“Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.” ― William Wordsworth


Love & Romance

Bound Hearts

The rising moon will see tonight
 The love that we express.
And in its light we'll bond our hearts
 With love that we confess.

Together we'll cement the vows
 No man should dare untie.
And then our hearts will spread their wings,
 Inducing them to fly.

So take my hand and sail with me
 Toward the waiting sky.
And there we'll seal our marriage vows,
 Forevermore to tie.

And when the dawn embraces us,
 Our feet will kiss the ground.
United in eternal love,
 We'll be forever bound.

Behind the Verse

When composing this poem, I had in mind the day my wife and I were wed. I fondly remember that day. I am thankful to have found someone who is not only my wife but also my best friend.
