Each day a kind deed.

Each day a kind deed.

Love you, evermore

It's winter time here in India during February. And it was this time of the year a decade ago when a journey from friendship to courtship had begun which now has moved into marriage. Since my husband and I would be celebrating 10 years this year, to that moment in winter when we confessed our feelings, my mind is full of those memories. Thank you Poetry Jam for giving this prompt.

Wintry evening stroll so nice,
Holding her hand,
He said, stuttering thrice,
“That feeling in you,
Is a part of mine,
On this day and forever,
Will you be my Valentine?”

For her, the world stood still,
The cold breeze kissed her face,
Asked her to commit a yes.

Standing under the single lit lamp-post 
Quietly for minutes, so long,
She said, fighting the frost,
“This feeling in me,
Is a part of you, I know,
Since this day, until eternity,
I would love you, evermore.”

    Solid Piece! I like the cold breeze kiss..

    My poem is just free verse. I try to limit my words. In this one I was also just playing with the shape. Thanks for your kind words.
