As I sit
and watch
you sleep,
I'm touched.

Touched by
the love
I feel for you.

Touched again
by how much
loving I recieve
from you.

Wishing
that I
could tell you
how I feel.

Instead,
I write
my love
into this,
your poem.

You mean
everything
to me.

You give me
inspiration, understanding;
You show me
caring and passion.

You are
my soul,
my air,
my world.

Spend eternity
with me
in the garden
of paradise.

Hold you,
love you;
that's all
I want to do.

Making me
feel special,
grand;
a super star
with a fan.

Without you
I'd wither,
wilt;
driving the sword
to the hilt.

Would my world
crumble without you?
I think so.

Marry me,
meet me
at the altar
to say "I do".

Together forever,
our lives
intertwined.

Blossoming
like a rose
in springtime,
that's my love
for you.

Opening up
to new dreams,
new experiences
with you.

You will see
my love
bear fruit.

Beared from
the seed you
planted
in my heart.

Take me,
tell me
you'll be
mine.

Now and forever,
that's all
I ask.

Hoping now
you see
my love
as true.

True until
death do
we part.

This is absolutely beautiful and so well written and full of love, passion and romance.  It is clear in your words that you are forever devoted to your Jennifer.  Thanks for sharing this!  Have you shown this to her yet?  Better bring some tissue when you do  

Take care,
Melissa Honeybee

I love the style of your work.  Does Jennifer know she's loved as much as she is?  Give her a copy of the poem or, tell her.  This is beautiful.

...Where do I start...first I have to catch my breath.  I wish I had those things felt for me, so deep, so undying, and so true.  This was trully a work of art, and someone is very lucky for you. I read through this twice, and though some stanzas rhymed, and others just went, it flowed with an all overwhelming sense of passion and love.  And feeling is the overall determination of great writing...and yours is full of feeling.

**Definatly let Jennifer know how much she is loved.  I think you have truly found what I would call, "a simple wish."  You have what others, like myself, can only dream of.  Good luck in your future with
Jennifer!**

thank you one and all for the comments.  This is how I proposed to her 5 years ago.  She was going away to mackinac island for a weekend and I was going away for my 2 weeks of annual training for the army reserves.
I left this poem on her pillow the morning I left and called her the monday following to find out what she said.  She said yes and 5 years later we are still happily married.
