If only…

If only we had eyes

to see colours yet to be named,

if we could hear music

beyond given range of hearing

if only we could touch the untouchable

if only there was courage

to touch all touch-me-nots

taste all forbidden fruit

shed tears labeled ‘embarrassing’

sing in silenced zones

if only there was heart

to break should-break laws,

if only if-only things

unionized and mutinied

we’d have an unrecognizable world

so coloured and symphonied

layered and laced

it would be water-made

and fire-frilled

so transparent

that word would not be banned

but irrelevanced.
