[Poem - With Audio] Our Union
Our marriage union has made one of two,
You’re in me and I’m in you.
The both of us are cast in single,
Essentially one, in essence we mingle.
Our joining a fact, and not empty tradition.
Our marriage a truth, and not just a condition,
But a loving rapport, that’s nurtured in care,
We merge in our feelings, and in empathy share.
With no meaningless trappings, we love in simplicity,
With faith in the other, each trusting implicitly,
Our affection stays healthy, strong, and so pure.
Commitment’s the key, our foundation so sure.
Behold now the wonder of this our relation,
Two become one, behold now our station.
It’s no little thing, to be taken for granted,
But a marvelous state, and a union enchanted.
With no dread for the future, and expecting the best,
We walk in assurance and in certainty, rest.
With no fear for our love, that some nameless will take it,
We live, knowing whatever happens, we’ll make it.
Note: I've been encouraged by some of the feedback I've gotten, so my plan is to continue re-posting poems from the last several months, but now including an audio clip going forward. I'll also be sprinkling in some new (or at least previously unpublished) poems here and there.
After few days, i come back again. and listening your poem. very nice brother.
Great piece and a superb reading! I really liked the themes of oneness and simplicity you relayed in the poem. Thanks for sharing it.
It's funny you should mention: I've been thinking about doing the same thing with publishing the audio. Most of my poems are written to be spoken word, and I have published a few of them here using soundcloud, but other are just in print. It would be good to put them out again.
Thanks! And if you decide to move forward with posting audio of your poetry, I look forward to hearing from you!
Marriage make people together two mind makes one... make a Union
