One of three love poems found here, written by Eric Pabst. This particular poem is how he proposed to his girlfriend. Alarmingly, it worked, and she married him:
Sitting by a fire in Ross Park in Pocatello I said and then sung these words to her (April 4, 1997):
Time dissoles as I look into your eyes.
Eternity arrives sooner than I’d ever dreamed.Distance disappears as our fingers touch,
And all urges our hands to interlock.My heart beats boldly as my love ignites,
And my whole soul is filled with light.My knees touch the earth…
I know the moments right…A diamond appears with my heart inside…
I offer you all I am…The choice is thine.Will you marry me?

Love you guys.

Thanks, Dave. BTW, there’s a typo in my poem. “Time dissoles” should be “Time dissolves”. I need to contact the U of U to regain access to my page and fix the typo. I never noticed that until now.
The poem is dear to my heart and my wife has jumped at the chance to recite it to many people. It’s actually the very first poem I ever wrote to her, but I withheld it from her until that night, even though I shared many others with her in that time.
