] Date Posted: 05:58:48 02/02/08 Sat  Tell Me, Crystal Ball Tell me, Crystal Ball, I have been asked to marry. Tell me now, before he wakes at dusk. Should I say~ Yes ~ He hardly knows me yet he wants me for his bride. He asks me now to stay with him to make our home together and this our marriage bed. I have never known another to compare nor has my heart ever leapt inside my breast as it does now. The sight of him the scent of him those eyes that penetrate my soul! I am caught by love! Love . . . a rhapsody unfolding. I am drawn to him like the dove is to the sky. I yearn for his kiss and his touch. Consumed in his embrace my breath escapes with longing sighs. Shall I give in? Shall I trust his spirit so familiar to my soul already? I remember how the words fell from his lips . . . ~Will you be my Bride?~ I turned to see his face his being true of voice his eyes filled with love bespeaking kindness and fidelity. He looks at me at certain times as if he’s waken from a dream come true. Yesterday, I was just a child seated at my mother’s feet attentive to her sonnets read in candlelight. A maiden now am I with right to choose fair love or live without. Oh Fate . . . I am torn and ripped apart my heart in tremors at the thought that this could be the Sonnet of My Life! Make haste my heart with answer true . . . my answer . . . Yes!! Love does not reside within a Crystal Ball! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 04:59:36 02/03/08 Sun Thank you so much, Janel. The image was the inspiration for my poem. It was actually a response to "The Proposal" which I should have posted along with it. Oh well, I'll have to find a way to post them together. Cheers! xoxo Wilopent [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
