My love, I give to you
The greatest gift I have
On this blessed eve
Meant only for you
For now and always

Here my love
Take my gift
Unwrap it slowly
Gently lovingly
Delight in its beauty

I give myself to you
Here and now
From this day forward
No one else shall know
The wonder of me

Share it with me, love
Drink from the cup
Lying before you tonight
Let it quench your thirst
And stir you from within

We shall experience
New heights together
Reaching a plane
Where only lovers go
To play intimate games

Look into my eyes, love
Do you see it there?
The depth of my passion
How I want you near me more
With each passing moment

I give this gift freely to you
Asking nothing in return
Love unconditionally
Pure and simple
I give you my all

Tell me, love
Your innermost feelings
I want to know your dreams
Your desires, your truth
Share it with me

One last gift to you, love
Here, take my heart
I no longer need it
For without you
It will surely die

My heart, my love
Beats for you alone
Tend it, care for it
Listen to it softly whisper
Through the dark night

Did you hear what it said?
I’m sure you did, love
For it professes itself to you
Pledging forevermore
To love only you





All writing comes
by the grace of God.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

That's the most unselfish verse of poetry that I've read in a long time!
The whole poem is so full of beautiful loyalty and devotion!  Wonderful!

When these word stay true every day through a thousand years, I guess love starts to flower.  I felt your poem was strengthening the bonds between Friends.
