a gift to me

So many gifts to bestow unto me
they're all hidden
under a secret tree
never uncovered
until the next time
my true love
sends a gift to me

Until the next time
my true love
sends a gift to me

will it be silver
or gold

will it be diamonds
or coals

Oh what will my love send to me

will it be rubies
or dust

will it be copper
or rust

Oh what will my love send to me

will it be crystals
or plums

will it be secrets
or drums

Oh what will my love send to me

will it be ergot
or lyme

will it be ribbons
or thyme

Oh what will my love send to me

will it be able
or kind

will it be whiskey
or wine

will it be petals
or brine

will it be woolen
or twine

Oh what will my true love send to me

its a song, and you can add to it.

it is so pretty, yet some of the gifts and their contrasts give it that melancholic edge.
awesome!

Lorne Roberts said...

i think every "poem" i write seems to be just that-- the mouse, in the trap, with the bait in its mouth.
