wedding and way she was clothed
while being betrothed

the night we met

Oh what kind of love is this?
So betrothed yet unable to touch or kiss.
Denying each other desires of the flesh
knowing that a simple touch from the other will be the touch of death....

I, the many
a harlot's realm, betrothed
to the light, each door a seed

yet, eyes 
ever glossed in overtones
of harmonic gaze 
deep within her strings

and enter anew
in silence... 
... raw...

Will never forget my first real love, Mary Ross
Toppled head over heels, so cuddly and soft
Was blown away
In love's sweet ballet
Think of her still though to another I'm betrothed...

The pieces of the day
Fit to stay
As my mind catalogues
With it all 
It never clogs
Room like a stall
My betrothed on the line
Giving good love
And whispers
Keep the pieces
From washing away...

Kiss
hidden
in secret.
Locked forever,
shining leaves caught in sap turned to amber:
a golden love held in rings betrothed.
In unison,
palm to palm,
fingers
touch.

(Painting 1, 30th August)...

Bemasked

Behind a happy mask
Beneath your guise of joy
Belie sweet wounded eyes
Betrothed to dreams unlived
Belayed for these few hours
Because you smile tonight

Betrothed within,
making love to ourselves

Pledging new vows,
to seal every tryst

Promises buried,
 a marriage unseen

Wedding bells ring
—ever silent and deep

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2020)...

fingers skilfully skimming
over the piano keys
akin to bliss magnetism
renewing rapture with ease

betrothed to God, love distils
vibrations unbecoming
succumb to slow seduction
bliss strobes in our heart drumming...

Let go of your
hand grip
let go of
the past
Take fate as
a lover
betrothed
and recast
Your belt
and suspenders
restrict
and constrain
Release
your indemnity
free
—once again

I’m wed to my Poetry,
betrothed to the fire

Each word an incendiary,
burned to inspire

My voice the rekindling,
fueling the scream

The ashes my trousseau 
—a smoldering dream

An intrigued couple in a midnight bloom.Sparks fly,their love consume.Betrothed to
another.What shall we do?For my heart belongs to you.I can not hurt,for this innocent
man.May I bleed out the truth,at the palm of his hand....

The black I bear,
The burden black, 
Betrothed bestowed,
Bewildered Brain,
Brown Disdain,
But White I Bear,
The Withered Fear,
The willful woes of domination,
Wake up World,
To wider waves, 
Of hatred in the waning....

For true love the sailor often prayed.
He'd too often been betrayed!
So he searched from sea to sea,
And once on a drunken spree,
Woke up betrothed to a mermaid!

Divorcing the rational
  freedom began

Releasing the spirit
  all can’t—became can

One final decision
  to charge and break through

The future and past
  left betrothed—and untrue

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2018)...

Belonging

  Bonding together now
  Betrothed by day and night     
  Basking in the suns light
  Before the evening scene
  Bid the stars glow tonight
  Bequeath your love to me
  Breathing life in my soul
