Truth (2012) - a poem


I ask for no gestures of grandeur,

Nor declarations of love undying.

I want no proof of your heart’s desire,

Only that you stop the lying.

 

I need no gifts of silver or gold,

Nor bouquets of many hues.

I only ask that you speak truly,

And my trust you do not abuse.

 

I desire no letters of lover’s words,

Nor to hear your voice each day.

I only wish those soft tones of yours,

Are true in what they say.

 

I do not care if you have flaws unseen,

Or a complicated past.

I only pray you are true to me,

So this romance can last.
