Adora
It's time to tell your parents.
I want them to know
that you will be okay.
That you will have joy
above the weight of common things.
That their concern may cease.
That you will hold onto happiness
every day, like apples in a basket.
That I will cradle you
in the now,
as they had, decades past.
I will cradle you
during movies
eclipses
any of the pauses
that may present itself.
And I will wrap around you,
during the midnights,
when the wolves within mankind howl.
I will be your warm fire
while you rest, while you dream
nightmare free.
I want to meet them
to tell them thank you
for creating someone worthy
of my righteous heart.
Someone made of their love
that shows itself
whenever you smile.
Because you are sacred inside yourself
and I see it in your eyes.
I want to pay them, with hugs
for all those that they gave to you.
I want them to know
that you are loved
as much by me, as they to you.
That I will cherish every hope
that they ever had for you.
That I will dignify the sanctity
of how they have always felt about you.
That I will pick up every promise
that they ever wished for you.
I want to tell them
that I'm as proud of them
as they are of you.
That any weight felt
is lifted.
That their toils
are not wasted.
I want them to know me
that I'm a man who stands tall,
proud, of who I am.
That my heart is gentle,
that I break nothing.
Yet I am steadfast
and fierce,
if any ills come calling.
I want to tell them
that their daughter has no worries,
because I will take them on
as my own.
That her life I cherish
and that her heart
has a home.
My own.

What's up amigo!
Thanks Gary. This write just flowed out non-stop, in February actually. It's even truer now...
It was time to post it.
And, I am blessed, to be honest. She's incredible. Bonding with words (she's a writer too) is always a great start, because it's learning about someone from the inside out. Everything else just falls into place.
I hope you're doing well !

What a cool thing to say! I can only guarantee it for one in particular, but you're right. Everything starts with respect and admiration for someone, then other emotions and thoughts come into play. Attraction is obviously an initial feeling. But that attraction can be more than physical early on as well. Writers are attracted to what is said, and how it's said. Those are our type of lovers.
Lucky for me, she's beautiful and a writer!
Thanks for saying what you did, Pink. It made me feel like I got it written right.

This is so sacred and beautiful. How could any female not swoon to this?
Such strength in words and emotion captured from your mind to ink!!
You crack me up at times - so to read this - it's another side of you that I so enjoy:)
The pic is equally captivating btw. It's like she's leaning into
her veil waiting to be cherished!! No need for white - black it is!!
Can't wait til you compile all of your stuff and actually publish.
I will be a pain in the ass til you do!!! The nagging Del!!
Loved this one.
It's got a special place in my heart big sexy!!

Shhhh, too soon!
I crack you up?! Oh poo !
And as far as my nose , you got the big part right, but definitely off with the sexy!
I'm glad you like the pic, it was my second choice. No, my 117th. About right? Lol.
Hey, btw, what!

This is so powerful... excellent flow... great line breaks... the repetition is perfect... the last orphan line is echoing...

I love your avatar!
Thank you so much for your points. This write mattered for real...
Sometimes I'm too "humorous" or gruff, but it's sometimes just a defense mechanism, like many do. But my writes are usually openly sincere. And sometimes, it pays off.

Omg, I’m so happy for you! This is absolutely everything. You remain the all time king of hearts, and it’s fucking glorious to see that you have a place to lay your cards.
The meeting the parents trope is so formal, and you weave this honorific moment with grace and earnestness. Love looks good on your poetry.
This is really lovely my friend.

My background with my parents wasn't good, and/or minimal, as many others have also dealt with. So to meet someone with such a strong family unit, no matter how old she (we all) get, is hugely envious to me. I truly admire that bond.
And her being such a wonderful person is obviously from having loving, supportive parents. I respect that a great deal.
Thanks Betty. For your awesome enthusiasm and strong as hell outlook/s. Don't stop holding your side of DUP up.
