True Love's Embrace

The snowflakes falling through the air Were leaving sparkles on her hair The moon shone down, she moved with grace But all he could see was her angel face They strolled along, side by side Down a white powdery path, he held her hand with pride This beautiful girl he loved so dear Was just one more reason for his Christmas cheer There were so many things we wanted to say But her angel smile always got in the way It was beautiful, sparkling, dazzling and bright And his heart overflowed on this Christmas night Then there with the moon shining down from above He got down on one knee and promised his love She answered with a smile and tears on her face With a dream of tomorrow and true love's embrace

Excellent rhymes and a fair flow. I had a great time reading this poem because it seems so real. The descriptions are very good and give it a vibrancy that I rarely see in poetry. I think you should write a lot more poems! :)
