I Am Ready

I Am Ready

A Poem by Choosing Life
"

*sighs*

"

I feel ready~

I feel ready to lay in the light

that shines through the window of your soul.

I feel ready to know your name

and know the way you say things the way you say them.

The way your teeth glow when you grin,

the dimple that rest in the cleft of your chin

I feel ready to serve and honor you.

Ready to acknowledge the beauty in your soul

To unwrap the Gift that God created for me in you.

To watch you unfold.

I feel ready to hold

your hand through it all...

Ready to catch you before you fall

Unless of course it is you falling into me

Falling into love with me

I am ready ...

Ready to kiss your lips

and know that God exists

when I see Him in your eyes

and hear Him in your words...

I am ready to love you selfishly

and selflessly.

I am ready to give you the best of me

and the rest of me

And all that is in between

Let me be your peach and drink my nectar

You are my king .

I have dreamed of your arrival

You are part of my revival

for in you new life will come

in more ways than one

I want to carry your daughter and son

Fill me with your seed

To birth the branches of our family tree

I feel ready

Ready to say those vows

Ready to show you how

How much I have been holding out

How much I have been holding back

Waiting for you to cross my path

You are exactly all I need

You are more than a dream or fantasy

More than imagined things

You are perfected love to me

I bow before you and adore you

I just want to show you the truth of all I see

Let me line up with Eternity

and give you every earthly year I have left

Love you till my very last breath

And not even death

Will separate you from me

For even in Heaven you and I will meet

just as we did before we came this place called earth

just as we did before God made you from the dirt

just as we did as He put you to sleep

and formed from you the love in me

You are not just some missing piece

I am all of you and you are all of me

That is what you and I were destined to be

we were meant to be

One

with out you I am undone

So I am simply stating

Until your appearance I will be waiting

waiting to call you Husband.

I am ready.

Ready to submit and give up life

as I know it

to be called your Wife.

Striking to say the least. Others might say that in here you have helped sum up what love truly is. Certainly very strong, very giving...predominantly giving, but not utterly. I'm a believer in harmony...unity, over equality. But I can only say that now with better understanding after my own hapless romantic had his carefree stint and now must recognize his new abode in an iron box.

He would have said you took the words right out of his mouth.




After reading this one phrase comes to mind. One of His.

Tell me, what does this mean to you?

"I've been waiting for you."

Such a beautiful, beautiful piece of poetry. There are some standout lines you have here (as usual); but I'd have to say that this really brings it all together:

"So I am simply stating
Until your appearance I will be waiting
waiting to call you Husband.
I am ready.
Ready to submit and give up life
as I know it
to be called your Wife."

There's something in this that I haven't seen in you, previously. It sounds so much more passionate than normal. I'm feeling this piece. These could definitely be a part of vows. Wow.
