i wrote this for my cousin and his wife when they got married.. -------------------- My Love, You are the dream That bids me sleep And the morning To which I rise... This day, I become yours-- Not as possession, But to hold That I may dance, hold me loosely As the air embracing a flame If I should shake, hold me surely As an Angel guarding my soul Come to me with your laughter That I might touch your heaven Reach for me in your sorrow That I may help slay the demon From this day forward You are harmony to my song My only love, You are the dream That whispers, follow-- And the sun Which bids me wake... --dgvarner "A Poet's life is on written page; a scenario to take the stage--watch..." dgvarner |

That I may dance,hold me loosely As the air embracing a flame Those lines are spine tingling,and charged with such power,the precis of a successful partnership. That is wonderful Jon |

This would be beautiful wedding vows. I like the way the couple are described, not as possessions of each other, but as entities to hold closely, like an encircled flame. |

This is very touching, makes me long for that kind of love. I also enjoyed your other poems posted here. (the few that I have read, this is my first visit here) Look forward to many more. |

I was just browsing around and found this. It's so lovely, I just had to bring it up again. What a beautiful gift! To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |
