Goddess

i know you've been hurt before;
neglected and used
isn't losing yourself
the worst form of abuse?

love, let me be your devotee
let me shelter you, until you see
how beautiful, wonderful,
simply perfect you are--
oh love, let me give you my heart

i'll give you all that i've got;
more than riches and wealth
all my devotion and love,
for you i'd lay down my life

oh love, can't you see?
you're a goddess to me

Hi Brenda. This poem is very much a personal write. it comes from deep inside you and spills onto the page just as you think!!! To want to give the best of yourself is surely the most beautiful offering of love and you have given a wonderful sense of that gesture. Love this!!! alf

Anyone would be truly lucky to have such devotion and art dedicated to them, very well written and flowed perfectly.

This gets a big thumbs up from me Brenda. the first stanza is the strongest in my opinion, with its undeniable logic, the second the stronegst in terms of romance - breathtaking
the third I would swap with the second.
- the exclamation "oh love..." in the final stanza just screams desire and impulse to me.
Fine writing Brenda
Thanks for sharing this one
