The Proposal

I gaze upon your beauteous face Hair soft and fair, like delicate lace Heartened by your most beguiling glance Emboldened during this sensual dance I guide you onto the balcony Away from the loud cacophony I reach my hand ‘round your slender waist Clumsily grabbing air in my haste Drawing you near, both our breaths mingling In moments I feel my loins tingling Your charms surpass those of all women I find myself totally smitten Whispering my name with crimson lips You let your hand slide over my hips I tilt your chin to my loving stare Then kiss your lips by my own dare We both unleash unbridled passion Parting lips in similar fashion I want you now and forever more To cherish, love and always adore Say yes my dear and accept this ring And see what joy our marriage will bring
