Who I Am - Revised

Who I am - Revised

Who I Am 
I am your prisoner of love 
bound to forgive you. 
I tried to escape 
but still I pursued you. 

Let's take pleasure in our youth 
and the freedom of truth. 
How easily my emotions gush out 
as I learn what love is about. 

And I'm on my knees 
as I beg you please. 
Love me too. 
I am bound to you. 

I have no pride. 
Be my bride. 
Hear my song. 
It's to you I belong. 


A Collaboration by: Collins Cp and Carole Duet

Hi Andrea! I'm glad you liked the poem but the "woman" was not proposing in this poem. The guy was. I was just helping Collins with the poem. However, he informed me that he was not actually ready to propose to the woman he loved but he liked the poem. So, it's "just a poem". lol Carole

Really nice collaboration. The message here of love and longing is strong and the stanzas are seamless between both poets. Nicely done Carole and Collins.
