Genuine Love and Passion

I need no diamond I want no pearls for you I'd abandon the most valuable jewels give me companionship tenderness and compassion enhance our relationship with romance and passion do not speak any words that are empty do not seek to merely placate me I need what is true not what sounds good I want only you how I wish you understood take no action that isn't from your heart if there is no passion don't even bother to start just give me your love let me give you mine that's all I dream of simple and divine

I love this. I too have always wanted all relationships to be 'authentic' and your poem speaks to my need. This write is lovely and all those who may not understand what it expresses, may not be those we could love, huh? Again, I relate to this and applaud the poem ... CayCay

I'm not going to lie, this was a hard one to read, not because of how it is written, your feeling are expressed perfectly, but because of the message or theme. To make someone happy and feel loved is not that hard and it shouldn't be. Every relationships needs a little give and take and when the take outweighs the give, then that is sad.
