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
