Love Wedding Poems and Vows

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

Wedding Toast
St.
John tells how, at Cana's wedding feast, The water-pots poured wine in such amount That by his sober count There were a hundred gallons at the least.
It made no earthly sense, unless to show How whatsoever love elects to bless Brims to a sweet excess That can without depletion overflow.
Which is to say that what love sees is true; That this world's fullness is not made but found.
Life hungers to abound And pour its plenty out for such as you.
Now, if your loves will lend an ear to mine, I toast you both, good son and dear new daughter.
May you not lack for water, And may that water smack of Cana's wine.
by Richard Wilbur

I Shall Not Burn
I have done with love and lust, I reck not for gold or fame; I await familiar dust These frail fingers to reclaim: Not for me the tiger flame.
Not for me the furnace glow, Rage of fire and ashen doom; To sweet earth my bones bestow Where above a lowly tomb January roses bloom.
Fools and fools and fools are you Who your dears to fires confide; Give to Mother Earth her due: Flesh may waste but bone will bide,-- Let loved ones lie side by side.
Let God's Acre ever dream; Shed your tears and blossoms bring; On age-burnished bone will gleam Crucifix and wedding ring: Graves are for sweet comforting.
Curst be those who my remains Hurl to horror of the flames!
by Robert William Service

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.

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

We Walked In Oak Cliff
We walked in oak cliff Down a street, Rosemount I believe a house, a dream we released this home It breathes,now underneath plastic, siding we conceive a life, a child That’s her room she could play My studio With windows build a entry way windows the kind that stick and resist Your fist on the frame But life exists In wood floors A scratch, on buffet what stories they tell what treasures in age

My Wedding Day
When I meet you Will you make us two I promise always to be true Ever faithful, through and through Walk hand in hand when troubles anew Down wrong paths, your goals to pursue The bond we have, will always accrue Aisle parade for our wedded debut

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.

In Private Space
The things little things I can adore keep me wanting to reach a shore of you, a ending place beginning door through a key hole climb see you traced in life in private space

Beauty (A.G.)
Sitting alone in the sand dreaming The wind blowing, the waves crashing, it's all so beautiful But despite all of this, my mind is fixed on you Your eyes blue like the clear summer sky Your smile even prettier than all the sunsets combined This nature on the beach is nothing compared to you

Love Like Ours
Like a feather We are twined togther Like a kite We will take a long flight And see a beautiful sight Like a bird We will glide through the skies And there will be no lies To disguise our eyes And fly from above and below We will bestow our love forevermore LIke the sea There will be no ending and no beginning To the current that moves us Through the troubled waters To the waves that smoothes and soothes us Through the end of our days LIke I saw you from the beginning My love for you will not have an ending
