The Proposal

notapoet

How can I speak

Or praise your greatness

When your very presence

Takes my breath away

 

How can I behold your loveliness

Or gaze upon your wonder

When your divine beauty

Blinds my adoring eyes

 

How can I caress your elegant form

When the very touch of your soft skin

Sparks a flame within my soul

And burns like a wildfire throughout my body

 

How can I impart to you

The very essence of my emotions

When just the thought of you

Paralyzes my senses and leaves my body weak,

And my mind reeling with images of your grandeur

 

Slave to your beauty

And a prisoner to my own weaknesses,

I find myself lost in this realm

Of obscurity and helplessness,

Afraid that you may never know my true feelings

 

Therefore,

As a final attempt to show my heart

I offer you my hand

 

Hoping that you may take it into yours

And I can lead you down the aisle

Towards a new life together

As husband and wife
