if i was your lover

if i were wealthy
i would by you the world and wrap it up with string
if i were clever
i would make sense of this life for you
if i were a healer
i would make you feel no pain
if i were a cellist
i would compose my music in your beautiful image
if i were a gardener
i would grow you sweet roses
if i was your lover
i would tell you all of these things in a poem
if i was a poet
i would tell you these things while we made love.

Beautiful imagery and very nice use of irony. I particularly like the way the last four lines work together.
