Beautiful white lace and
Buoyant veil, a vision
Beguiling as she walks, 
Borne on dreams, promising,
Blushing and radiant,
Beside her proud father,
Betrothal bells ringing.

  to its crown we are wed

Its light our betrothal

The words ever regal

Thus will it be written

of a morning
of a window
singing freely
/once heard

of a longing
of a distance
in the memory
/wayward

of a darkness
of a warning
that prophetic
/sojourned

but a vow
but a promise
a betrothal
/returned

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......

RING

Propose

Betrothal


Adorning my hand

a gleaming band of gold -

finally husband and wife.


“A symbol of our commitment”

Yes? You may call it cliché,
This song or cry of love,
Its desperate and dark petals
Falling as the year bleeds out
To frost. The leaves dried or dying,
Thus to be described in crisp
Expected terms as “gold display”
Or “copper-bronze” and you
Would have me wait, you say,
Until another Spring, although
My question’s sown for answering....

Do you love me on this fine summer's day
as I dream of the bottle brush bees?
Your heart answers 'yes'
fly beneath me, I'm blessed
as I swim through the thickening breeze.

The moon and the stars
are eternally ours,
a betrothal 'tween nature and men
In your slumber tonight
love your summertime wife
as we fly on the wing and the mend....

Marrying war
the true soldier is wed
Betrothal of blood
asleep in his bed

The men he would die for
as groomsmen rejoice
A vow ringed in glory
his weapon of choice

The years become marked
by each battle romanced
Anniversaries pledged
at the point of a lance

Divorce not an option
fidelity cries
His love bleeding freely
—with honor his bride

(Dreamsleep: January, 2024)

Beyond the world lies a journey,
a horizon that acquaints a magical destiny,
a solitude with soulful eternity,
a milieu abiding betrothal vicinity,
where deity is within the eyes
and the  faith adobe vivid smile.
 
Beyond the human lies a viability,
a nascence that exhale a verse amorously,
a spirit with blissful sovereignty,
an admirer beaconing Elysian itinerary,
where deity is seen solely,
to a hermit heart wallowing ethereally....

god bless your name might this might and mercy bless you

one that involves me and you
i stretch my hands to thee
thee oh lord

The hammer teaches us how to play
Bed of stones beckoning with the hand
The cries of my younger's provide energy
Work hard for a bread
Though I am a kid
Yet mature!

Metallic sounds,
Drops from dry bones,
Cool my body.

Father doesn't know us
Maybe He is reading my face!
Mom is too ill to work

Her kind hands,
Fight with a hammer,
Do hard in the battle of betrothal
Silent Cries
And Her worthy love
Matures me.
You can again betray with Her daughter!!...
