Firmly Fixed

.

   So bashful my soon to be wife

   She places her fingers into my
 hand as I help her down from the
                    surrey

    Her eyes firmly fixed to mine
                she smiles
               and curtsies

                Arm in arm
I lead my petite princess to an arbor
     adorned with flowering vines
      and a bevy of meadowlarks

           Resting on my knee
            I ask for her hand
     my lips kiss her soft fingers
   and I speak in romantic verse

      I ask forever to share life
   and her moist kisses at night

 Magically my bashful little flower
 my timid princess spoke with jest
            to shift the fright
     and down her soft cheeks 
             tears crystalline
      from her brown eyes fell

           With gesticulation
          and her hair flowing
    whilst she gracefully danced 
                  I heard 
                  "yesss"
