Valentine
Not a red rose or a satin heart.
I give you an onion.
It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.
It promises light
like the careful undressing of love.
Here.
It will blind you with tears
like a lover.
It will make your reflection
a wobbling photo of grief.
I am trying to be truthful.
Not a cute card or a kissogram.
I give you an onion.
Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips,
possessive and faithful
as we are,
for as long as we are.
Take it.
Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding-ring,
if you like.
Lethal.
Its scent will cling to your fingers,
cling to your knife.
by Carol Ann Duffy
Wedding-Ring
My wedding-ring lies in a basket
as if at the bottom of a well.
Nothing will come to fish it back up
and onto my finger again.
It lies
among keys to abandoned houses,
nails waiting to be needed and hammered
into some wall,
telephone numbers with no names attached,
idle paperclips.
It can't be given away
for fear of bringing ill-luck.
It can't be sold
for the marriage was good in its own
time, though that time is gone.
Could some artificer
beat into it bright stones, transform it
into a dazzling circlet no one could take
for solemn betrothal or to make promises
living will not let them keep? Change it
into a simple gift I could give in friendship?
by Denise Levertov
Hot, Hot Lovin'
My wedding ring fell in the toilet
So I asked my wife if she'd boil it
It then burnt my hand
My own wedding band
For she thought that I asked her to broil it
I Shall Not Burn
I have done with love and lust,
I reck not for gold or fame;
I await familiar dust
These frail fingers to reclaim:
Not for me the tiger flame.
Not for me the furnace glow,
Rage of fire and ashen doom;
To sweet earth my bones bestow
Where above a lowly tomb
January roses bloom.
Fools and fools and fools are you
Who your dears to fires confide;
Give to Mother Earth her due:
Flesh may waste but bone will bide,--
Let loved ones lie side by side.
Let God's Acre ever dream;
Shed your tears and blossoms bring;
On age-burnished bone will gleam
Crucifix and wedding ring:
Graves are for sweet comforting.
Curst be those who my remains
Hurl to horror of the flames!
by Robert William Service
Wedding Ring
Wedding Ring
Why did you take my wedding ring? Did taking it give you a zing? Did hurting me give you a
double ring in your b b thing? Did the carats make your heart sing?
Did you think your new lady would like my ring? Wouldn’t it sting her to know whose thing
that was first darling?
That hurt more than anything. Why did you take my ring?
Do
It was the night before
Long awaited day
All the trimmings
Put in proper place
Picture books
Process being made
Tux and Gown
Finest in town
Music special picked
Little girls flower baskets
Yes the guy as well
Can't forget the wedding ring
A Oneness in the proceeds
Saying
Love you
Wedding Ring
A romantic ring, beautiful to behold
…dazzling diamond or gorgeous gold
A symbol of a special synchronization
A real ring, not just for fun or fashion
A romantic ring, not for boys not for beast,
A righteous ring, presented before a priest.
Meant for a married man… a mild ring
Fit for a wise, worthy woman... wedding ring.
A cute curve of kindness, caresses and kiss
Built beautifully, bringing blessings and bliss.
Language of Love
The only words a man needs to know
When he leaves his wedding day
Is yes dear and no dear while nodding his head
And of course whatever you say
It seems like men get dumber
When they put on that wedding ring
His house is not his castle
And He's no longer the king
He tells her no your're not getting fat
At least twenty times a day
And he bites his tongue til he can't even talk
When her mother comes over to stay
They say that marriage is blissful
And there's nothing greater in life
And now you know my opinion
But I still better ask my wife
The Proposal
The unexpectedness of know that the one who love you is about to ask you one of the
biggest question in your life, if you would be his wife and he bends down on one knee eith
the wedding ring that make him complete and one \with you. Accepting and know that you
two will be spending the rest of your life with him; spending a lifetime with the one who
olove her and she loves him just as much and are inseparable, and unbreakable...
The Wedding Ring
This ring means much to me,
Much more than my own finger.
The love in this wedding ring,
Will always and forever linger.
I love you more than myself,
I love you with all my heart.
I love you more than life itself,
I wish that we would never be apart.
The Great evergreen
Best represents our love,
Summer, winter, spring, and fall.
The only thing to stop us,
Is the great God above.
This ring is strong,
For it, I would lose my ring finger.
I'd wear it around my neck,
For the love, will always, and forever linger.
