I give you my heart,
the centre piece to my body,
without which
nothing else could function,
I give you my hand,
a firm grip to hold you
in the bad times,
a soft touch to bond
with you in the good times,
I give you my ears,
things that will listen
to everything you tell them
whether whispered or cried,
I give you my eyes,
in the hope you will see
how beautiful you are to me,
I give you my lips,
to utter soft words
to comfort,
and give soft kisses
to please,
I give you my soul,
the very essence of me,
and ask you to look after it.
For you see it has been yours
for a long time now,
and shall remain yours
for aslong as you want it.
Because I love you,
I need nothing back,
because when you love someone
you give them all you are,
and expect nothing in return

Wow andrew-evans,
what a beautiful poetic piece to write, to your
loved one. Did you show it to them? If you didn't,
you should, I am sure they would love it.
Really enjoyed this.
Jenny.

Extremely beautiful Andrew, I hope you do show the person who this is intended, like Jennifer says I'm sure they would love it too. Well done, this is, in my opinion, a very well put together and thought out poem with very effective imagery.
Beeme xx

Thank you both, I did indeed show my girlfriend this poem and she loved it, I often feel guilty about putting this kind of thing on here because I feel it means slightly less to her when she reads it, but she assures me otherwise. Thank you Beeme, I too felt this one of my better organized pieces.
