A Wednesday Poem

If I Tell You the Truth

If I tell you the truth, will you take my hand?

Will you confirm your love from where you stand?

This fear in my heart is a double-edged sword.

Do you see how much you’re adored?

This fear in my heart spurs me on.

If I tell you the truth, my love will you don?

Reminiscent of your skin so fair,

Swathing your heart, your soul, in a love so rare?

Forever in my heart, you will always be.

Your heart and mine entwined with glee.

If I tell you the truth, your love I request.

For me, my love, you are the one . . . the best.

Remarkable love you have and give . . .

Without your love, I cannot live.

My darling love, my heart you adorn.

If I tell you the truth, your love I implore.
