THE QUESTION

He had no idea he'd be asking the question.
It came as a shock;
A total surprise.
As if someone else's voice was escaping his
Lips, taking control of his mind.

Some haunting ancient apparition
Entering into his thoughts,
Guiding to a new commitment;
Two hearts deeply intertwined.

Now the night is deftly quiet.
Everything to say is said.
Except for one last burning issue
Which has waited patiently
For conversation's intersection,
The perfect point of interjection,
From his soul escapes the question,
"Darling, will you marry me?"
