Words Are All I Have To Take Your Heart Away
Words Are All I Have To Take Your Heart Away
by Rick Rucker
I don’t look like a movie star,
Many others are better looking, by far.
I also am not all that tall,
Some might say that I am small.
Youth has left me, won’t return,
But Love’s fires inside me burn.
You will never have to wonder
If, by choosing me, you made a blunder
I will shower you with Love
Always hold you far above
Anything else I care about.
Your praises I will ever shout.
Faithfulness will not be a worry,
And, if I seem to be in a hurry,
I have searched my heart and found
My love for you has no bound
I have tried to think of how to win,
From you, an everlasting grin,
That warms me from my head to feet,
And makes you give me kisses sweet.
I cannot weave a magic spell
Concoct a potion with an evil smell,
Or give you all the kingdom’s jewels,
I fear that I don’t have the tools!
There is only one thing that I have,
It is not a wondrous salve,
It might not be strong enough
To scale the wall around your heart, so tough.
Though I will likely fail
Your fortress I will constantly assail
As long as you will let me try
For, if I had your love, I’d fly!
Soaring way above the serfs below
Bathed in your warming glow
Able to defeat a dragon
Outrun a horse, or lift a wagon!
I could do all of these I feel
If I could but your heart steal.
Now, back to the thing I hold,
Nothing really, were I not bold.
The greatest gift that I can give
Are words to you that live
That surround in a gentle glow
And ever let you know
That from your side, I will never go
Through life we will always go
My words will massage your heart so sweetly
And let you know that I love you, so completely
I hope my words will win your heart
I cannot live if we’re apart
I now await your answer
Doubt attacking me like cancer
Please tell me, will I be proud?
Or exist forever beneath a cloud
Bereft of Love,
Seeing vultures of black above?
