Me And My Sweetheart Are Tying The Knot

Me And My Sweetheart Are Tying The Knot

A Poem by BlackPrince
"

celebrate love

"

Friends, book the hall, order the dress

and suit, buy sweet fruits and flowers,

make a phone call, inform our guests:

the after-party's on for hours,

with Slow Jam and non-stop Hip Hop.

Me and my sweetheart are tying the knot!


Spread the word to town and village,

that love is being celebrated

in sacred rituals of marriage

where two souls are initiated,

their names inscribed on precious rock.

Me and my sweetheart are tying the knot!


Soul-love is the same everywhere:

in the heart of prince or peasant,

we all want tender love and care

that is true, mutual and pleasant,

in the castle or ghetto block.

Me and my sweetheart are tying the knot!


Let there be a long procession

spilling on the street and pavement

the champagne of the reception,

murmuring joy and amazement,

eating chicken wings and the lot!

Me and my sweetheart are tying the knot!


Yes, we'll jump the proverbial broom.

Bride and groom will live out their dreams!

We will think of the honeymoon

so soon, we'll rush to wear our rings,

to consummate the cream of the crop!

Me and my sweetheart are tying the knot!


I was made for her, she for me

before the world even began;

that's how love feels for souls who'll be

sharing roof and bed, living as one.

It's the kind of love hate can't stop.

Me and my sweetheart are tying the knot!

I like how there is a consistent celebratory tone through the poem. And the way you write reminds me so much of old famous poets I really love the way it sounds when I read it. I also like how you revert to the same last line on each stanza and rhyme. Very well written.

If you write her poetry like this, she is very lucky! This is the third of your poems I've read and I love them all. I like the repeated last line, it's very joyous. I like repetition too, for tying a poem together

So sweet! This is a reminder to us all what loving can feel like; that overwhelming joy that just makes you want to dance and sing. May we all experience it and celebrate it :)

This was beautiful. I can feel the happiness and love flowing from each and every word. It ran through me like I was watching a happy couple smile in while holding each other. I was almost in tears by the end.

The poem itself really feels like a celebration. You can’t help but read it with a smile and get a little excited. It exudes joy, and I’m very glad to have read it!
