question

byScheherazade73©

would

What would I say
if I could press my lips
to yours
as you slept
and whisper
my secret?
How would I trespass
your dreams
with my words?
Betray my need
while your sleep
safeguards
my heart?

you

And would you,
as I slept,
confess yourself
to me?
Breathe life into
this sacred
almost?
Murmur truths my
unawakened heart
cannot yet bring itself
to hear?
Would your artless vow
be what gives
me faith?

I do understand what Desejo means, but to me the two single words lead up to the first line of the second stanza as a kind of link...
A question without an answer, of course - if only...

Some wonderful lines here

However, I don't understand the single word lines (would, you). For me, they detract from the poem. Interested to hear what others think - and maybe what you were thinking with the structure.
