Calmest Evening Poem by Devon McElveen

It is a beautiful night,
Don't you agree?
It may be freezing,
But we maintain warmth.

Watch the sky,
How many stars can you count?
Those lights up there,
They're lit for us.

The wind kicked up,
You grip me strongly.
You're cold, as well?
Might we go inside?

You may be right,
Why waste this moment?
The night is perfect,
As are you.

This cold is reaching me.
My face grows numb.
May I rest my lips
Where yours reside?

I've waited very long
To announce my love.
And here you are
Awaiting my words.

My breath forges clouds
With every single term.
Are you able to catch
What I am relaying?

Tears run down your cheek.
Are they that of joy?
I hope and pray
That it may be so.

And I stand here

Alongside you

Awaiting your answer

Will you be my wife?
