Valentine
Not a red rose or a satin heart.
I give you an onion.
It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.
It promises light
like the careful undressing of love.
Here.
It will blind you with tears
like a lover.
It will make your reflection
a wobbling photo of grief.
I am trying to be truthful.
Not a cute card or a kissogram.
I give you an onion.
Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips,
possessive and faithful
as we are,
for as long as we are.
Take it.
Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding-ring,
if you like.
Lethal.
Its scent will cling to your fingers,
cling to your knife.
by Carol Ann Duffy
Wedded Bliss
The deed has been done.
Our new life has begun.
Single life won't be missed.
I'm filled with wedded bliss.
A wondrous new beginning.
Inside my heart is singing.
I'm never looking back.
You've made my soul relax.
Each new day we grow together.
Everyday has sunny weather.
I've never known love as pure as this.
I feel drunk and full of wedded bliss.
With you, I have no reason to doubt.
You make me whole, inside and out.
Facing the future, together we stand.
Walking life's roads, hand in hand.
Street Window
THE PAWN-SHOP man knows hunger,
And how far hunger has eaten the heart
Of one who comes with an old keepsake.
Here are wedding rings and baby bracelets,
Scarf pins and shoe buckles, jeweled garters,
Old-fashioned knives with inlaid handles,
Watches of old gold and silver,
Old coins worn with finger-marks.
They tell stories.
by Carl Sandburg
Will You Wear My Ring
Will you wear my ring
you know what that means
I love you
for the rest of my life
just say you'll be my wife
it tells the world
how much I love you
and I know you already do
will you wear my ring
it's a perfect understanding
we can love each other
forever
never apart
from one another's heart
it means everything
will you wear my ring
To My Husband
You've always been there for me
Right from the start.
Everything you do
Comes straight from the heart.
When I think of you
My heart fills with love.
And this feeling my dear
Is what life is made of.
You've given me passion, love,
And total bliss.
And all it took
Was just one kiss.
I knew from the moment
I first lay eyes on you
That a life without you in it
Would just never do.
I am honored that you chose me
To be your wedded wife,
And by your side I'll stay
For the rest of my life.
I Love You
A Hollow Feather As An Exclamation Point
I am flying
I am screaming over the world with a light heart
Eternity just seems inadequate tonight
Just lying here so unaware of everything
This is so much more than nothing
These stars came out just for us
I can't think of anything other than you here with me
A Possession of Stars
so cherished you are
a possession of stars
the galaxy's mass
confined in my heart
so cherished the pride
a sky open wide
folds in a pocket
soft in my side
So cherished the bliss
a ocean's abyss
weight of the deep
contained in a kiss
so cherished the night
all mountains of height
bend over trees
witness the sight
so cherished you are
possession of stars
the galaxy's vast
space in my heart
Baby You My Heart
Baby you the key to my heart
The love to my soul
I hear your voice every were i go
When i close my eye i see you in my vision
My intuition setting like stint version
I know my mind never play tricks on me
That how i know you the one for me
I swear i feel it, Honestly
I dont know if you have a thing for me
Dang I speak blasphemy
I know i anit the man you lookinh for
But i you give a chance
Ill be the man you always dream of
The Key To the Heart
It's something meant to cherish,
And is guarded, Oh, so well.
The contents one will find inside
Reflect this foreign cell.
On its door contains a lock
Made entirely of solid gold.
Only one is able to open it
And find treasures unforetold.
Some hold tightly to its value
And they keep it close to heart,
While others may give it freely
Right off from the very start.
The thought to hold onto to
Guide you through each day,
Is to wait for that treasure
Of equal value, to exchange
On one's wedding day.
The Question
I sit in my chair lifeless
Knowing your not there
I look back on the memories
Seeing all you did was care
I never see you anymore
Just in my heart and mind
Wishing I could see you again
Waiting for the day where I can rewind
Back to where we met
I would confess my love to you
And never ever let you go
Then do what I wanted to do
This is very hard to say
But this is how much I want us to be
And I want to spend the rest of my life with you
Sweetheart will you marry me
Our Wedding Day
Though we have no expectations
we're committed to our love
as we stand upon life's altar
be for the Lord above
O blend us Lord together
'neath the heaven's and sun
each heart unto the other
'till we become as one
And in thy Mighty Power Lord
set angels 'round about
to seal our love forever
and to keep the world without
Then across the mighty heavens write
for all the world to see
all you have placed within our hearts
a loves that comes from thee
The Wedding Ring
This ring means much to me,
Much more than my own finger.
The love in this wedding ring,
Will always and forever linger.
I love you more than myself,
I love you with all my heart.
I love you more than life itself,
I wish that we would never be apart.
The Great evergreen
Best represents our love,
Summer, winter, spring, and fall.
The only thing to stop us,
Is the great God above.
This ring is strong,
For it, I would lose my ring finger.
I'd wear it around my neck,
For the love, will always, and forever linger.
