Vows Ain’t Meant to be Hollow
She stood there in her white dress, boots dusty from the ride,
With a heart as wide as Heaven and her cowboy by her side.
She gave her word before the Lord, with every ounce she had —
To love him through the bitter, and the good, and all the bad.
But storms rolled in like thunder, as they

After Vows
Dulcet whispers, pairs of three,
Enact a dangerous dance.
What on earth is eternal?
Springing up from her stupor,
Tosses her ceremony-
Golden ring of fantasy.
Truth tastes like sun in her throat.

After The Vows
Now that time has past do you feel the same
Or are you arguing and pushing the blame
Are you as attentive as you were when dating
Hopefully your love was sincere and isn't fading
Wasn't it so easy to shout out the words "I Do"
After the vows your partner gets to see the real you
What is it

Wedding poem Wedding Vows
May we forever be lovers,
May we forever be friends,
And should we hurt each other,
May we quickly make amends.
May we enjoy our passion,
But never let compassion die,
Thinking in selfless terms as we,
Never emphasising I.
May we forever be soul-mates,
May our love eternally last,
May the food of love sustain us,
May we never have to fast.
May we use each

Marriage Vows
I take your hand, with heart so true,
To walk through life, just me and you.
In storms or sunshine, joy or pain,
My love for you will not wane.
I vow to cherish, vow to care,
To hold your burdens, always share.
With every breath, through all the years,
I’ll guard your dreams, I'll calm your fears.
I’ll be your shelter in

Samantha’s Unwritten Vows
The aisle stretched longer that day,
a white river with no other shore.
Her fingers crushed the lace of her gown—
Where is he?
The guests’ whispers grew teeth,
gnawing the silence between hymns.
Later, they’d say he was the villain,
the man who fled his own shadow.
No one mentioned the envelope
thick with cash in the sexton’s pocket,
or the father’s wine-stained lips
sealing

If That Wasn't Love
"If that isn't love
The ocean is dry
There's no star in the sky
And the sparrow can't fly
If that isn't love
Then heaven's a myth
There's no feeling like this
If that isn't love"
-Dottie Rambo
How can this screeching ache persist deep in my bowels? Like he's continuing to rip my heart to shreds everyday. The promises we whispered

MOONLIGHT UNDER GLASS
There was the last dance
A final movement of the strs
Through the heavens that
No man can own
The last night before roses
When moonlight performed
on darkened waters
and promises were made
Softly as the moment
That would never come again
The Atlantic was so old
So deep in velvet mystery
And words have never meant much
To sleeping gods
I wish now that Neptune had arisen
His

Eclipsed In Light
"Eclipsed in Light"
The sun grew dim the world stood still
Golden waves bent to our will
The sky was veiled in shadow’s grace
As fate had led us to this place
With whispered vows and steady hands
No crowns no thrones no golden bands
Just fire wind the endless

The Choices She Made
She stood beside him, vows once true,
a promise bright, then burned right through.
She wore his ring, she spoke his name,
but love to her was just a game.
I saw the distance in her eyes,
a quiet hunger wrapped in lies.
Smiles that never reached her face,
a heart already out of place.
She wanted more—what, I don’t know,
something reckless, something

The Wedding Vows of Lucian to his Poetess Silvia
(A lone voice whispers)
Bind me not to only a taste of love
But to true divine friendship
Bind me not to only love
But to the warmth of our wet hungry lips
First thing in the morning
And last thing at midnight
Bind me not to your words of commands to embrace
But to the sweet tranquil noise of two crashing hips
Bind

Marital vows in dust
Stunning beauty! Her face truly was.
She was shaped more like a lovely vase.
Her steps left footprints of lust.
My marital vows, in dust.
Drunkenness painted her with no flaw.
Liquor whispered love to her hearing,
But when she turned, beer stopped its cheering.
Booze brewed my sins with bare hands!
My shame buried in the sands.
Then, devil took over the steering.
