By My Side
Oh I'd throw the finest times away
and the fortune that came my way
to have you here by my side.
And I'd give all the wealth I've brought along
to the singer of a song
that could put you by my side.
I can't say why or what it is
that makes me crazy for your love,
you don't even know my name.
Yet I know if you were here
and we could share our love
all my wishes would be explained.
Oh I'd build a road to alter destiny
there'd be no rest for me
till I could be by your side.
And I'd ship my special treasures to the distant moon
just to be in a room
with you by my side.
I don't know why my worried cares
have kept me from your door
because you've always been the same
but I know if I had no fear
I'd ask for love and nothing more
but I'm afraid my words would be in vain.
And I know lovers bring out sunshine
and moonlight brings romance
and each day brings love tomorrow
to those that take a chance.
Yet I wish I could bring out a way
to tell you what I have to say,
I wish I could kill this foolish pride.
Oh yes I wish in a very special way
I could have you here by my side.
beautiful
i loved it
Oh that was nicely put. I love the way it is written. Crushes can sometime crush you inside when you don't act on them. Afraid that you won't be let in. Crushed more if you act and are not let in. So do you take the chance to reveal or not? Which will hurt more? Great poem!
Oh, there is nothing more beautiful than the words of a true romantic. Beautiful!!!! Amy

Oh, how I loved this poem, Eric! Very mysterious and wondrous. Well-written (as all of your writings are) and soulful (as all of your work is) I enjoy your spirit and literature so much here. This one is absolutely beautiful! Sometimes it is someone that doesn't even really know us that we are drawn to. Unexplainably so. I know the feeling, and I know others will also relate to this. Very neat poem!!
