POEMS BY ONE MICAIAH

Love Me Tender

           

I’m fragile,

Delicate and gentle,

And like a glass bird,

You cannot fix me once I get broken.

But I’m trusting you to be kind,

So please, handle me with care,

Love me tender,

Love me mild!

I’m but myself,

Different, unique and special.

My heart is like a puzzle,

The perfect piece is hard to find,

But when it’s all completed,

The whole picture will blow your mind.

Love me tender,

Love me long!

I’m a sweet little thing,

Meek and kind.

And like my name implies “Good heart”,

I’ve got a heart as pure as crystal,

One that flows freely like a river.

So love me tender,

Love me true!

I’m a woman,

A modern lady,

Gracious, steadfast, temperate and hospitable.

And like a goddess,

I’m beauty itself,

My skin; a wonder,

My voice; a melody

Love me tender,

Love me sweet.

I’m sacred feminine, chaste and phenomenal.

And like a diamond,

I’m priceless and rare.

You win my heart,

You have gold itself.

Not an exaggeration or an overstatement,

But truth itself.

So love me tender,

Love me dear.
