I’ve held my piece long enough
No pun intended here
Someone has caught my fancy
It’s one of you, I fear.

No words have I yet spoken
Pledging to you my heart
No verses yet are written
I knew not where to start

But as the time of spring
Draws longer into the day
My passion for you grows
And I just have to say

Deep within my heart
Your tender smiles reside
And now that I am bolder
No longer can I hide

I ask not for your love
In reply to my little rhyme
But if you could, please,
Take a bit of time

Think hard upon my plight
Give pause at end of day
“I love you too” is all
I wish to hear you say

Only one reply I seek
But I know it will not be
For of this love you are immune
And cannot, sir, love me.

This is one of those trick poems I've heard about, huh?

Well PDV you've got me on this one........you want to be loved and to be able to hear the words spoken yet you don't want a reply.....you are portraying your desires in the most ellusive fashion!
Good stuff!

I'm sorry, friend, if your affection's
Given to Toerag
For I don't need the competion
And will be a nag!

But if another's claimed your heart
I'll say a prayer for you
He could not find a finer fate
Than your love so true.

I liked this very much, PDV... How we'd all love to hear those words! *S*

PDV,
Whom can it be?
It's a mystery to me.
Delightful poem,
