Send me not roses
Carafes of wine.
Send me your words
Of love divine.
Send me not jewels
Encased in gold.
Send me your words
My heart will hold.
Send me not silver
In purple so plush.
Send me your words
Oh, make my face flush.
|
Send me not silks
Of shimmering dyes.
Send me your words
Bring tears to my eyes.
Send me not song
I sleep close to death.
But send me your words
For my very last breath.
