Proposition

Take my hand and walk with me
along the cliffs beside the sea,
and feel the thrill of surf and spray
that chases all our doubts away,
then gaze into that boiling jade
till one by one the memories fade,
and we are one, like sky and sea
not you and I but only we,
Promise this, my love you must
till ashes to ashes and dust to dust.

A place that takes doubts away and where memories fade...I'll take a ticket! Make that first class!

perfect poetic phrasing kissed with melodic cadence
love the romantic devotions in this gem
very cool write Olias

Now this one is a song of love filled with a cadence and tune that begs to be sung. Superb writing and beautiful sentiments. Loved it much.

Olias that's so well done...I just love reading it...I'm so much into those kinds of words that aren't too complicated when it comes to the poetry of love. But the economy of your words of love are so well arranged from the heart that the message of unending love is so compelling...just fab stuff I love it!! The setting is one of the most beautiful in the world and you captured it so well.....ethome

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.

To walk beside the sea with you
To share our hearts, to be brand new
To fall into your love, and into your eyes
To lose myself within your sighs
I accept what you offer with passion and pride
To walk with you always, side by side...

Beautiful Olias

This is wonderful, Olias! So romantic...I love it!!

do I believe we'd be better off apart?
can I see my world without you in it?
baby, not for a single minute...
