Love Poem: Sway Me Not

Sway Me Not

Pray, sway me not with 

frivolous things that do not 

pour from thine own heart. 

Baubles, ribbons and candies 

Say not of love, but desire 

Give to me your love 

So soft, poured within my ears 

Words you dare not say 

would sound as dear from a pig 

If the swine held true his love 

Possessions I have 

They mean very little when 

held against your pledge 

So my sweet, a love so rare 

may capture my heart and hand
