Treasure This, My Love Poem by John Parsons

Treasure this, my love
It is for you. A fine gift
Of my devotion.

It is not cash
Or diamonds or
Any vain-thing else.

It is a message
In Shakespearen style:
Poems. Paintings of words

Just for you, World.
Read the letter
And think it over.

And maybe you'll
Realize that Every Day
Of your life shouldn't

Be a conformation,
But a beautiful, breathing, liberating,
Revolution.
