BENDED KNEE......

Sweat beading on forehead
yeah I'm nervous as hell
but bare with me
this day has a story to tell
nervous....
one hand in pocket
the other on the poem I wrote
lowering myself like an elevator
feeling like a electoral race
won't you cast your vote
long ago
I was preparing for you
next, I painted images of being one flesh
surprises on Birthdays, Christmases
and Valentines day
this moment was bound to happen next
my heart knew long after the exchange of names
convinced after you planted your lips to kiss
stumbling over my words,
today of all days
See
I rehearsed this in front of a room full of mirrors
I spoke these words while I prayed
and God approved
now I'm standing here
NO!
I'm kneeling before you
needing your ears...to hear me woooo you
requiring your eyes....to see my truth
asking for your hand
the commitment rises from my pocket
and then appears like a pearl from a open clam
My life is ready
will you be part of my ongoing plan
"this metal"
formulated in circular design
circles are continuous with endings
nothing will break this bonding that binds....us
"the jewel"
its not quite a diamond
but a unique birthstone
your birthstone, on your birth month
the man reciting
is giving you an invite of a lifetime
asking in a sincere heart
while disbursing falls of tears in his eyes
"Will you be mine?"
Can you follow the lead of man
guided by the highest man
Do me the honor
to provide my Kingdom
with a Queen of one
two becoming one
PLEASE!!!
Don't accept me for the ring
accept me because you are receiving your King
answer me while falling on bended knee
rejoice in our personal party
of no longer being single and un-free
I'm asking you again
look at me deeply
repeat after me please
listen, watch and feel the sincerity
I stop chasing dreams
I'm racing to win reality
BELIEVE........ME..........WILL..YOU??????
