Best Betrothal Poems

BETROTHAL was sure you'd come
Waiting on the steps
Saw a hawk circling
Across blue sky.
My hair glittered in twilight
Slippery steps , algae invading
Eyelashes flickered in kajal.
My face glowed in the bronze mirror.

Weave yet another cool breeze
On my unveiled cheeks, my love.
Humming raga, MEGHA MALHAR1
I visualized rain murmuring

Inspired by His glory
Empowered by grace

Rejoicing in faith
Enduring the race

Life’s hurdles 
Will I embrace

No blessing denied
Soaring high

An eagle’s view
Refreshed and renewed

My daily rest
In what is best

The word
The truth

Betrothal to one love
My Lord above

My father my God 
Hold’s the mercy rod

In Him I trust
For He is...

I have sought your place down by the sea
for a heart like mine trothed in unity
I have searched the lands low and high
for Love that would extend unto the sky

I have walked the mountains path and trails
hunting a beloved who never fails
go forth oh daughters...

Allen and his to-be-bride
He brings her home with joy and pride
For his mother she is a new daughter
For her father he is a new son 
To each other it is love ever after
As two lives become one.

In Christ you will be one
Come rain, storm or...

say 
where should i keep all those foot-prints 
having no lineage 

from whose paraffin-in-the-palms 
has taken birth 
so much monsoon rain-falls 

why the seagulls of this earth 
have not learnt 
in a better way 
the meaning of open windows 

wearing the same costume 
they can...

Hush! one whit elevation makes many,
Tislite born in Imilchil.
Who knows may write her own fate till her last day?
But only in a secret way.
Which can never be heard nor be told,
But Ait Hiddou and Ait Yaaza can only say.

It's been years since that day,
And now...

I heard
death call
before seeing
its face
Far in
the distance
it sent 
its embrace

Each sound
an omen
betrothed
deep inside
Announcing
the groom
awaiting
— the bride

Swoon now, enraptured Melancholy,
Betroth these heavy hours-
Wield thy sceptred dulcetude
O'er my soul's mist-sighing bowers!
For there yet weep unwearied ghosts,
And hungring hopes of weighted dream, 
Of the unsolaced heart long shorn of dawn
That no yearning can e'er redeem......

Yes? You may call it cliché,
This song or cry of love,
Its desperate and dark petals
Falling as the year bleeds out
To frost. The leaves dried or dying,
Thus to be described in crisp
Expected terms as “gold display”
Or “copper-bronze” and you
Would have me wait, you say,
Until another Spring,...
