I'm worth it...because of you

 

 

I’m worth it…because of you

 

Of worth, I wonder, oh I plead

This man of very simple means

Alone in truth my love does bear

If only you were here with me

 ~

A tiny touch of fingertips

Invokes desire to my glow

A brush against your supple lips

My blood a’ boil, starts to flow

 ~

So tight within your arms I see

My place, the world I long to share

O’ cast of shimmering moon beam

Now shines upon your autumn hair

 ~

Of eyes so dark, intense thy form

In prayers ago, to find me true

Cold winters fierce, I’ll keep you warm

To cry, I’m so in love with you

 ~

So am I worth what I so need

I stand before this evening light

With scars where once my life did bleed

An anguished soul of sorted sight

 ~

To dream in darkness shedding fear

Till death does come to find my day

I’m worth it if your love is near

Within my heart along the way

I like the sentiment.
I did wonder why every stanza had abab rhyme pattern except the first stanza. Maybe this is a device I'm not familiar with.
Still, the thought and the presentation felt meaningful and sincere.

I was going to make it abba, but then I would have been singing "Waterloo" all day. Sheesh David, I didn't catch that and probably didn't even realize what I was doing when I was doing it. Thanks for you always kind comments.

Breathtaking romance in this incredible write, Jack! The last stanza really strummed the strings of my heart....to love someone so completely that anything becomes possible and everything becomes worth it....heavy sigh!

"To dream in darkness shedding fear
Till death does come to find my day
I’m worth it if your love is near
Within my heart along the way"

An elegant love poem with just the right hint of sensuality. Lydi**
