THE PROPOSAL

Beneath the inky sky,
Under the watchful stars,
Stands a girl so shy,
Bathed in silver moonlight

Slender in form,
Delicate to behold,
Of her beauty n charms,
... No words can be told

Beside her on the sand
Kneels a handsome man
Waiting with bated breadth
for acceptance- to take her hand

Every moment seems long to him
The weight of nervousness - painful
And then she utters a single word..
Ah! No word ever sounded this wonderful!

"yes" she says
Thereby sealing their combined fate
He folds her into his embrace
Atlast! She was to be his mate

Looking onto the sea,
Still locked in an embrace,
They dance with wild abandon
For henceforth life- together they shall face
