Short Linchpin Poems

I gift this here...

all my days...
...all my tomorrows...

For  you I make this wish...

with loves trust...only you 
may borrow...

...blessed with this one kiss
all consumed...

To retrieve another day...
...to console the greatest love...
...my love my heart resumes...

...Incline to applaud my hearts desire...
this love for you will not retire...

...For you have held my love steadfast
and true...

...This love, this love, in love with you......
