the marriage proposal

let's get married, she says.

let's throw

caution to the wind.

let's fly off

to some far away island

and slip rings

onto our fingers.

blue water, white sand.

just me and you.

the birds and clouds.

the sun upon us.

let's get young again

and do the things we were

born to do.

let's do it together as one.

i'll be yours, if you'll

be mine. let's say i do,

until the end of time.

can i sleep on it?
