Love me not
For my words of passion sweet
Others choose words as such
Letters combined randomly
And vain are words
When compared to reality

Love me not
For my looks of passing youth
Others have more beauty
Still longer keep, this is true
And all looks fade
There is no greater truth

Love me not
For money that might seem much
Others have their own horde
Their own treasure as such
And coins change hands
But can never hold, nor touch

Love me not
For habit’s sake feel must do
Others been down that road
Holding onto past that flew
Just love only
Because I only love you

Chalmette Guy - if she didn't know about your feelings before, she will when she reads this writing...

Thank you Bill, although it wasn't written for anyone.


And Lady...thank you, but no, I am not.

A romantic realist maybe?  Even if you are difficult to catorgorize - I like the poem.

Simple truths often overlooked, but never-the-less powerful cornerstones in life.  Somber touches of insight here, but the kind that make radiant room for the heart.

Well said.  ~KL

A "romantic realist" lol

I like that. Can I use that?  Or is that copyrighted?

Thank you Ms. Lassy.
You always brighten my day amongst the gloom.
And for that, I am forever in your debt.
