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?
