soft underfoot

Dusk and windy outside

the purple lit room remains still and peaceful

my father holds my hand

steady on my feet as a result

he leads me to you.

You are aged and gentle

eyes on your hands and shoes

anticipating me

Then it happens, on cue, as you always seem to be

our eyes meet and I just want to cry

and I see that you already are.

Thank you for love

and the slightness of your eyes as they watch me

watching you as we show the world that sometimes

patience pays off.

Beat beat beat

the drum in my chest tells me it's time

I can think of nothing but the plush carpet

soft under my feet, laid out just for us

feet on fire, I take off my shoes to feel it soft underfoot

absentmindedly running down the aisle into your arms

protocal be damned

Rules don't matter, this is our time now.

So let them stare at us

let the laughs come and let me hold you forever

I could care less about tradition

as long as you are my forever

and with your lips on my lips

I can tell that my dying thoughts will be of you.

When it comes to love poetry, this is in a laeuge all of its own. The pace and beat are perfect. The theme is handled perfectly. The emotion expressed with perfection. Is it perfect? No. It's better than that. It is sublime

This is love!!! So romantic... if only everyone could experience this deep unequivocal, passionate love.~"as long as you are my forever, and with your lips on my lips, I can tell that my dying thoughts will be of you." ~ Breathless!!!

beautiful writing. so full of emotion. saying things that many feel, but few can piece together with words. if this is at all autobiographical, you're both very fortunate people to have each other.
