Short Betroth Poems

Betroth By Taking Oath and Both

This has been happening when we betroth;
What we should always do is take an oath;
Down aisle walk;
Together talk,
Being sure that of these we must do both.

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......

Tis true you swore an oath
A contract intended for both
From saints pure minds you did quoth
Your duplicitous mind, truant heart did me betroth
My nubile furrow plowed for fecund growth
Yet your fertile stream my shallow root did not clothe
My fruitless womb your evil spirit did loathe...

TNo you have not missed flow
Bounced back with glow
Thy art is immortal
In full throttle
Amiably adorned thy PGT
With Henna superbly
Her sweet and luscious palms
Enjoy and flaunt thy alms
Hate the bond between you both
Like a newly match betroth(ed)
Such an inseparable friendship
Reminds of glorious kinship
It’s beyond the normal
Surely abnormal..!!...

Betroth her to me,
If she will never stop amazing my spirit.
Bring her to me, 
If she will never stop beautifying my heart.
Hand her to me,
If she will never stop spoiling me with love.
Entrust her to me,
If she will never stop till she fight my war.
Leave her to me, 
If she will never wish for my death before the hour.
Send her to me,
Let our hands lock in wed.
Send her to me,
Let our oneness soul united....

midst nature-propped task
birds immaculately clad…
beautify weddings

bearing special role
God-blest doves show faithfulness*
"till death do us part"**

*Hosea 2:20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.
