The Question Is

 


Golden, ethereal skies

   [a flowing river of eternal bliss ]
precious beauty, a romantic glare
   we'll cherish forever.

Memories of you and I
       standing
   a top mountains

               of heaven
staring at the very essence of life.

Our hands,

      embraced tightly
Summer kisses as soft and gentle

  as velvet rose petals;

You held me close
as you tenderly whispered into my ear

                 'I love you'


Your eyelash,
tickled against my forehead
leaving butterflies in the pit of my stomach

          Your warm breath always makes me tingle inside.

I remember your soothing voice

     as you spoke to me;

"I would climb mountains for you
          and bring down the sun
 from its home to warm you on cold nights,

   the endlessly flowing river represents my perpetual love"

you then carried me into your loving arms
            stared into my  eyes

"those eyes of beauty
  mirror these emerald trees,
       those eyes of beauty, yes, they belong to me"


 As wings fluttered and birds sang sweetly.
          you got down on one knee,

and gazed at the tranquil scene and then at me

"I love you with a passion
 not known to man and in this spot,
      a few years from now,

 

  I want to carry you into the glowing sunset
         in your long flowing ivory gown,
       while you play with the hidden images in the fluffy clouds"


The question is:

 

Do you?
Will you?

Yes, these are memories imprinted in my heart
  Of that one treasured day
   where ''Will you' was the sweetest question
       and 'Yes' was the happiest answer.
