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?
...

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

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

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

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.
...

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.
...

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

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

There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream,
The earth, and every common sight,
To me did seem
Apparelled in celestial light,
The glory and the freshness of a dream.
...

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

1.

Thou hast made me endless, such is thy pleasure. This frail vessel thou emptiest again and again, and fillest it ever with fresh life.
...

O thou the last fulfilment of life,
Death, my death, come and whisper to me!
...

Don't turn your back on me
Turn on your beauty
Sparks the ice in you
Whenever you feel free
...

I once was asked concerning love versus hate
Why does it seem that hate is so great?
While hate is a very strong emotion too
Nothing can equal love that is true
...

Perceived love at first sight,
Provide vigour and might,
Against every odds, path right,
Never out of goal keeping in sight,
...

Grand old Canyon Mars on Earth
Precursor to the rebirth
Of more scenic terrains of passion
We explore the umbilical union
...

I am a kind word uttered and repeated
By the voice of Nature;
I am a star fallen from the
Blue tent upon the green carpet.
...

The sky is torn across
This ragged anniversary of two
Who moved for three years in tune
Down the long walks of their vows.
...

Love came late
Or, I came late to Love

There I’ve said it.

I co-officiated a three generation wedding yesterday…
My son Bryan co-officiated with me….
and since it was my grandsons wedding…
in terms of generations that makes three.
...

Two days after the hurricane…walking on the causeway…right before our eyes
we were greeted on that morning…by a beautiful sunrise.

It seemed to us the earth…even though parts of her were destroyed
...

Just from the blues you stared at me as if nothing ever happened in between us, even when I smiled you seemed not to be moved but in return you gave me that long look that guilted my conscience making me search deep inside me for may be I had wronged you
But why does this have to happen on the eve day to our wedding?

You hugged and laid on my broad chest and I held you back.

I was blessed to officiate at our son (Ryan's) and his now wife (Amy's) wedding yesterday…the only person at the wedding who was turned the other way.

From my unique perspective I was acutely and proudly aware
of Amy…of Ryan…of our families…and of all their friends and families seated there.

When my soul is wedded to divine,
My incomplete life will become whole,
This wedding will create the fusion,
Of my soul with my source divine,

My Wedding Day!
Today reminds me of my Wedding Day;
37 Wedding Days have I celebrated of 41 Wedding Days;
My past life with my late wife is a fast one indeed
...

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.
