PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Poignant, poised, proper, prosperous patience
Indelibly inked by lines written on pages
Seemingly masked by a concept of ages
To all that is writ in contextual spaces

We have a language all our own
A verse written between our souls
We speak in a tongue that only we know
And together we continue to grow
So when you spoke those words today
I'm afraid I didn't have words to say
I was caught by surprise, you see
My mind went racing, my heart skipped a beat

When I said we should go halves
I didn't think you took me serious
When I said I would take that
I thought you thought me delirious
So, when you told me today it has come to fruition
I wasn't quite sure how to gauge my intentions
Now, I'm standing here on the edge of tomorrow
Not entirely conscious of where we will go
I sit with my pen and my pad in hand
To scribe some semblance to help me understand
Everything changed in a breath with one word
Everything changed in the moment I heard
When you spoke those staggering words to me
To tell me that forever is something you see
In a future of blessings for the life we could lead

I couldn't find the right words to speak
In the moment you told me everything
Now, as I sit here in an attempt to find
The right way to tell you what's coursing my mind
All that was in me before is unseen
In a moment you changed the way that I see
When you spoke so sweetly, a gleam in your eyes
To tell me the news of the change in our tide
I gazed at you both confused and lovingly
The moment you spoke of your pregnancy
