SIMPLE PROMISE

Well, I guess that I could say
I'll meet you in Paris in the spring
or some romantic place far, far away.
Now that would really be something.

Or I could gift you a diamond broach
heart shaped with sapphire in the center.
Such a gift would be beyond reproach
on a day like this at start of winter.

Perhaps I could write you a love sonnet
about passion or emotions bold
envelope it with a wax seal on it.
For such things I fear I am too old.

So instead let's meet at our birch tree
the one which has the river view
with initials I carved carefully
and there I'll give my love to you.

very nice thought

and well done, simple and nice. Who could not relate to it?

(But, I'd also love to go to Paris in the spring! )

kindly store it in safe custody till i can post it for thee

Meek hearted never Lovers make

For such love like things I fear not
Coz

then to all hags also friend
you will be sold
till end of life we desire so

Say this and that

squeeze your bones
and sure enough you will fumble
a wow
