Poem

“Denise Hernandez”

By Tasha Palmer

 

 

 

Desciption of Submission: “This poem doesn’t have any other title, I wrote this especially for my fiance.

                       About how I felt after being engaged. It’s very deep, and visual. I’m taking in the

                       moment and remembering everything around us- what I feel, I see, and touch.” – Tasha

 

 

Take my hand, lean in closer

Let me in, a little whisper

As I look into your brown eyes

And push back your beautiful hair

don’t forget this night

I can see your gorgeous face

In the moons caressing light

As I move in for a kiss

Ready to take in fate

Your lips my finger will trace

I’ll look deep and long

As I say so softly..

“With you I belong,

For now and for always, love me.

Hush baby, don’t make a sound

You’re all I see

You’ve been the one I’ve searched for

All my life, you’ve been here

I’ve waited eighteen years

And now here you are

Baby, my eyes fill with tears

Sparkling like the shining stars

My heart plays a song

I could live the rest of my life happy

Knowing you’re my One

My one and my only

So as I’m standing in front of you

My arms open for only you

As you feel my fingers entwined with yours

Can you feel what’s true

Within my heart, engraved your name

I think its time, I’m ready now

To give you.. All of me and everything..

True love, I’ve finally found

I guess what I mean is..

don’t yet, don’t speak

Let me finish

Denise Hernandez,

Will you marry me?”

 

My lips gently pressed against yours

My arms wrapped around you warm

 

A ring doesn’t prove our love

Wedding bells don’t mean a thing

As long as I know your mine

Is all I will ever need.

 

“I love you, for now and for always

With you is my place to be”
