A 1978 poem about love


Have I the Right

Have I the right to touch your hand ?
To give you reason to understand.
Have I the right to kiss your cheek ?
For the touch of you makes me meek.

Have I the right to want you so ?
For all I want is you, you know.
Have I the right to hold you near ?
When nothing else seems so dear !

Have I the right to love you much ?
While my heart aches for your soft touch.
Have I the right to look at you ?
and tell, the things I'd like to do ?

Have I the right to wonder then ?
if by chance I might could win.
But, at last what is the choice ?
When all I want, is to hear your voice !!
