Best Betrothed Poems

betrothed to the breeze
heart-shaped leaves flutter down...
cupid's handiwork

sun weaves in and out
in flirtation with the clouds... 
love's light never dims

daylight fades quickly
yet, never my love for you...
will stars live so long?

New seed is sown, a baby born; one and twenty years ago.
I felt the moment, I felt the day, and became a man to grow.
You blossomed, the petals emerged; the seed became a radiant flower.
Angel darling, two months ago, I surrendered myself to your power.
Together...

Betrothed


O! Love! My Love! Witholdeth not thine heart!
What guile be this upon thy pit'ous lot?
Beknownst this day my father--King--didst start,
Not I, but he! What grief o'ercomes! Fie! Plot!

O! Love, love. My Love! Thyself beauty's rose
This night mine armour hies anon--thy thrall
To findeth: Thou whom holds...

what are we
can we be defined
what's our status
what cannot be denied
words can be spoken
and gestures give us signs
but when i say i love you 
can it be defined
we give ourselves emotions
when to laugh and when to cry
but we can't control emotions
they are like wild horses...

I can't find words
overwhelming happiness
can't be measured
you fill my heart with joy
I can't utter the word
just let my tears roll down
from my eyes, wearing my gown
I will run along the fjord
and fall into your loving arms.
Come now, Sweetheart!
I'll entwine you with my charm
concurring and benign
promise...

Loathed Being Clothed When Betrothed

again he had loathed
wedding and way she was clothed
while being betrothed

The moon gleams on your pallid complexion.
I cannot keep my eyes off your charm.
Your bony dance is frenetic.
Your wedding dress is chilling.
Your hand holds the sandglass.
When you wish, I am
ready to feel
on my neck
your sharp
scythe.

On a Betrothed Girl
by Erinna
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

I sing of Baucis the bride.
Observing her tear-stained crypt
tell Death who dwells underground:
"Thou art envious, O Death!"

Her monument reminds passersby
of the bitter...

Arbitrarily Betrothed

Aloft and betrothed, I flutter through some olden transgression. Lo! The attunement to the wise! Sickular gold shan’t be care’d for ailment any longer!
O’! How the gold glitters neath ‘eir brow. Silver Green ornaments lining ‘eir ‘air! For, I tell all ye bastardly craven...

With her first words she mesmerized his soul,
Of rose water and lavender was her aroma,
Her tip tap of her fairy tale walk was majestic,
A woman of status still in her prime of depth and note, 
Wisps of red-hot curls, floating out of control adding
To her...
