Party-face comes midnight creeping,
Proposing passion—piles heaping.
To boudoir—lustfully leaping,
Next I know—serenely sleeping....

Dancing In The Rain

The poetess’s dance
in the rain lightens my heart
I hear her footsteps
echoing overture words
proposing matrimony....

Proposing pure penalties
Rambling rancorous reveals
Opining odd occasions
Pitching putrid penance
Heralding heinous happenings
Evoking erroneous events
Teaching terrific tautology...

Rehearsal of Role Reversal

What he really did resulted in a role reversal,
We had remembered after another rehearsal;
After around nosing,
Started proposing,
A poor performance ending in crowd dispersal.

                       problems
                  knotty, stressful
       resolving, tackling, diagnosing
conundrums, complexities, result, ideas
     proposing, brainstorming, solving
                      solutions

I write you this poem
Painting the scenery
Wordage from emotions
Pictures inked in me

I rest on bended knee
Proposing how I feel
Becoming another self
Revealing inner peel

We grow to be raisins
Turning ever sweeter
A dream as real as us
Awakening beside her...

There's Just One Thing

My boyfriend was proposing on one knee
but it became a huge catastrophe
while offering the ring
he said, "There's just one thing,
Promise you'll never call my 'friend', Pee Wee."

French King Louis XVI placed his love bet
On teenage queen Marie Antoinette
Sadly, it is said, though she deserted his bed 
For frivolous Marie, Louis lost his head.

Of Louis’ sweet Marie, it is our take
She was a desserter who truly loved cake
For proposing cake for peasants who lacked bread
Queen Marie left a guillotine minus her head...

I love you more;
I love you less;
I love you with every breath;
I hold your hand;
You'll understand;
On my knee, I am;
Proposing to be your husband;
As I hold still your hand;
Would you do me the honor...
Could you be "My Wife"

     and MARRY ME

The spring
arrived in town
with her face washed,
with her flowery vestments
and her a child's heart...
Now in the spring city,
you breathe the country air.
In the city now who's in charge
are the airy butterflies,
visiting all houses
.proposing tenderness...
 The birds singing
are heard in the four corners
in enchanted corals
sprouting blissfulness...!...

a tip of the hat 
a polite nod
a hail caesar
a handshake
a slouch
a tugging of the forelock
a proposing of a toast
a salutation sandwich
a salaam
a bow
a cheek-to-cheek contact
a kiss on the bugle
a kowtow 
a wave
a voicemail
a whatsapp 
a geachte heer followed by a comma
a prayer 

it's all very gracious and well mannered
but for god's sake get the swatter...

                              marriage
                         bond, prenuptial
          solemnizing, proposing, marrying
matrimony, relationship, break-up, dissolution
              dissolving, exiting, departing
                      broken, contentious
                                divorce

     She fell into his arms, so sweet
     He swept her off her glass-slippered feet
        But you’ve heard all this before

     They climbed into a golden carriage
     Where he took her hand, proposing marriage
        But you’ve heard all this before

     Kissing madly, their quivering lips so wet
     They rode off into the summer sunset  
        ~ Scalding their tushies to ash

Just in woe today
When their shoulders
Fail yesterday's wedding attire
Their legs spurn Italian sneakers
& their Rolex wrist now wear bands.

That's when a pulseless Will 
To author books on their troubles
Poem lines about their tested feelings
Quote words about their woes
Rise from long exile

Once we free them from the shackles
The Will to wield the pen face death
In our proposing freedom

The creative juices are flowing
so, why cant I keep going
I'm starting to lose sleep
this crap is getting deep
The ideas are slowly growing
but, they're not overflowing
These things are not unique
they are losing their mystique 
So, what I'm proposing
is to start composing
Now I must critique 
words that are oblique
and defiantly code in
things that are imposing
Then, use a technique 
that helps me to peak
by just juxtaposing 
things that are engrossing...

Bro, am meeting a guy regularly
He is generous
Admirable and
Not only that
Understanding and caring too 

Smart and genuine 
Interesting character
Very honest and humble
Aspiring and inspiring  

Kindness is what he was synthesized of 
Richness is in his heart 
I think even I love him 
Shyness stopped me from proposing him till now
Hope you'll accept our love
Never he would leave me alone, its my certitude
And, and and his name is the first letter of each line...

Like a precious shell,
Out of the million,
Are you to me.
Of all the women,
Out of the umpteen,
You are the best.
My one precious stone,
I shall treassure you,
Like my precious shell,
I shall cherish you.

Nobody wrote a letter to God,
Proposing of where to be born,
By who and to what people.
The things that you've done me,
Have made me believe i wrote one,
And i chose one like no other.
If i were to be reborn,
I would still choose you;
I would always choose you....
