Bliss ~ Bride #6

The sun-kissed moon's glow on a starry night, ablaze with the passion of orbital flight,

the lapping of waves on a pristine beach, delighting the senses with lulling speech;

a kiss like a butterfly delicately perched on petals of flowers so soft, unbesmirched.

The tickle of breeze on a warm sunny day, the earth's pungent smell of the field as we lay ...

Sweet memories, my darling, such things we have shared, the love we now pledge as our hearts' are laid bared;

and if we shall wish for a rich lifelong dream, may bliss fill our days like a flowing stream.

Simply ~ Bride #5

Love given, love gained ... simply.

Trust bestowed, trust begot ... simply.

Devotion pledged, devotion prized ... simply.

Forbearance, forgiveness, faithfulness ... simply.

Benevolence, blessing, benediction ... simply.

Beloved he, beloved she ... together ... simply.

Something Blue ~ Bride #4

Something borrowed, something blue, when I pledge my troth to you.

Nothing fancy or profound, nor a reason to expound;

simply saying "I love you", then a kiss for all to view.
