Keep Me Near To Your Heart Poem by Peter S. Quinn

Keep me near to your heart
From the very first start,
I will never disappear
For you are to me so dear;
Let me sparkle my love
Like the twinkling stars above,
You are my innermost part
Arousing feelings light and swart.

Everything you do or say
Is like beginning of a stairway,
To my soul that feels and touch
For I love you so much;
Like the clouds need the air
I do so need our affair,
Like the sun comes to the day
I can't keep you away.

Keep me near oh my darling,
You are sweeter than spring;
Keep me close - always near,
So I can your heartbeat hear.
