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?"
