The Wedding

The Wedding

I can hardly believe that I'm standing here

I'm shivering

My heart beat drums out in fear

The speaking of the priest is soft and seems vague

You are the only thing that is clear

Our fingers are interlocked

The weather is pleasant and cool

But for where our hands touch it is warm and hot

I had written my vows down

But now I have forgotten

We're on the alter facing the crowd

Its unorthodox but I bend to my knee

Take you hand in mine and whisper softly

You will never know how much I love you

There is not enough in our lives for me to explain

But I will spend mine trying to show you a glimpse

Of a love of which none other is the same

If I should die prematurely

Let you say that no other could love you like I did

I swear on the flutter of our first borns eyelid

A promise more memorable than our baby's first words

That I will exist everyday to be the man that you deserve

I stand back on my feet and await the priest

After an eternity it seems

The words we have waited for, he finally speaks

“You may kiss the bride”

Inwards we lean

And let our lips seal

A contract that our hearts have drafted

And even when they separate let it be known our hearts shall never be parted

A nice ending to the poem.
“You may kiss the bride”
Inwards we lean
And let our lips seal
A contract that our hearts have drafted
And even when they separate let it be known our hearts shall never be parted'
After first sweet kiss and promise of forever. Life begin. Thank you my friend for sharing the excellent poetry.

A very descriptive poem. I particularly loved the closing lines. Well done. X
