Can You And I?

Can you begin at the base
of my mountain
slowly climb till reaching the cliff
at the utmost top?
If I suggested you jump would you,
could you,
or would you hold onto what you
started with till the end?

Could you deep sea dive the depths
of my ocean
concurring the schools of fish
currently in control?
Would you drown if my oceans depth
was to deep
or would you rise to the surface for air
now and then?

Can you diagnose and repair my computer's
main frame
replacing mother board and ram memory
gone bad?
Will it require erasing all the memories
of the past
to reboot and start my repaired main frame
all over again?

Can a locksmith you become unlocking
stubborn doors
or are keys a hindrance to you
preferring openness?
If I locked myself out would you
come rescue me
or would your priorities leave me
finding other measures?

Would you allow me to scale your mountain
memorizing every ridge
bungee jump within your security till daylight
turns to night?
Could I reach the peak and still see
the beautiful valley below
through eyes that embrace nature
piece by piece?

Can I surf the tides of your ocean
starting with the highest
as it's intense wave caresses
my imagination?
Could I savor the lowest tide caressing
the evening
relaxed in the softness of the sandbar
below the water's rule?

Can I play on the keys of your computer
make them come alive
with the touch of my fingertips
creating romance?
Can my computer and your computer
network together
creating a powerful mega force
no one can corrupt?

Can I become a master key
in your life
unlocking all the closed doors
so freedom can reign?
Can I use my key to unlock
our fantasy's
making way for two single worlds
to become one?

Can you and I climb the tallest mountain
together hand in hand
guiding each other through the journey
like there's no tomorrow?
Can you and I hang glide over the valley
below our sky line
floating away further into our destiny
forever together?

wonderful poem. I hope he said yes to all of these questions, if so then it has to be true love.

memorizing every ridge
bungee jump within your security till daylight
turns to night?
Could I reach the peak and still see
the beautiful valley below
through eyes that embrace nature
piece by piece?
