There's No Need There's no need for you to fetch me stars shining bright And I don't desire the moon to cast for me her silver light You don't have to give me jewels or gems with hearts of fire I don't need beautiful words or poems that speak of your desire Please no gifts of gold for precious metals just don't impress I don't want a Cartier watch or a flashy Valantino dress All I want is to take a simple stroll with you across the bay All I need is to wake up in your arms at the start of my day There's no reason for you to give me an angel's soft smile And I don't really need you to tramp for miles and miles You don't have to sprinkle glowing stardust above my head I don't need you to buy me Queen Cleopatra's exotic bed Please no presents of gaudy silks, or flowing satin sheets I don't want a Bentley Rolls, or elegant yachts in fleets All I desire is to feel your heart beating next to mine All I need is to hear your satisfied and happy that's fine There's no need for you to ask the clouds to enfold me And I don't want a rainbow captured for only me to see You don't have to gift me with flowers beautiful and rare I don't need for you to build me a mansion for us to share Please no gifts of soft bears, or my name tattooed in a heart I don't want a ring, or promises that we won't ever part All I need is to hear you say that you truly love only me All I desire is our love to grow it's as simple as it can be Marsha  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 11-26-2000).] |

Mushy~ loved this!! I know, you knew I would, but really, this is beautiful  "All I want is to take a simple stroll with you across the bay All I need is to wake up in your arms at the start of my day" "All I need is to hear you say that you truly love only me All I desire is our love to grow it's as simple as it can be" You write from your heart and show us all how sweet you are! Hugs to you  -SEA |

So, so powerfully said! Love, love, love...the epitome of love for another! Each stanza can stand all alone. heh-heh, feed them one at a time to your sweetheart! My favorite is the first, though! |

Startime, Thank you, I really do thank you, now this is the type of poems I normally write. I'm the mush queen.  Circe, thank you sweet, I do really enjoy seeing your name on my posts. You always say such sweet things, even when I don't deserve them. Take care Mushy  JM, many many times thank you. I'm so pleased you like this one, I actually worked on this. Meaning that this isn't from the magic poet fairy, this is all mine. So thank you. VAS, It is? Actually, mine is the last, but that's because I'm a sucker for rainbows. It's just that I can't fit a rainbow in everything, otherwise I probably would. Thank you very muchly. Marge, just put it down to my weird English ways. It's probably because when the consultants do their rounds the car park is over-run with them. And I have no where to park my little rusty heap. Anyway can you really see me in a Bentley, no neither can I.!! It's a bit like seeing a fish on a bicycle, very out of place. Glad you liked it, and it is isn't it, very mushy, I couldn't stay away for long. Daniel J D, thank you for saying that, I do cherish each reply I really do. I think it's because even now I never expect them to get get any. (Except my fun one's, I can definitely see their appeal.) Take care Mushy Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
