The Proposal

Our jubilation doth transpire ten-fold
Accepted passion from my lover’s breath
Tantalizing the heart, with love untold
Benevolent guidance pending our death

Elation encompassed within one’s heart
Magical light shine down from up above
What God has joined let no one tear apart
Combating man’s loneliness, lasting love

Gregarious in time, I reach for you
Conscripted parallel by legends hand
Endowed with such beauty my heart, stay true
Spectacular joy with a golden band

My heart is now yours for all of my life
Please accept this ring and become my wife

Written with yet another angle of your pen, Mark. This one dipped in passionate red ink, and beautifully expressed.

Stop degrading your romantic words. None of them are goofy.
