lint,
a crumpled receipt,
meager few coins
clink
on the bedside table,
no pearls,
nor sparkling diamonds,
a castle humble
at best,
no promise of tomorrow
for its
not mine to give,
all i have
to lay at your feet
is me,
my heart
but you don't
ask for more,
you just
love me,
anyway.
tell a story in 55 words. give it a try or just read more, go see g-man.
i hope you all have an amazing new year. thanks for making this last one incredible.

And that's all a girl could ask for too...a guy who loves her no matter what. Excellent 55!
Here's wishing you and the ones you love a fantastic 2010!
Seems like financially that we all have less to give these days! Happy New Year Brian. Some gifts can't be wrapped.
Not a bad piece of love poetry Brian. I wish I could write the stuff myself.
To be LOVED is a treasure beyond ALL treasure!
LOVE is the biggest treasure to give!
Happy New Year :)
Lovely! I think you're destined for the Lovely Man List!
lint and pennies is a start... Happy new Year Brian!
Great story! Happy New Year!!
:)
beautiful. sweet. Happy New Year. Sarah
Absolutely. No promises. But a heart as pure as your love. Honest words.
Best wishes to you and your lovely wife and your wonderful children for a year of excellence.
you're tearing (as in cry) me up. What a sentimentalist you are. The wife is a lucky woman.
Happy New Year Brian. xo
That is beautiful!
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Brian!!
I wish you the best in 2010! *hugs*
No need for diamonds when love is available.
I thinkthat is all any of us really have to give, anything else is just illusion.
Happy New Year and may 2010 be full of wonder and joy for you and yours.
So beautiful! I hope you have a great New Year filled with many blessings.
You don't need me to tell you this is good, but it is.
A healthy and happy new year to you and your loved ones, Brian.

How romantic this is. Well done. :) Hau’oli Makahiki Hou to you and your family my friend :)
Happy New Year!
Nuts in May
fortunate man
fortunate woman
My fave so far! All a women could want:)
A great way to end 2009. Happy New Year, friend!
So long as she didn't get a Dirt Devil for their anniversary. That happened to me..LOL
YOU are a POET!
Awww...but one's heart would be the priceless gift! :)
Ditto Betsy!
To you, I wish
A new healthy, empowering, passionate year.
A year of being heart coherent and heart happy.
I'm making my hubby read this. Very nice beginning to the 2010 55's! Happy New Year :)
How beautiful! Some of the best things in life are free.
Happy New Year Brian!
Smiles!
I have to admit I haven't crossed a blog that keeps me coming back as much as yours. Lovely.
So romantic. I love it Brian.
I like that very much. You make me think of Yeats's "He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven."
oh so modest
as if "just your heart" isn't soooooo much more than sparkling diamonds (pooh they are so overrated anyway :p) etc
I hope you have an awesome 2010!!!
What a fabulous way to start the new year.
Cheer!
Awwwwww...so humble and so raw.
Loved this one.
And don't forget, all she gets is you
(and the lint).
Why would she desire more?
:-}
happy new year. love this one!
i wish my past love would have realized just that...i have nothing to give, but myself...sigh
Happy Belated Ne Year,
everything is perfect in this piece,
compact,
love you for the cool work!
You write with such love. It makes me really glad that people are capable of such simple pleasures that are often made painful unnecessarily.
ha! exactly what I thought lol. This is good, lol man o man!!! so unfair to see my poor work after this :(
This was delicate and sweet...a love tribute that comes from truth. I really liked this piece! ~ Rose
And the problem with this was???? 81 comments later and it's your worst poem? Is it okay to laugh?
I wouldn't call this bad, by any stretch of the imagination. Mine is embarrassing compared to this.
So very cool Brian! Man, I had to take an elevated down the page to leave a comment. What a tribute to the great and appealing poetry you write. Nice piece my friend.
Oh, so lovely!
Loved this!
Margie :)
