Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is weddings.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A wedding poem in which the best man is the groom’s brother
and the maid of honor is the bride’s sister:
BEST MAN
Because like roots
we intertwine,
Planted in a single
place,
Your happiness is
also mine,
Deep as love's first
twisting sign
In that most
labyrinthine space.
Because like roots
we intertwine
And each for each
the world designed,
Wrestling towards a
common grace,
Your happiness is
also mine
Though shared in
ways we can't define,
Too close to touch,
too vast to trace.
Because like roots
we intertwine,
Obliterating every
line
That might divide
our long embrace,
Your happiness is
also mine
As you with nuptial
vows combine,
And with your loved
one lines erase.
Like roots, your
lives will intertwine.
Then let your
happiness be mine!
MAID OF HONOR
Because like roots
we intertwine,
Living in a long
embrace,
Your happiness is
also mine,
Spilling over, just
as wine
Must flood the
heart's too narrow space.
Because like roots
we intertwine
And each for each
must life define
In ways too myriad
to trace,
Your happiness is
also mine,
A joy that knows no
boundary line,
Nor limit to its
golden grace.
Because like roots
we intertwine
And over years did
love refine,
Planted in our
single place,
Your happiness is
also mine
As you with nuptial
vows combine,
And with your loved
one lines erase.
Like roots, your
lives will intertwine.
Then let your
happiness be mine!
