Love… <br />Give me a rock, <br />Any rock, <br />And I would carve from it the emblem of our love: <br />The lily, <br />which unlike the rose- is gentle; <br />From the base of the stem, to the tip of the shoot, is mild. <br /> <br />Give me a rock, <br />Any rock, <br />And I would mold with it the trenches of a river, <br />With purpose of <br />pooling the scatterings of your love for me, <br />Channeling it, <br />That it might mix with the sea I have for you. <br />And there our adoration for each other is endless, <br />And would never run dry. <br /> <br />Give me a rock, <br />Any rock, <br />And I would make it into a brace, <br />That it might fix my eyes upon you, <br />Not because of Jealousy or distrust, <br />But because you are so fair. <br />So fair, <br />That I do myself a disservice <br />If for a second I take them off you; <br />Even if it were to view the crown jewels. <br /> <br />And love <br />As I am on my knees, I ask of you <br />that you take this rock; <br />For each day you’re not my wife, <br />It is one less day that I live. <br />so...Say yes, <br />That I may have the hope of days to come, <br />Say yes, <br /> <br />And within twelve turns of the moon <br />Take my name. <br />With this said <br />Love…Will you marry me?<br /><br />Leslie Alexis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-rock-4/
