All the trappings
All the stuff
All the wrappings
All the fluff
All the gadgets
All the things
All the widgets
All the blings
All the pleasures
All the funk
All the treasures
All the junk
All the sweetness
All the prose
All the neatness
All the bows
All the goodies
All the treats
All the music
All the beats
All the starkness
All the sight
All the darkness
All the light
All of that
I'd throw away
All I want
Is you to stay
It doesn't get better than that!
ReplyDeleteaww - this is so beautifully expressed - i bet she stayed...
ReplyDeleteThe problem is everything else is retained. Finer feelings are cast aside...
ReplyDeleteYou romantical dog, you.
ReplyDeleteYes this is nice, and the rhyme too
ReplyDelete"All I want is you to stay"
You search her eyes
ReplyDeleteAs your own weep
You'd give up all
Her love to keep.
All worldly possessions
You'd cast away
If one simple word
You could hear her say
The deep love in your heart
You do confess
And ask her to be yours
And she says yes.
A little gift from me, marantha jenelle, to a fellow poet with a lot of talent.
heaven bless,

Nicely done. I hope she agreed to stay after promising to give up everything.
ReplyDeleteI have to take this from your bumper sticker "Bubba Knows" everything goes but you have to stay.
ReplyDeleteNice fire up the romance!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet...
ReplyDeleteAwwwwww. So sweet. Lucky, whoever she is.
ReplyDeleteOh I so love this!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTouching and Beautiful
ReplyDeleteI love this, endearing and sweet~ Very touching!
ReplyDeleteRomantic in its forthright approach...my own husband has said much the same to me, though not quite so poetically! Great poem...:)
