You'd never lose me to another man
Loving you forever is my life's plan
No need to fret, my glance won't stray
Commitment's made - that's not my way
Some other voice won't make me yearn
Another's touch won't blaze and burn
The soul of me lies at your feet
Only with you am I complete
But go I will, for so I must
Though dreams be ground up into dust
If all your hopes and every thought
Through wake or sleep, another's sought
I ask not much but humbly plead
Spare not the love I do so need
But if your heart hasn't some room
For me, then I accept my doom
You'll never lose me, but you must know
You have the power to make me go.

Oh yes...I know this one...

Beautifully expressed, Ruth...

love of power the world will know peace.

I think I'm falling in love with you--well, if you were a man that is! lol --and a man, you definitely are not!

This poem is full of love, devotion, yearning, longing, hoping, dreaming, caring, honesty, openess, passion and with a tinge of sadness... and I think I just felt all of the above with you.

What an emotive write!

Love & Light,
Linda

===============================

Well...  all I have to say is this is classic Ruth poetry...heart on sleeve and  faithful as the sun. Me thinks its the only way moths know how to love.

~~~~~~~~~

You'll never lose me, but you must know
You have the power to make me go.

=====================================
NOPE---
Not even then......
not in spirit, heart and soul.

( which is a poetic way to say we will haunt them forever) LOL

devotion wrapped in rhymes divine Ruthie-girl.

know what you're listening to ... is me missing you."

JM: ROFL @ Nope... you may know me just a tad too well. LOL The body might hit the road... but the heart would certainly stay behind... wanted or not.  *S*

Thank you, ma'am... I know how limited your time is these days... I appreciate the read. *S*

Ruth, I know exactly how you feel. Once we give our hearts away, they're gone. That's just how it is with people like us....I know!! And, you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way, no matter what some folks say. Right?

Love this, sweet friend.
