Marriage Ceremony Poem by Dónall Dempsey

Marriage Ceremony

Rating: ★2.8


“Do you...
(Donall Donall)

take this woman’s body
to have & to hold

to totally transform
by the bliss

of loving her? ”

“I do...I do! ”

“Do you...
(Janice A. Windle)
take this man

to tease & to tempt
to tantalise beyond

all human endurance

so that he almost
expires from the ecstasy

of your loving arms? ”

“I do...I do too! ”


“You may now
make love.”

You've taken more than my body, Donall. And given me more than yours, too. We're talking serious love here. x
