May I Have This Dance

In the moonlight, may I have this dance? Take your hand in Lover's motion For 'tis better to have this rigid Romance Than drown myself in the Ocean...

This is a very sweet and loving poem. Short but with a lot of emotion and feeling. Nice job my friend

Hi, Robin, The reader's interpretations are so interesting to me. It's really supposed to mean that these two people are in a bad marriage/relationship, but the person speaking is saying that it's better to have this "rigid romance" than the alternative of dying, or even having no relationship at all. Thanks for the review :)
