poetic vow

write it when you feel it

i don't believe in love in first sight, but love at first laugh.

with these words i speak of our love,

so tender and fragile, as pure as a dove.

our story began as simple can be,

sitting in your car, under the stars and trees.

i felt so warm when i looked in your eyes,

when you made me laugh, smile or cry.

quickly i fell but i fell in your arms,

you weren't just another boy, you had that handsome man charm.

a year flew by,

with not a bat of an eye.

i can't wait to marry, start a life of our own,

another year, we're buying our dream home.

a home to start a life, a home to grow old,

this isn't even half of the story told.

in sickness, in health, rich or poor,

with you my love, i will never grow bored.

my best friend, my lover, my warmth, my all,

with you my love, i know i will never fall.

when i spoke of you, it was always "husband to be,"

right here in this moment, it's my husband and me.

this kiss one of the most memorable, although time will pass,

i will remember it forever, but it will not be our last.

now let this very ceremony,

welcome us to holy matrimony. 

forever and always, i give all my love to you,

thank you my love for making my grey skies blue.

Not something all can relate to (I'm sure its a personal poem anyway) but you wrote this very well and expressed yourself in a loving way.

Are you serious? I thought you had been writing for years! I think its good to capture your thoughts in the night. They don't always come so easy. Glad I read your poem. Keep writing, you have talent.
