You Love It!

Rate: 8 Flag

I would be perfect

if I produced green

in a quantity acceptable

how much, how much would be enough?

if only I could grow this stuff you love

printed paper in God's name

tell me how much would satisfy

you

judge me by my worth

worthy I am

by my account

I am not measuring

to your standard

I am not good enough

because I do not have

what it takes

to buy

your love

not enough

in counting this sum

of me

is never enough

for you

Gees, and I thought you said you'd never been married.
Cap'n -- ha, ha...has nothing to do with marriage or a romantic love relationship except that the person this poetry is directed toward sure helped turn me off to marriage... you alway make me laugh or think!!
Sounds like you know my estranged husband. I did not have what it took to buy his love, something he realized after the wedding.
At least I am not alone. Great poem,
sounds like tons of people in Los Angeles. Highly rated.
It's never about how much you make, rather it's always about how much iron you can move.
Grand strong writing.
Rated.
RomanticPoetess - a romantic poet should be with a man who loves HER, her interior being...but then I don't have to tell you that, you already know.

Poppi - thanks! I wrote it on wine subdued rage...

Fernsy - not surprised that there are lots of LA people in that mode. Glad I live in the Maine sticks and the person that inspired this poem is many many miles away in another state...one phone call is all it still takes though...

Scylla - people like you know what is truly important...love is eternal...we have to keep remembering that...and those we love are always with us in spirit, heart and love.
I liked this poem and can feel the pain.
Money can make or break some relationships.
ain't it the truth Mary!
hugs from OZ:)
Just don't laugh and think at the same time. It can cause an aneurysm.
