Wedding Poems

Where are you, my beloved? Are you in that little
Paradise, watering the flowers who look upon you
As infants look upon the breast of their mothers?
...

Star, that gives a gracious dole,
What am I to choose?
Oh, will it be a shriven soul,
Or little buckled shoes?
...

Hear the sledges with the bells-
Silver bells!
What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
...

With two white roses on her breasts,
White candles at head and feet,
Dark Madonna of the grave she rests;
Lord Death has found her sweet.
...

It is an ancient Mariner,
And he stoppeth one of three.
`By thy long beard and glittering eye,
Now wherefore stopp'st thou me ?
...

I have done it again.
One year in every ten
I manage it----
...

The cherry trees bend over and are shedding,
On the old road where all that passed are dead,
Their petals, strewing the grass as for a wedding
This early May morn when there is none to wed.
...

You always read about it:
the plumber with the twelve children
who wins the Irish Sweepstakes.
From toilets to riches.
...

O marriage-bells, your clamor tells
Two weddings in one breath.
SHE marries whom her love compels:
-- And I wed Goodman Death!
...

The construction of a woman:
a woman is not made of flesh
of bone and sinew
belly and breasts, elbows and liver and toe.
...

I can't describe- and you couldn't begin to understand how much I love him. I can't put it in to words. I want him to be happy and successful in life. He deserves the world in my opinion. I want to hold his face in my hands forever. I want to pick out a wedding dress for our wedding. I want to pack lunches for our children. I want to pay bills on our house. I want to gather on holidays with our family. I want the world to be ours.
...

There's not a wedding ring upon her finger
A tattooed one is there instead,
Of a memory in her mind that will forever linger
"When I'll love you forever", he once said.
...

On their wedding night they both made a secret wish…he told her that's what newly married couples do…"and your wish is never to be revealed, " he said, "until that wish comes true".

They each thought about their wish a moment…then, with a smile on each face they wrote their secret wish down…and found a secret hiding place.
...

I think it's time for a white wedding;
For at the window, sunset's reddening!
Late in our love; we've loved long-
Deeply in love, our love is song.
...

Is this love
when celebrities marry
and choose exorbitant wedding dresses
wedding venues, wedding receptions?
...

I just realized how the end of June has snuck up ….on me!
It's time again for a "showcase", which to YOU I give out free! !
So from my desk inkwell I pull out my Big Red Goose Quill …..
to compose a poem; I try to entertain you all.I hope this will.
...

You are one lucky girl
It must be pretty special
Could be so stunning
Wedding gown, husband, priest
...

The summer I turned 14 my grandmother got me totally smashed at a wedding in New Jersey
And somewhere in between that 4th glass of champagne and the 5th Abba song
She turned to me and said, "someday you're gonna have a wedding just like this,
And when you do, please, don't let them play any disco.
...

I will be sober on my wedding day,
my eggs uncracked inside my creel,
my tongue sleeping in her tray.

I will lift my breast to pay
babies with their liquid meal,
I will be sober on my wedding day.

With my hands, I'll part the hay,
nest inside the golden reel,
my tongue sleeping in her tray.

I'll dance with cows and cloying-grey,
spin my grassy roulette wheel,
I will be sober on my wedding day.

I'll crash to muddy knees and pray,
twist the sheets in tortured zeal,
my tongue sleeping in her tray.

Church-bells shudder on the bay,
fingered winds impel the deal:
I will be sober on my wedding day,
my tongue sleeping in her tray.
