Proposal

As a reading, at the wedding ceremony, I read an adapted version of one of my older poems, which twice steals a line from Christopher Marlowe. My poem is called Proposal. The renowned borrowed line is "Come live with me, and be my love."

Our destiny is at our feet,

And you are by my side. 

Come live with me, and be my love. 

Come walk with me, and be my bride. 

When two hearts such as ours meet

They cannot part - become one life. 

Come live with me, and be my love. 

Come walk with me, and be my wife.
