All I Ask

Artwork by Green Greenwald "Annabelle"

The gold lamé of life

is often stolen or imitated

The same can not be said of love

You can’t defraud me out of my honest emotions

My love is yours

I want to give it to you freely

so you may glide on it - -like figure skating on freshly zambonied ice

 

Don’t you see?

Aphrodisiacs do not fit in ribboned gift boxes

Moonstruck moans of passion are not found

on Track 2 of the newest CD

Champagne will not quench the thirst I carry in my heart

 

My love trembles in unwritten memoirs

but it is always meant for you

All I ask is for you to accept it

The feelings are priceless, no material comforts can be traded for those feelings. Nothing can replace the touch or the presence of a loved one, so ĺet love take its course. The second verse touched deep chords within me. The poem in itself is awesome. Much appreciated ❤

[Lydia Shutter]

So glad you could relate to the words, Divya. Thank you very much for your review. Lydi**

[AYVID N]

It is a pleasure all mine. You are most welcome Lydi...🌹

[Cassie]

i felt a tinge of pain here, this is rejection where you love some one and that person never sees it or accepts it.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you, my friend. Lydi**

[Bacchus]

can't defraud me
freshly zambonied

what a gift this is- I hope it was accepted.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you so much, Bacchus. Most of my romantic/sensual writes are fantasy. I have been happily married for over 40 years! Great new photo of you! Lydi**

[Patricia Wedel]

Lydi, the art is awesome...

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you for noticing it, Pat! Lydi**

"The gold 'lament' of life"...
a beautiful tribute to love...
The smoothness of love gliding
on moonlight beams of ice...
I know that "Prince" the 'artist' would
love these lyrics. I can hear his gentle
voice in your poem. truly, Pat

[Lydia Shutter]

It's such a tragedy he is gone. So young and such a great talent. Thank you for your lovely review. Lydi**

[Patricia Wedel]

My pleasure...

[Carolynn]

What a beautiful poem of love that can't be tainted or changed....so uplifting to read! :)

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you very much, Carolynn. Lydi**

[Norman 223]

As you have shown in this gentle poem, Lydi, there are many artificial "declarations" of love, which are stylised,anonymous , and therefore meaningless. A declaration from the heart can say more in three words , or, as you state, simply as a memory.

wow...honest love...can't buy it in a store, or on-line...there is no price for true affection...it is given freely, openly, no catch, no strings attach...no warranty needed...just as is, and runs forever like a great old car...that keeps renewing itself....

damn nice piece here.

[Shabeeh Haider]

Love cannot be replaced and love does not come with a price tag. I like the thought" I want to give it to you freely
so you may glide on it - -like figure skating on freshly zambonied ice"
A very apt conclusion: All I ask is for you to accept it

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you so much, Shabeeh. I appreciate your review. Lydi**
