I want to bring you home in your wedding dress,
Like a beautiful flower to sunlight,
I want you in your best,
My queen.
I have a ring size,
It's just your perfect fit,
Now all I am asking is:
Will you marry me?
I want to wake with scents of you,
With troubles and doubts really being few,
I want to make you meals,
Soups, quick chops and sometimes, stew.
I have a ring size,
It's just your perfect fit,
Now all I am asking is:
Will you marry me?
Yes we would bask in this wine called love,
Mate for life like little turtle doves,
A madness for affection,
One we'll need no cure.
I have a ring size,
It's just your perfect fit,
Now all I am asking is:
Will you marry me?
I speak a language,
One only your body understood,
A tongue you spoke,
One only I could interpret.
I have a ring size,
It's just your perfect fit,
Now all I am asking is:
Will you marry me?
The wedding ring is
Worn on left fourth finger part
Sign close to the heart.
What you’ve bothered to pick
Is a heartbreak topic:
The mind Ended Love warps
And on one’s folly harps;
Just as heat could man burst
Still, Heartbreak Is the worst…
Men file in, bed defile,
You’re with an office file.
Joan does not claim it’s right
But expects not a fight.
You’d delayed wedding ring;
So, with Guys face The Ring…
You’d never known women!
I’ve not ruled them “vermin’’.
oh, hysteria
thought my wedding ring was lost
found, how very boss

WEDDING RING
GOLDEN
OLDEN
OCTOBER 21, 2019
E-ach day, put on the wedding ring,
D-on't hide it from the sunlight;
W-ear it wherever you are,
I-n the middle of the
N-ight.
&
J-ust put on the wedding ring,
O-r the love will slowly fade;
R-emain faithful forever,
I-nstead of being afraid.
A-pril nineteenth Wednesday,
R-emember your day of marriage;
A-n anniversary is important,
R-egardless of your age.
A-fter years of living together,
C-ouple's union is a blessing;
A-im to last a lifetime,
P-ut on the wedding ring.
Monkey wedded a baboon
in the Banana temple it was
squirrel was presiding clergy
Monkey sat and meditated;
“No, to a ring in my fingers
My toes are dirty and clumsy
The ears are a shapeless beef
What exactly should I do?
Now, I know the best option
Ring must be worn there
There, there in my long tail
I can hide it between my legs
and deny having wedded
before my monkey girlfriends
Hurray, I have the best vision”
And so it happened as she chose
He wore wedding ring in the tail
But every time he wore it got lost
Whenever her husband asked;
“Why can’t you keep the ring safe?
She answered smiling;
“Whatever happens behind me,
Surely cannot be my concern”.
Wedding Ring
I don’t have a thing
But I have this ring
Promise of love and everlasting
A true pact from God’s blessing
A smile in my heart that's never-ending
Enjoy every moments that's inspiring
Coz with my family, life is worth living
I can do everything
Even I don’t have a thing
The wedding ring is missing
one can see only empty ring finger
Though wedding gown, shoes still on,
no one knows where the ring went
The oath solemnly taken at holy altar,
wedding kisses made in public view,
and the hope that followed the event,
have vanished without trace and truth.
In place of ring there is a dry weed.
In place of wedding kiss there is fury.
In place of solemn oath there is curse.
In place of wedding joy there are tears
The officiating clergy looks on in fear.
Bride now divorced, sing funeral songs.
Her children, relatives, friends in agony,
vow never to be fooled and dumped
Africa where grooms fix wedding rings,
make holy oaths, kiss for convenience,
then abandon brides to their cruel fates,
make weddings into play games of lies.
If the land of wedding jokes glorifies lies,
then how can the wedding ring matter?
So my super decided
He’d break down the wall.
He’d recover my ring
With no problem at all.
First he smashed down the back
Of the closet behind
Where the bathtub resides
(And the ring was confined).
But he couldn’t quite reach
So the hole kept on growing.
I wasn’t relaxed
With the way things were going.
I tried to say, “Stop!”
But more workers arrived,
All convinced that my wedding ring
Surely survived.
As I paced and regretted
Allowing this folly,
The super extracted my ring –
Oh, my golly!
I burst into tears
Not believing my luck,
Amazed that my ring
Wasn’t vanished or stuck.
I looked up a jeweler
Who shined it to gleaming
And almost believed
All this time I’d been dreaming.
The ending is happy
So I’m not complaining
But this is one day
That was totally draining.
My wedding ring is very plain.
It’s just a band of gold
And with its mate, it’s like my marriage –
Thirty-nine years old.
We chose our rings and had them then
Inscribed with words intended
To last a lifetime; substitutes
Are rarely recommended.
That ring is like a part of me
So I cannot explain
How in the shower, it slipped off
And tumbled down the drain.
We tried to get it back. Alas,
It seems to be quite gone.
I shed some tears and still feel sad
But life and love go on.
I’ll search for a replacement and
The moment that I choose it,
My husband’s new inscription will be,
“This time – do not lose it!”
Resting Ancestors,
Far from Science,
But the fathers of social science,
Traditions and beliefs,theories of their science,
From rise to demise,
Marriage plays in between,
Bride and bride groom,
Bridging a gold ring,
Round like the moon,no ending surround,
Between in and out a tiny wall stands,
Many curves and many bends like Iceland,
In and out,curves and bends teaching some concepts,
To all the brides and grooms to accept-
Come in as we send out I,
Give in take out,
Joy in sorrow out,
Reaching the curves and bends,
Learn-
To turn!

" one piece of diamond ring,"
leads to a milestone journey.

** 6th place Winner**
For years it shone gold
Brightening a lonely home
Left home for a walk
Late hubby’s ring was stolen
What thief could be so heartless
*This just happened to me.
Written March 31, 2014 for Chris’s contest
I've heard the music a smile secretly sings
And the sudden thunder a teardrop brings
No beginning or ending round a golden wedding ring
Together love and time keep on turning
It takes but one breath to keep on living
When your dreams and sorrows become the same thing
Empty eyes open there for the forgiving
Then memories invade, night becomes morning
Like the ring we wear, no beginning or end
We search to see where this journey shall send
Apart we are halfed neither night or day
Where nothing can grow, shall it be that way?
