To have to hold
To possess
To say this one is
Mine and no one else

Stu is spot on Martin, it packs a psychological punch and has a healthy cynicism which I always enjoy. A clever and subtle idea.

i like this a lot martin. its almost a simple vow but it becomes slightly sinister with hints of ownership and jealousy. it rewards repeatedly reading and the title gives it an extra layer of intrigue. the fact that it almost mirrors a traditional vow makes it very easy to read but i sense all is not what it seems and i like that. packs a good punch in a few lines as well. very enjoyable.

Thanks Guys
This was one of those spur of the moment poems which caught me by surprise. I often felt that we are all too easily seduced into buying 'things' that we really don't need.
