Open Your Heart to Me

by Phantom Aria

A poem inspired by a line in Leroux’s book. “A wife whom I can love and take out on Sundays and keep amused on week-days!” From Erik’s POV

Sunlight on roses

Dancing in a summer breeze

My hand in yours

As we walk by a sparkling lake

Love shining in your eyes

As you gaze upon my smiling face

I promise you

A lifetime of days like this

And nights alight with passion's fire

If you will open your heart to me

Moonlight cast upon snow

Snowflakes glittering like falling stars

As we watch the first snow fall

From our front room window

Your voice lifted in song

As we sing along with our children

I promise you

A lifetime of nights like this

And days of wondrous bliss

If you will open your heart to me

I would change my life

To earn a place in your heart

Facing my deepest fears

And fighting my past demons

With you by my side

As my light and my guide

To all the miracles life has to offer

I promise

I will become the person worthy of your love

If you will open your heart to me
