Short and sweet love quotes and poems from the heart, to help you build your castle in the air

Tell me that I'm beautiful
I'll whisper that you're wise
Then we will go another round
With innocent white lies.
Tell me Venus pales beside
The smoothness of my cheek
Tell me that fair Helen
Doesn't rise to my mystique.
I aver you are Adonis
Running fingers through your hair
And never, ever, notice
That it's thinning here and there.
I'll tell you that your eyes command
The tides within my soul
You swear to me my happiness
Is now your only goal

Stretch the strands of truth with me,
Our private Shangri-la
Is an island swathed in mist
And not a court of law.
Outside the door, reality
Assaults us every way
At home, our evening castle
Will attenuate the day.
And when we're old and withered
I will see through lover's eyes
The beauty of your spirit
Which mere time cannot disguise.
Gild the lily, paint the rose
Strain all credulity
Let's build our castle in the air
Then live there blissfully.
