I don't have much....
...I don't even have roots.
I don't have car, money, or mansion.
I don't have a desert island,
nor even a cattle ranch.
I don't have horse,
not even a saddle.
I don't have much,
except my heart.
Some would say,
that's not worth much.
Others would say,
its hard and tough.
But, my heart,
cries when your not there.
Cries with tears,
and emotions that care.
If I were wounded in a battle,
shot in the gut,
or if I lost a arm and leg,
my feelings wouldn't change much.
I'm in love.
Since I first laid eyes on you.
That pretty face,
could not tell.
The beauty of your mind,
nor the heaven of your kiss.
How much,
I miss....
A tear escapes my eye,
when I write like this.
A tear not a cry,
a tear of love.

Beautiful
I loved this. There was so much emotion in it. It's beautiful, makes me wish someone felt this way about me. I really liked the lines
"The beauty of your mind,
nor the heaven of your kiss."
They just stood out in this poem.
Thank you so much for entering my contest!

You must have realy been inspired recently. This is beautiful Chuck. Your words flow so beautifully. I know you would often deny you were a poet, but I really do think your work says otherwise. Beautiful!!*hug

Superb Write!
This is such a simple, down-to-earth, beautiful poem!
The photograph you have put up here is unbelievabley so in tune with all you have written here ... you say you do not have much, I see such beauty in the nature that surrounds whoever is in this photograph, the simple things in life are often what bring us the most joy.
No gate on the road leading up to the little cabin ...to me, that just shows the wonderful hospitality that is there,
The windows with little shutters that look as if they will not meet in the middle ... yet again it shows me that there is nothing to hide here, nothing that would be with-held to a weary traveller in need of hospitality.
The branches that partly cover the roof of the little cabin ... show to me that here is a place that would be a crag, a place of concealment from the winds that blow, a sanctuary one would be able to run to from any storms that may come in life.
The light that seems to hover over the whole place ... it seems to be saying this a homestead where love and peace ensue no matter what.
You couldnt have chosen a better photograph to use with your background if you had taken years to find one. The side border to your main background is also in keeping with the theme of your poem and all you say in your write!
Beautiful, and thank you for allowing us to read this.
