The Proposal Poem by Godfrey AnguaMante

As sweet as sweet could be
I admire how you adore me
For all the glitz in life you see
Are made for me and you for free.
In good in bad that joy in me
Will pass to you for you to be
a better lover than Annabel Lee.
Of whom Edgar begged the saints to be.
To make a perfect life decree;
A christened lover’s vote of thanks
Will still your heart and choke your lungs
I have my words distilled in lines
I have my lines embossed in rhymes
And love letters engrossed in signs
I cross my heart and hope to die
Should I but blunder and tell a lie
Or leave your side or say goodbye.
