Stepping out from the shadows
Letting the world see us
For what we are and have
We hold hands as love holds us
So nothing or no one
Will steal it away
As we walked down the broken roads
The broken people watched us
With envy and secret wishes
The sun beams touch us
Warming our skin
As love burns inside
Our only object in sight
Are the fruits of love
In a pilgrimage togetherness
How feeble is mankind’s power
Compared to love
In the place of a higher spirit
We advance to a higher state
Saying vows fair and true
Making her the best of me
And me the best of her
In a union of love
To accompany one another
Through all that is life
And as we grow old
With snowy white hair
May we become sojourners
Breathing our last breath
Of love together
Only to dwell forever
In the spirit of love

I would like to translate this poem
you capture matrimony so well, Mark. i don't know if Mark is your real first name since you are also 'Deviant' but I don't see anything deviant about you poetry, at least this one. 'breathing our last breath of love together' - that's enough for me. Excellent, Mark, excellent (and that's not because you're namesake (if you're really Mark)
