Offer me not of pseudo love.

Offer me not of pseudo love

the kind that never lasts.

Like a fancy jewel,

shines brightly

to last only a day.

Like castles in the sand,

magnificent and grand,

but as the gentle waves come,

the mighty castle no longer stands.

Like a burning coal,

ablaze in passion,

as lust consumed,

love charred and burned.

 

For you, I will offer a love that’s pure

no fancies, no flares.

A heart sincere,

no pretence, no schemes.

Compassionate eyes,

no hassles, no demands.

Gentle hands,

no danger, no harm.

A warmth smile,

no need of the sun.

 

This is my bargain

It is yours for the taking!
