The Vows That Bind
From The Workshop Collection
When I think about luck,
Based on chance ending up stuck
Defined as fate
An evening date
Where we both took two-way luring bait
And found a relationship that was great
Today I am in my tuxedo formal black
You are wearing white stating an honest fact
We welcome our family here
Offering, honest tears
A unity together
Suppose to last forever
Since it is you and me
Do you agree?”
“Yes, my love
I am at peace innocent as a dove
Flying around
In my wedding gown
Getting things complete
Fighting off emotional desire heat
While you, with buddies having fun
Celebrating the conquest, that is one and done
After we state our vows
Kissing to applause without a stage bow
Committed saying ‘I do’
And wearing rings that are true”
Later in the night
When romance flamed without a fight
Questions asked
About the pairs past
Now locked by ball and chain
Not supposed to complain
“Perhaps it is,
Better not to be, a Miss,”
She debatably sighed
Legally tied
By a spiritual esquire
Laying in the bed, sweating, and perspired
From interacting with each other
No worries now about being a mother
Next morning came
Both acted the same
Playing life’s game
Hotel serving complimentary bangers and mash
Bride counted her garter cash
Wishing both luck on the honeymoon
Vacation for the engaging couple soon
Driving away, car saying ‘Just Married’
She came to the reality grip, her life is with a guy name ‘Larry’
But it was better than the lonely honoring maiden
Who is still waiting
For the credit card to clear
Taking care of the payment for all the cheer
In a business world
Where boy meets girl
Taking time
Before signing the bottom line
Confirming that is all
To the Gentlemen making a call
And the fortunate lady winning the bachelor brawl
