What She Really Wants Poem by Carolyn Brunelle

Not just rings and things
or diamonds and pearls;
all she ever really wants
is your love for the girl.

A love beyond the tangible
to be placed on her hand;
one to open and free her heart
and take a lifetime to understand.

A spirit's journey
as much as mortal;
one able to carve
and shape its own portals.

A love and a bond
to last beyond youth,
one strong enough to hold to
when you are long in the tooth;
fulfill all the promises
that two lovers made
and embody all the words
any poet has ever said.
