Would you wander through this world and dance
      with me across this naked land?
Would you still reach out to me, knowing how I
      long to take your hand?
Would you like to run through misty forests,
      just before the break of dawn?
Would you chase the shadows one by one,
      until the dark is finally gone?


Would you lay me down on fields of daisies
      in a meadow kissed by dew?
Would you gently touch my soul with words
      of love that come from only you?
Would you start a fire in my soul I can't
      control, then walk away?
                  or..
Would you take me deep within your arms of
      love, and kiss my breath away?


Would you wish upon a star while lying
      with me, naked in the night?
Would you dance with me while watching
      spirits dance within the Northern Lights?
Would you chase the cold within my heart,
      by songs of love on wings of fire?
Would you be the one to fill the need that
      grows within my heart's desire?


Of all the questions I have asked
      the one that has the hardest words to say..
Is one that has been known to break the spell,
      and drive your lover away..
Just little words, once spoken, soon determine
      how one's life will surely be..
I'm asking of your heart, for my heart's sake:
      Just tell me, please...
           Would you love me?

Good morning Sunny,
Oh my, would I! How your words are so very touching, and come directly from that romantic heart that you possess.

Sunny, so many questions! Phrased so beautifully too, how could he resist, except to give the answer you wish to hear.

Oh, another one that speaks to me, Sunny. I did a similar, (less impressive) poem, asking the same question. It is the one question that can scare us to death, and yet the one we need the answer to the most. I love your words. And your vision.

               Somehow, this question has
               such an elusive answer in

This is a wonderful poem. And one of the hardest things to ask is your last line. We all want to be loved but are afraid of the rejection if we ask and are turned down. I applaud you for this.

Sunny if you can find someone that will do all those wonderful things you describe in the leading verses I can't see how they could'nt end up loving you. Such beautiful flowing romantic lines of intense sensuality and passion.
