Simple Wishes, Fulfilled Promises
I never gave you flowers
or sweets and chocolates
nor spared you precious hours
on fairly lavish dates.
I never sang you love songs
or played you my guitar
but promised you the seasons,
the Sun, the Moon, the Stars.
I dared not offer something
I do or don’t possess
if all its worth is passing
like empty promises.
Since I perceived these matters
shall not your heart satiate,
I planned not just for hours
but for a lifelong date.
My pillows prove each morning
where all my nights were spent.
Don’t they smell more assuring
than fragrant flowers’ scent ?
A quarrel close to bursting
each time resolved creates
a flavor far fulfilling
than sweets and chocolates !
No other timeless love song
or fancy guitar strings
enthrall you through the seasons
than music my heart sings;
for shining in abundance
my love always abide
which you reflect with radiance
to budding Stars we guide . . .
or sweets and chocolates
nor spared you precious hours
on fairly lavish dates.
I never sang you love songs
or played you my guitar
but promised you the seasons,
the Sun, the Moon, the Stars.
I dared not offer something
I do or don’t possess
if all its worth is passing
like empty promises.
Since I perceived these matters
shall not your heart satiate,
I planned not just for hours
but for a lifelong date.
My pillows prove each morning
where all my nights were spent.
Don’t they smell more assuring
than fragrant flowers’ scent ?
A quarrel close to bursting
each time resolved creates
a flavor far fulfilling
than sweets and chocolates !
No other timeless love song
or fancy guitar strings
enthrall you through the seasons
than music my heart sings;
for shining in abundance
my love always abide
which you reflect with radiance
to budding Stars we guide . . .
