Best Vows Poems

Witnessing before God, and taking your vow
Enter into marriage, forever starts now 
Devoted to each other, for all your life
Desiring no one, except for your wife
In sickness and in health, till death do you part
No one should come between you, right from the start
Giving of...

Like the smallest intake of air; I deserve not. Like a fantasy and dream
of a woman to have, honor, cherish and love till death;
I deserve not. But God has been
so good to me, even through
the sins amongst my
internal image
that I've
committed 
several 
times over.
Confessions after
confessions after
confessions,...

I refused to be ignored, helpless, and labeled as another bad seed
I refuse to fall in the trap that these so called "statistics" has made for me
I refuse to be stupid and take my education for granted
I refuse to put down a custom or culture...

To the lady that will leave me speechless with the white dress
and give me that magical groom, and bride kiss
I've written my vows, and they go like this

I may not know your full name yet
but you are whom I will share my last name with

I...

Speak my name, learn me through deep ways...
Bring horizons which enthrall
while blossoms twirl as  night sashays
to enchant our flamed spirit's call
that time,   in slow-hour dance  obeys.

When seasons reap a love's harvest
Let’s wander among clustered leaves;
fallen gold on oak   ...

I’m sure of it – we’ll do good enough in the long run
Let the crazy, busy, and sunny day begin and I welcome the sun
Do you welcome the sun?
You’re a lot of fun 
Let’s run in the sun
Embrace your passions and good side 
Our friendship...

Love share thoughts in this particle of time
"I adore your dress" "you are my groom on fire"
On the 29 of December we'll share: "you will be mine"
So we won't die of loneliness, depicted of desire!
And for love and sickness we'll walk through
Smiling and Sharing our...

As we stand hand in hand
As the wings of LOVE
enfold our hearts as ONE
under the arboresque 
Majesty Of LOVE
Utterly at the ineffable abode
Under the trellis bower of our hearts
As the innocent image of LOVE
emanate clearly as ONE
behind the effulgence veil of life

As we stand,
in the...

My love, I make a solemn vow to you,
Before our families, dear friends and God,
My love will always be completely true,
Until one of us lies beneath the sod.
I had no thought I ever could defraud
This precious man who opens up his heart.
The match my friends...

What tales your leaves must whisper
of youths tall in your strong arms.
Pretending to be pirates
in a terrible, fierce storm.

Or lovers in your shadows
making vows they sometimes kept;
dreamer's secret hideaway,
underneath leaves, young boys slept.

Many years honed your boldness,
growing taller, stronger, blest.
You were proud to play sentry
standing...

Vow I take, triumph I foresee
Verbal promise, clear-cut, precise 
Volition has my guarantee
Values changed, new contempt for vice
Virtue's purpose is verified 
Vision refocused, clarified
Vacillation is absentee

I've always loved Aspen's leaves of gold
Even though winter's what they foretold.
And maples' gold among the crisp red,
once fallen make the lovliest bed.

The green was nice and furnished us shade.
Beneath it, young lovers' vows were made.
It matched the green-swept, rolling hills.
holding its own, without golden...

Mom said, “No sex before marriage,”
With rules she thought were quite sage.
But in her wedding shot,
I see a twist in the plot—
Was her vow just a part of the age?...
