Dear David, I do not deserve your love;
I’ve put you through so much, it’s so unfair.
I know at times it seems I do not care,
but, you’re my one and only turtle dove.
My Dear Sweet David, how I love you so,
I love to hold you oh so tenderly,
but guilt and pain behind the mask of me,
Makes me feel I am your greatest foe!
I wonder often if you feel the same;
If only I could see your heart like mine!
Perhaps, you’d let me peek, if so inclined…
Don’t worry, I’d be gentle- Oh so tame.
If we could see into each other’s souls,
All guilt and shame I know it’d overthrow.
Please tell me what you think

Wow! That David must be lucky for having such honest, heart warming love as depicted in the poem. Even Zeus would be jealous for many claims a love that's true, but in the end they just bring nothing but blue.

This adorable! sweet expression of genuine love... a simple yet very effective piece of writing that comes across as effortless. I love the line: "if we could see into each other's souls" there is a longing in those words that reaches right to the heart of your reader.
Well done!

simple- oh my- do you know how much effort it took for me to make sure my meter and rhyme was right on this, lol- I wish poetry came 'simple' for me.

Duana,
I did not mean you had written a simple poem meaning it was effortless.
I meant the simplicity and purity of your expression of love really shone through.
I have never been very good at expressing myself, I am so very sorry if I have upset you Duana, because of how I worded my comment on your poem.
I would not do that for the world
It is obvious you have put much work into your poem and I have great respect for your work and the zeal you put into what you write. I remember being in your class trying to learn about meter, you helped me so much through that class work, I shall always be grateful, again I am sorry my comment upset you, it wasn't meant to demean your effort in any way.

Drat I would have given you five stars but your comment is too short, lol.

delightful- I like that word to describe this poem. You are right- it describes it much better than the word cliche. I knew cliche wasn't really what it was. Delightful is definitely it. Thanks. Duana
