only

we understand. I would sing to you the joy and
happiness filling me

with song. I would sing to you, oh, I would sing
to you, my love.
