The Proposal


Soft as a whispered song
He speaks of love

His voice trembles
Knowing the importance
Of the words
The words of their tomorrows
Mingled softly
With the tender touch
Of her hand

She listens
She hears no other
His voice
And only his voice
The epicenter
Of the universe
She loves

His passion
His perfection
Makes her whole

Her entire being
Tenses
Her senses
On fire with expectation
Await his song

And then his words
Echoing the mystery of life
Makes her complete

She quivers with lust
Her body trembles
Her mind
Euphoric in ecstasy
Touches his soul

The gaze of her eyes
Into his
Grows into stardust
Yearning for generations
Of his tomorrows

Her hand
Held tightly in his
Tenses with touch

He puts the ring on her finger
She answers.....yes
