A shopping list

A dozen roses by the door
A special gift left on the floor
A token of a fond amour
To leave your lover

A box of chocolates late at night
A secret message out of sight
A kiss when turning out the light
All for your lover

A hope of love that lasts so long
A heart that bursts with splendid song
A knowledge you can do no wrong
You're with your lover

A life that's lived without despair
A love that grows the more you care
A need more deep than food or air
You have a lover

A dream that this is all there'll be
A truth in everything you see
A single being you and me
I am your lover

In a list

Please tell me what you think

    I likey.

  • To be the lady of your dreams
    And read about your thoughts and schemes
    Everything's not as it seems
    I'm still waiting

    I know you are the sweetest man
    You tell me that you have a plan
    On love you'll never put a ban
    I'm right here waiting

    The roses and the chocs were nice
    Even brandy served on ice
    It's you, I want a bigger slice
    I'm always waiting

    When you stand outside my door
    You and I both know the score
    Just stay for a little more
    No more waiting

      • My Master introduced us one evening, and although I would love to be the object of his affections, the above poem is purely my thoughts.
        No, your name didn't crop up during the evening although we did talk about many things, but the evening was over all to soon.

    Nice. Here's another simple thought you have nailed simply. What more can a reader ask?

    It is the simple things that say the most, and this poem says it all. Simple, elegant, breathtaking and beautiful all in one. There are simply no more words than those.

    So food is never on your shopping list either.lol This was good, my favorite part was:

    A love that grows the more you care
    A need more deep than food or air

    Is there a name for this type of form? Just starting to learn them, or is this made up by you?

      they are called triplets, and are known reasonably well. I adore them and perhaps yuse them more than most people round here, but lots of others do them too.

          everyone loves him
          he wears waistcoats whistles
          kisses your hand when he says hello
          treats you like a lady when you are naked or not
          but pretends he will break the rules
          loves it when we do
          gives everyone a present for christmas and sweets othertimes
          and kisses like a dream but I shouldnt know that
