Love In Candlelight

The candle slowly flickers.
Her eyes, sparkle in the light!
We can feel the passion, in the room,
on this most exciting night!

We whisper to each other,
even though we're all alone!
The words we speak, are words of love,
in a soft, romantic tone!

I hand to her, a small bouquet,
and pledge her, my devotion!
She tells me that, she loves me too,
with deep, sincere emotion!

I gently, take her hand in mine.
I place a gift, into her palm!
A little box, of velvet blue!
It's a struggle, to stay calm!

She slowly, opens up the box.
There's blushing, in her cheeks!
While, she gazes at the diamond,
I then begin to speak!

"My darling, will you be my wife"?
I ask, in anticipation!
She threw her arms, around my neck!
"I Will, I Will" she then replies, with joyful adulation!

Ralph, my computer has gone haywire tonight. That's why there are two responses below here. MY computer made it look like the first time did not go through. I am getting so frustrated. I think it is actually MY computer being bad right now, and not soup!!
