A Wedding Vow
Corpulent cottagers clapping like clowns
a fat Friday festival, gobblers and gowns.
Merry mad munchers of muffins and mirth
do-si-do dumbly, eaters of earth.
Champagne sugar shoved in a shoe
If love lasts not long, love handles will do.
Vow & Energy Renewal
so much behind us -
may the next thirty-five years. . .
go slow and easy!

We Stand Together
Who would have thought
We'd be standing here today
This road was hard fought
We made it anyway
Now we stand before God
And we start our new life
As we battle the odds
I'm glad to become your wife
I vow to love you
You vow to love me
To honor and cherish
And to love eternally
As man and woman
We stand separate
As husband and wife
We stand together
Taffeta, Lace and Silk
A vow of lies I should never have said,
Two words I wish I’d saved for me and you;
My wasted innocence on the wedding bed
Defiled the words of love that say ‘I do’.
A distant regret now haunts my mind, you see,
While watching you walking down towards me;
My vision of taffeta, lace and silk
Tainted by a past of the devil’s milk.
I seek your smile beneath the bridal veil,
My comfort before promises are made
And I give my heart as regrets now fade.
Later when I sip from your holy grail
And yield to the power of loving spells
I recall the joy of our wedding bells.
The Sordid Affair
There's money___then there's love
Looking back at him __desiring
Brief encounters above
Husband's comments deriding
So handsome fire__home ice
Guilt, shame, remorse____desire
One last glimpse maybe twice
Marriage but children__can't transpire
Inner turmoil__wishing
Should I walk away now
Turn turn around running
We'll say the wedding's vow
My Wedding Vow To You!
Falling from the heavens, my beautiful angel. To save me when I'm in danger
and I to the. For in god's wishes we would meet and fall in love. And marry here
today with each other in our arm's. Stay with me here, never stray. And I will love
you for the rest of my living and dyeing day's. Let it be known that until my soul
passes into another life and even after. My love for you will last forever.
License To Love
I would in deed thee truly wed
Token drops of blood for you bled
Lavish garlands at your feet spread
Kneeling at your feet all pretense shed
Vow that by virtue and fealty be led
Each promise proofed and carefully read
Barter my name in your stead
Banish all pretexts; to self dead
A humble leader not trite figurehead
In your footsteps softly tread
Feast on your hospitality; in your graces bred
Share your trials; vanquish your dread
Cultivate your esteem; nourish your bed
Furnish your homestead; provide your bread
Marriage
Is a sacred vow
With sincerity n love
Between two people
Intertwining them
As one entity, unit
Through words written
N said out loud
As loved one’s n family gather
Watching two lives
Intertwine forever
My Vow
You are my chosen
First in my life forever
My heart won't forget

First Night Is Sweet
The first night is sweet
Give and take makes it sweeter
For the vow to last,
Love is the answer, mending…
