Unconventional Love

It was a Bikers wedding.
All the Chapter were there
In brightly coloured leathers 
And freshly washed hair.
They escorted them off 
To the start of their new life
As Mister and Mrs,
Husband and wife.

They looked forward to consumation 
With such anticipation and delight,
They thrilled and pleased each other
Through that first exciting night.
Their first born nicknamed ZedBed,
Her twin sister Reception,
In remembrance of the sites of
Their Possible  Conception.

All the time they were married
He called her his Treasure
She called him her Source
Of Rich and Constant Pleasure..
A necklace filled with ashes
Worn always next to her skin
An almost electric contact
From his remains therein.

A matching bracelet for hers
When she herself moved on:
For their friends and family 
Two rays of brightness gone.
The girls wore those ashes 
With reverence and pride
As the last of The Chapter 
Took them on a final ride.

Old friends and
Old familiar faces
Accompanying them to loved 
And remembered places.
A solemn yet joyous procession
From a now empty marital home,
All leathers brightly coloured, all
Hogs agleam with bright chrome.

Each had a Bikers funeral.
All the Chapter were there
In brightly coloured leathers 
And freshly washed hair.
They escorted them off 
At the end of each life
Goodbye Mister and Mrs,
Goodbye husband and wife.
