Jesse Zerlaut Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

My Bride

To paint from memory a portrait of beauty
none more vivid artwork than you, my bride
Your unbound smile was a sea of diamonds
carrying my heart up with every lifting tide

As vows, we spoke you blushed so sweet
there your warm hands I held so dear in mine
I found profound love within your soft eyes
that after all this time still brightly shine

In a crowd of faces, there was only you
I drew you close to claim you with a kiss
In close, I offer a gift of words, my love
life with you has been nothing short of bliss


~An Anniversary gift to my wife, Molly.~

Andrea Dietrich July 11, 2017 at 6:16 PM ahhh, the sixteenth. I am now at our 41st. how time flies!! Happy Anniversary and what a sweet poem. Jesse Zerlaut July 12, 2017 at 8:35 AM tell me it's still magical even at 41. Life seems full of broken down marriages along the road and for a dreamer who wants 40 years or more with his wife it's disheartening.

This was great, keep them coming. oldbuck Jesse Zerlaut July 8, 2017 at 1:11 AM My wife is the greatest treasure of my life, everything she does is wonderful and so I wanted to be sure she knew she couldn't be more loved. thank you for your words. :)
