On One Knee

Listen to poem:
if you wanted to dance with me i mean really wanted to dance with me then i would i would dance with you if you needed me to walk on water i would stand there until the lake froze then i would i would walk on water for you if you suggested i climb a mountain warm at the bottom freezing at the peak i'd buy you a snow globe turn it upside down and up hold your hand warm watch the freezing snowfall climb your suggestion creatively if you mentioned you'd like me to paint your portrait i'd buy every different colour of acrylic paint I could find blend them on a canvas paint your colourful internal portrait every crayon in the box that's who i see if you said move me i wouldn't hire a truck or even touch one stick of furniture i would write this poem for you put a bow on it fingers crossed i would move you your lips are always on my mind if you want a man willing to do... ...a man... ...hold you gentle but firm i'm here ring in hand on one knee November 28 2016

Hi Armand, another excellent write from your hand. One reads spellbound from the first word to the last. So simple the words flow and yet so strong the feelings they show upon the page. Once again your write does make me feel peace but also love, love for my own lady. You hold your readers imagination from beginning to the end of each peace you write. This piece is such a gentle slice of love my friend. This has to be a seven and a fave. Your Friend always....Mike.

Good Morning Maurice. Have a seat please and let me ramble for a moment. My goodness. I love love love this. As someone who believes in love and believes in romance entries to be shared by two special people this entry is beyond beautiful and marvelous. I see perfection in every way. All poetic elements are attached including the emotive factor which shines. The feeling and emotion are executed marvelously. I can go on but I will spare you. Well done completely and entirely. Excellent. PS perfect with the title also.

What an ending, Maurice....delicious. I loved the stanza about holding gently...but firmly...it's a wonderful man who can do both. Loved this piece. Thanks for your recent visits to my work and your words of comfort on the passing away of my Uncle. It was much appreciated.
