Be My Wife

I have seen you close I have seen you from afar

A smile that lights up all around as if you are a star

How I longed that you be mine to forever be by my side

Being the star you to me always to goodness guide

Would that I be able to always bring you joy

I will kill the bull and the fly if it you annoy

But somehow  I know if you want more than that

I fear my failings are exposed at a drop of a hat

How ever can I expect that you accept me, a lowly peasant

Never would I want that my beloved must me resent

And so I shy away and dream only of a blissful life

With full knowledge that you are the only to be my wife.

Dear Truth

Dear Truth,
I notice how everyone keenly your friendship does claim
As if you ought not run through every vein
They realise not that you like blood do flow
Stories, their words are new which you already know
Thought out with precision misleading the one who hears
Enough to bring every honest person to absolute tears
Reminded I am always for patience with their lies
Like hot air their words to the sky rise
All that remains is the one friend called truth
Refreshing as always as if it's our eternal youth
Embracing you as you are part of my being
Your importance has made me wealthier than a king
