I found me when I lost you
Can’t explain why I feel free
Never was unwilling or untrue
I just feel that sky is freeing
And believing myself to be spiritually
Free as a red herring how
Could I ever be caged willingly
I eagerly embrace a loveless cage
One where no handcuff wedding ring is placed
On my finger to linger and cement my place
Oh how could I make this mistake
I’m a bachelorette in satin dress
Happy to be pursued unwilling to be glued
To another’s idea of who
I am supposed to be for him for me
I’m a bird who hates the cage of matrimony
“‘til death do us part” the vampire once said
to his pallid bride, her throat blushing red.
The guests grew squeamish at what they just saw,
filled with great dread and primordial awe:
as the groom his bride exsanguinated.
They caressed, and kissed, and her life she bled
And rose as one of the un-wholly dead.
Exhausted they collapsed, their bodies raw.
“Mmm, ‘til death do us part,” he said.
Later that day as they unslept in bed--
a smell so fetid her poor senses fled!
“Drac, did you fart?!” “No, ‘twas just a crow’s caw.”
Suddenly she knew her post-fatal flaw!
“’Mon coeur, blah blah-blah.’ she scowled in her head,
Ugh! ‘til death do us part!” she said.

Look at her beautiful
but it's not about her body though
Those there the thoughts of touching her
lust mindset changes course I engulfed and embellished her
with my spiritual heart she's embraced and her Father's arms
This is His daughter I witnessed as she spurns my charms
I watch and embellishment in my mind of hearts
I deserve more than this as I'll wait and ask her Father for her hand
And in front of him I devotely stand
Ever presents her evidence her soul awaits I stand
For and offer a holy kiss
As the angels witness
I ask the Father for her hand
Just once though I am a man,
who's abandoned my selfish pleads
As I forfeit those once selfish thoughts
Pleading and asking the Father for His daughter's heart
Promises of love holy holy a bountiful love eternal natural bountiful love
I ask Father God may I have your daughter to see in Wholy
Holy matrimony
Please thank you Father
Hallelujah

May your days be long and happy
in God's own tender way
may your roads be all up hill
leading onward day by day
May the Lord watch and keep you
staying close so not to stray
may you have a blessed and happy life
in a world so full of strife
May your life be meany rainbows
always cheerful, always gay
may your heartaches be only minor
in God's holy name i pray.....
Because you are caught in the net
Of your vows and promises you get,
You want us too in your predicament.
An eternal capture and encampment.
No, i only fall in love not in engagement.
To my granny who spat vile in her speech,
Each time i visit her she turns eager to preach
Imploring me to marry in her witful beseech
As if she has nothing else to teach.
Granny, i will marry when i want or i will marry and cheat.
To my friends whom i dressed best as they played groom,
You betrayed the culture i will remain with the broom.
Matrimony wasnt my idea, i wonder where you got that from.
Mine was to make snares for loose prey which seldom roam.
In their petticoat you captured you seldom stroam.
To God, forgive me and may your peace abide
In my heart and may your angels guide me
In my persuit of casting my nets wide
To find unconjugated maid i wish to turn bride.
For a vow made to a virtuous lady is a man's pride.
Poyetik enej
We've been together for many a year.
I've come to hold our love so dear.
We've come through many burdens and cares.
The passing time has dispelled many fears.
Thinking of you fills my heart with tears.
We're one flesh now,
Living out our vows.
Only death will part us anyhow.
Other separations, we won't allow.
We are only flesh and bone,
Better together and not alone.
Our relationship, we will hone.
The seeds of love have been sown.
A beautiful bond has grown.
The future is ours to hold.
When our final hour does appear,
We will sweetly take a bow.
Yet we will never be alone.
Through this earthly life, we have grown.
In heaven one another we will behold.

Indifferent in the front of uncertainty
Eyes hooked to the cloudy sky
Where stars tend to disappear, scars tend to appear,
A perfect venue for holy matrimony of
Depression and the habitual pessimist in me
The silence was our favorite destination,
A perfect getaway, a perfect honeymoon spot.
Slowly with a pinch of lust,
Depression impregnated the reality
Self-doubt was our son,
Low self-esteem was our daughter
A picture-perfect happy family
A poem written in honour of the bride and groom.
EPITHALAMIUM
O' Father we come to saturate
We come to honour to celebrate
EPITHALAMIUM

Hallehullia, wedding angel
These two bride and groom
Holy nuptials these two shall make
1st we honour you, God
For the creation of this your child, beautiful woman
And this adorning man of your heart
A breath of love these two shares
We shall honour
wedding angel
lo' epithalamium, Hallehullia
A marriage vow, a marriage bed
We all stand here to celebrate
EPITHALAMIUM
O' Father we come to saturate
We come to honour to celebrate
EPITHALAMIUM

These two in holy matrimony

You can beat me up,
Send me to Malaysia for treatment,
I was on business, I will tell them
When I am back,
Business is good.
I have soldiers living
In my dining room,
Roaming my garden
Peeing in my swimming pool,
You placed them there,
The courts cannot take them out.
You walked out on me,
Never talked to me;
Married a twenty year old
The newspaper says,
You threatened to kill me,
Your hand is my danger.
POETRY MATRIMONY.
I don't remember
How it started or what started us
But you for sure wasn't a stranger
You were always around here
Lone and sold to heartbreak
I was also some drenched cat
Till you dry me with your lip
(Let's not try to remember,the past is gone now we're in the presence)
Let poetry bring up the music
The muse we now know
Should keep on burning
Like an eternal torch
Not prone to the force of the harsh wind
Let our soul grow deep in the romance of poetry
I remember you were both a reader and a writer
(That cemented us perhaps because
We were similar)
Let's seal our love with poetry
We should stand before muse
Joined together in the conjugal bliss of words
Let our matrimony ink words for the feeble,strength
For the despair, hope
Let's destroy and reconstruct
With matrimonial muse
(We could establish a generation with a voice inked down for activism)
We'd would live forever
In poetry matrimony.
To you
Union is an unwanted monster
Your love is at war
Strife over a small matter
This is your manner
Matrimony should be harmony
Cloud of malice is not like eye-candy
Should be erased as a useless memory
To give a room to a definite harmony
In love
Half plus half make one only
As one plus one are solely
For the collation of two contrary persons
Become an only person
For halves to rivet to become a one
Understanding, admitting they're one
And to forgiving
And forgetting
With neither a prattle nor prompt
For all living are bound in fault
And it's not a syndrome of disease, but inherent
For love is a prime number
For one increase is prime and flower
Sincerity makes a prime matrimony
As eyes are prime to the body.
Small particle may erase anxiety and affliction
Give thanks for small things for they can bring a grin.
