Female's Felicitous Feedback

If just one man, would just truth tell,
And lead me not to the depths of hell,
It would not take a wealth of things
For me to claim the love he brings.

I don't crave blossoms wrought by rape
Of nature's miraculous landscape,
Nor yearn for frocks from sheep well shorn,
If he delights in ME, what's to adorn?

What point to blanket every measure
Of myself with all HIS treasure?
Appeased I'd be bare on the grass,
Enveloped in his tenderness

For worldly pleasures, I do not aspire,
My heart secures all I desire.
If all I need, this man could give,
I'd be his love and with him live.

He'd harken on my every word,
Divulging emotions once thought absurd,
Through realm of ectasy or sorrow,
Possessing me til the break of 'morrow.

Let sunrise dictate passion's yield,
Revealing all what was once concealed.
If all I need, this man could give,
I'd be his love and with him live.

(Inspired by Shakespeare's V. Live With Me And Be My Love From Sonnets To Sundry Notes Of Music)
