All I Really Need is You
A Valentine's Day Poem                                                        

All I really need is you.
don't care for sleek and fancy jets
and Italian sport cars,
the hollywood glitterati and movie stars
vacations at world class resorts and spas.

All I really need is you.

I can take or leave sailing to

exotic destinations on luxurious yachts,
cocktails with the jet set and super smart.

All I really need is you.

I have no desire to own a masterpiece

or any other great work of art,

purchased from auction houses bid and sold, exquisite pieces of jewelry
dripping with diamonds and gold.

All I really need is you.

I'm not interested in a chalet

nestled on a Swiss ski resort,
or sailing on a luxury liner
to every foreign port,
that would be my last resort.

All I really need is you.

Soaking up the sun is not my idea of fun,
if truth be told,
the south pacific islands leave me cold,
diving for sunken Caribbean treasures,
i'm not so bold.
For I have my pirate's bounty right here at home,
and I have no need to ever roam.

All I really need is you.

For I Never Seem to Know When to Walk Away

For I never seem to know when to walk away 
And return again some other day.
I always tend to overstay
And never learn to go my way.
Love and life seem funny that way.
For I never seem to know when to walk away.

I try so hard to figure out this mystery in my life
And ways to cease my endless strife.
Let me count the ways
While I pine away my desperate lonely days
Left to recount the error of my ways.
For I never seem to know when to walk away.

I search mind and soul for answers to my questions
My torn broken heart helps to provide me with some great suggestions.
For I never seem to know when to walk away.

Now I have found the answer in my one and only true love
And I'm here to shout, say,
I now have no need to ever walk away
For I'm finally here to stay.
