I Hoped To...

I tried to write a collaboration of words on this page

to help you visualise your love through my eyes

what could, should and hopefully might or will be

If and when you gift me with your heart

I wanted to present something on this page

to unravel the intricate nature of Love's lifeline

A llifeline that could, might or will commence, if

hopefully, you eventually, link your heart with mine

I aspired to lay bare, a silent a poem on this page

a piece impregnated with words, carefully woven

together with the sole purpose of invading your

subconsciousness, creating visual representations

of the shape, nature and desires of a hopeful,

yet, unknown beloved...

When I say...

A few friends are getting married and I have been wondering about those two words "I DO" that will be said on that fateful day. The words that seal or close the deal. The words that ends singleness, that gives the final "Go ahead" or "Permission" for "two to become and live as one". I sometimes wonder what goes through minds when they say utter those words "I DO".

When I say I do

I am saying "I Love You"

in totality, honesty and truth

devoted only to you

When I say I do...
It means every breath I take

will be to inhale the essence of you

encouraged by the love I have for you

When I say I do...

It means my life will be a testimony

to the love, I have been favoured to find in you

Its covering will be my daily experience

It's meanings engraved within my existence
