Marriage

Writing Wednesday: It just dawned on me that I have not shared a single piece from my new poetry collection that is in the works. If anyone is curious, this piece is not written from personal experience. I have never been engaged, and I am not interested in marriage in any sense, but I often write from another's view. This piece was more simplistic, but it works. Here it is:

Marriage

I never expected you to get down on your knee

And ask to spend the rest of your days with me

But you have shown me so much love

You have convinced me that love comes from

Nowhere else but from the lord above

Love is delicate

But when two people feel it

They somehow make it work

They somehow fill that empty space

And they take you to another place

When you are with them

They take you somewhere you have never been

Their love almost feels like a sin

Their soft touch is something you crave

You would have never imagined your life would

Turn out this way

But now you know it is destined and meant to be

A life that consists of you and me
