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 And love only Because I love only you |

Hi there.  This is a wonderful poem. Love is overcomplicated sometimes isn't it? |

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 habit’s sake feel must do Others been down that road Holding onto past that flew And love only Because I love only you ------------------- *SIGH* somethings dont require words... stalking you in silence, your jm Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |

This is warm, and sincere...It's true, that sometimes we "love" for all the wrong reasons. I like how you always end your poems with such a powerful punch - very nice! Another beautiful rhyme from you... |
