Nuptials Poems

Nuptials

my dear, let's stroll
barefoot ...we laugh 'midst jeweled night
my dear, let's stroll...
old stars envious.   they cajole--
Maytime taps our feet, to delight
tender the waves, nuptials in sight
my dear, let's stroll...

Himalayan Nuptials

Better to reach for something
and miss
than to hold back playing it safe

Destiny in the intention
and choice
hesitance falling from grace

Better to be adopted 
by truth in flight
than the orphan of a lie

Where words and music marry as one
on the highest mountain
—you climb

Haiku Senryu Nuptials

wedding night                          
                             she calls him honey                   
                             he promises the moon

Impending Nuptials

I cannot bear to entertain
Thoughts veiled in white, wearing a train
Trimmed in lace and love-adorned
Pretty, pristine, and so I scorn
Thoughts that flicker, quenched again
By the eternal chill within the space
Between, and washes clean the slate;
Bringing at last to a hush, and nearly too late,
A voice to which we all incline
Our seldom happy hearts and ever mournful minds
Which spreads sinful seeds upon withering winds that sear
And birth a most powerful emotion- fear.

Fabulous Fun Footles - Nuptials

On time
Sublime

My beau
Hel-lo!

Guests smile
No guile

Church hall
Too small

Tikes play
Then sway

So hot
Must stop

Slow-mo
I know

Kid hurls*
Hits girls

Bride’s dress
A mess

Aaww, hell
The smell!

Wiped down
Don’t frown

Do you...?
I do!

Nuptials

Poetry...
the marriage of
raw emotion,
—and unbridled thought

(Las Vegas Boulevard: 3:15 a.m. August 3, 2016)

Nuptials

A sweet-poison par excellence
An incident uncommon in species other
An out-of-the-way vow for life
To breathe and die for one another.
Departing from old loved ones 
 Longing for unknowns
A challenge to lead life better than others
A solacing shackle and   ‘loss of freedom’,
As Jagmohan sir used to quote
‘Where you cannot die for yourself.’
Nectar nowhere found
To respite, soothe, conciliate and placate
To forget and forgive
A cushion of love with a wig of sleep
Patting with lullaby for a jiffy’s NIRVANA
Though a pair of long parallel lines
Expecting to be woven around each other
As mating serpents’ pair.

Rich Relative Nuptials

This wedding is hard-labor duty
(All the guests are acting so SNOOTY!)
A whole lotta' bunk!
Guess I'll get drunk
And pinch that thar bridesmaid's stiff booty...

For Joann's contest

Nuptials Carved By Our Parents

Those lovely little precious moments
Moments we shared and treasured like two lovely doves
Doves that had fallen freshly in love
Love which had been nurtured over a long period of time
 
Time which had been kept assiduously by our bountiful parents
Parents who had been looking forward to this Nuptials
Nuptials planned since our conception in their wombs
Wombs that had born and bred other siblings
 
Siblings who had failed to grant them their heart desires
Desires they expect that we shall grant under any circumstance
Circumstances which we can no more bear and tolerate
Tolerate and bear circumstances like their constant nagging
 
Naggings which are gradually becoming a nuisance to our ears
Ears that have had to put up with these nonsensical demands
Demands which we are slowly hearkening to
To make them happy and satisfy their bitter souls
 
Souls that have not rested in many years
Years that have seen them hope to make this combination
Combination of their seeds in order to continue the family friendship bond

Poetic Nuptials

My love you have found me in my proudest hour.
My dear I found you in my prayers so clear.
Soon we shall be bound in harmony of power.
Soon we shall be together in a bond so sincere.

Take my hand and promise to love me forever.
I take your hand and swear to cherish your heart.
Holding hands honoring each other in this endeavor,
Now we share words that can never be torn apart.

Looking into each other’s eyes, glistening in love,
Seeing each other’s hearts shine in heartfelt gold,
Standing so very close, watched by angels above,
We fold together for our binding kiss does unfold.

Bound in matrimony today, we placed our rings.
Upon each other’s fingers, now our passion sings.

-future Nuptials-

Your hand holding my hand

Your eyes locked into mine

Our lips slightly wet from our kisses

Your body singing my bodies song

Your heart beating in time with mine

Our minds thinking our same thought

Your mouth speaking my words

Your mine and I'll forever be yours


For Lorena & Carlos, 2008. May you have a happy long lasting marriage.
