~*sighs*~  Well, I just couldn't stay away from my family here at passions.  I've only been away a week and it seemed like an eternity.  I think that my muse is back

I am single, but I wrote this poem to my "future husband."  I am a romantic and I have hope that someday I will meet him (fingers crossed)  


~WITH THIS TEAR~


On this day,
I stand before you
and breathe destiny,
you are my hope,
my fantasy,
the fulfillment of my wishes
to begin a new cradled in the arms of love

With this vow,
I pledge to love unconditionally
to honour and cherish you,
to be your lover and your best friend,
these sacred vows shall have no end

With this ring,
I thee wed
uniting two hearts as one,
knowing that God brought us together
to live in this divine heaven as angels,
our bond shall never cease
like the eternal circle of love our rings hold,
ever golden as a lifetime of marriage to come

With this smile,
I give to you my faith
and hand to you my heart
so that you shall hold them both gently
and sigh a whisper of trust into love's air,
so that we shall stand beside each other
for better or for worse
as husband and wife

With this kiss,
I give to you my soul
to express my undying devotion
sealing our vows to taste romantic bliss
for, you are the most beautiful man to ever grace this earth,
I am proud to be your bride,
fate dances at the touch of our lips

With this rose,
I hand you my first gift as your wife,
I give to you my passion
and exchange mine with yours
as marriage is both beautiful and giving,
we must share our lives with acceptance and understanding
as these petals shine red, a symbol of our lasting love

With this tear,
I marry thee
and create happiness and a family,
you will remain the other half of my heart
'til death do us part

With this tear,
my love for you shall forever be,
I am yours today, tomorrow and always,
you're all I'll ever need

With everflowing tears,
I thee desire,
adore
and respect

Dreams do come true...
God answered my prayer,
my waiting is over,
I found you

You are my greatest love and my last love,
you are the one and only true love,
you are my everything,
you are my treasure -
that rare pearl discovered in an endless sea of friendship and love

My husband, I love you so

Judging by this YOU will not be single very long.  This is exquisite and some lucky guy is going to cherish this and you very very very much.
