I Offer Only
I have nothing to offer but my body and heart
Is this enough for; our love to start?
I can’t give you riches like money and pearls
The riches I have, is, my love for one girl.
I could shower you in kisses and poems of love
They would fall upon you; as rain from above.
I would always be faithful; I’d hold our love strong
In my arms you’d feel safe; I’d shelter you from wrong.
You would always be beautiful, even if I were blind
Is this the kind of love you’re hoping to find?
I can be a good lover…. Just give me try
One promise I’ll make; is to you; I won’t lie.
The love that I look for, the love that I need
Is a love that won’t hurt or, make my heart bleed.
A love that’s returned in both body and soul
A love that will last, long after, we’re old.
A love full of kindness, and yes, patience too!
That’s the kind of love, I offer to you.
If this; sounds like the love, you want in your life?
Then, tell me it’s possible; you’d be…this kind of wife.
I’ll cherish you always, above, all other things
When loves in the heart, the soul joyfully sings.
I want a woman who’s passionate, in and out of bed
One sexually aggressive, who can take charge, as well as be led
A lady in public, but my nymph when alone
One who believes, fidelity starts in the home
I want not; just a lover, but a best friend to
Tell me sweet lady, could this be you?
There may be some times, when we’ll disagree
But, if our love is true, we’ll live… happily.

beautiful piece, this is the way love should be. Monetary items have no feeling, just glitz of being but the heart is the true jewel. I see you speak of magick and of wizard. Are you pagen? I have many friends that are pagen and I follow many of their beliefs myself. It's too bad many are ignorant and think pagens are satan worshippers which we all know is not true..
I loved this, great work.. so beautifully expressed and put togather true from a real poets heart im amazed by the beauty of this peice.
