I love you

 

Not on distant stars

in velvet skies

of which dreamers recite

and poets write

Nor painted on rainbows

in bright colors and hue

or pearled in deep oceans

of mysterious currents blue.

Not emblazoned with saffron on virgin silk,

nor is it signed with royal ink

I’m a simple man 

with a simple life

 

No, 

no,

my love is real

my love’s for life

my love is true

 

On the walls of my heart

you'll find engraved 

"I love you"

. you're right ... love is beautiful ... and it's forever ... it doesn't need locking and unlocking ... it just is ...

[Ed Hart]

somewhere along the line i stopped trying to guarantee tomorrow with my oaths, and concentrated on making sure my heart is swept clean of debris every day

Beautiful rhyme in a wonderful love song. Excellent. ~Pamela

[Dani California]

This is perfect in every way. No parades or neon lights -- it just is what it is -- LOVE. Nuff said.

Beautifully written!

Oh my gosh, this is so tender and touching. Sometimes we take the simplicity out of love by making it more complicated than it needs to be. This is truly a beautiful work. For someone who's first language is not English, you have a great grasp of the words. Kuddos!
