1. Title: “O My Luve’s Like a Red, Red Rose”

Oh, my love is like a crimson rose,
In June, its bloom so sweetly shows.
Oh, my love is like a melody,
Softly played in perfect harmony.

As fair art thou, my lovely lass,
In love so deep, our spirits amass.
I’ll love thee still, my dearest dear,
Till all the seas cease to appear.

Till all the seas dry up, my dear,
And rocks dissolve in sunlight sheer;
I’ll love thee still, my dearest dear,
While the sands of life continue near.

Farewell, my only love, adieu!
A while we part, but I’ll pursue.
I’ll come again, my love, to prove,
Though it be ten thousand miles to move.

2. Title: “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love”

Come, dwell with me, and be my love,
We’ll savor all the pleasures thereof.
In valleys, groves, on hills and fields,
In woods or on mountains, joy reveals.

We’ll rest upon the rugged rocks,
Witness shepherds tending their flocks.
By rivers, where gentle waters flow,
Melodious birds in madrigals glow.

I’ll fashion beds adorned with roses,
And gather posies, fragrance composes.
A cap of flowers, a kirtle so fine,
Embroidered with leaves of myrtle entwined.

Shepherds and swains shall dance and sing,
Each May morning, a joyful spring.
If these delights your soul may prove,
Then live with me and be my love.

3. Title: “Roll on the Wedding!”

The band’s secured, the cake’s been baked,
Photographer chosen, each bill partaken.
Guests determined, menu set in view;
Borrowed, old, and blue—check, check, check too.

Stationery’s ordered, flowers all in place,
Favors done after hours of creative grace.
Stag do’s a haze, same for the hen,
Won’t be consuming that much again!

Dress chosen, accessories acquired,
No more scheduling, nothing else required.
After endless lists for over a year,
Time to unwind; the big day is near!

Here with my girls as hair gets styled,
Feeling fortunate to have found ‘the one’ compiled.
Just think, come lunchtime, his new wife I’ll be!
Bring on the wedding and our married life spree!

4. Title: “Four Weddings”

In the bloom of youth, dreams shining bright,
On that vivid September day so light.
Parents, family, and friends in cheer,
Urging us along our wedded frontier.

Years fluttered by; a silver hue,
Outshining toil and tears we knew.
Children, family, and friends declare,
Joy in blessed years beyond compare.

Years flew by; a golden sun,
Radiant with love, expectation spun.
Grandchildren, family, and friends unite,
In the glorious celebration of life’s height.

Years marched on; a diamond’s gleam,
Dawning gently in old age’s esteem.
Jewels scattered through our lives’ brief stage,
As we navigate life’s fleeting page.

5. Title: “Proud”

Approaching the dark, welcoming wooden doors,
Music starts, creating an excited uproar.
Nerves surge, remembering the journey’s score,
What it took to reach this day, I adore.

Hidden behind a façade of camaraderie,
Spinning a web of tales, a web of lies.
Unaware eyes watched my love story unfold,
Heart in love, a tale my eyes have told.

Today, I walk with pride,
Approaching you, my beautiful guide.
Awe-struck, your beauty the focus,
Music unheard, crowd unnoticed.

I hold your hand, a perfect fit,
Our connection, cleverly knit.
The most perfect day in my life,
Our civil ceremony, a moment rife.

6. Title: “My Lagan Love”

Where Lagan streams croon lullabies,
A lily fair gracefully sighs.
Twilight’s gleam in her eyes,
Night weaves through her hair, wise.

Like a lovesick sprite so tender,
She ensnares my heart in surrender.
No life, no freedom can I recall,
For love reigns, the sovereign of all.

When the beetle’s horn brings night’s reprieve,
I’ll silently enter her humble reprieve.
In her shelter, lost and forlorn,
Through the doorway, gently I’m drawn.

There, on the cricket’s singing stone,
She tends to the fire with bogwood lone.
Singing sweetly, in undertone,
The melody of heart’s desire is known.

7. Title: “Now Touch the Air Softly”

Now caress the air gently, step softly, one, two,
I’ll love you till roses wear a robin’s-egg blue.
I’ll love you till gravel is a meal in each hand,
And lemons turn orange, lavender paints the land.

Now touch the air gently, sway the broom with grace,
I’ll love you till windows define every space.
Whether the table’s adorned or left stripped and bare,
With the ceiling suspended in limitless air.

I’ll love you till heaven sheds stars from its coat,
And the moon rows away in a glass-bottomed boat.
Orion descends like a river below,
Earth ablaze, oceans with radiant glow.

So touch the air tenderly, raise the broom high,
We’ll dust the grey mountains, sweep the vast sky.
I’ll love you as deep as the plough tills the earth,
For however is always, and forever is now.

8. Title: “Roads Go Ever Ever On”

Paths extend endlessly, ever on,
Over rocks and beneath trees drawn,
By caves where sunlight never kissed,
By streams that in the ocean are missed.

Over winter’s snow freshly sown,
Through the cheerful flowers of June, well grown,
Over grassy fields and hardened stone,
Under moonlit mountains, widely known.

Paths stretch ceaselessly, ever on,
Under clouds and beneath stars that dawn,
Yet, weary feet that roamed free,
Eventually turn to a home they see.

Eyes that witnessed fire and sword’s gleam,
Horror within the halls of stone they’ve seen,
Finally gaze upon meadows so green,
And familiar trees and hills, serene.

9. Title: “To My Valentine”

More than a catbird despises a cat,
Or a criminal scorns a clue like that,
Or the Axis abhors the United States,
That’s how deep my love for you resonates.

I love you more than a duck’s swift swim,
And more than a grapefruit’s juicy whim.
More than a gin rummy becomes a bore,
And more than a toothache’s persistent sore.

As a shipwrecked sailor despises the sea,
Or a juggler loathes an unwelcome shove,
As a hostess disdains unanticipated guests,
That’s the extent of the love I’m speaking of.

I pledge to you under stars above,
And below, if such realms there may be,
As the High Court detests deceitful oaths,
That’s the intensity of your love for me.

10. Title: “I Will Marry You”

Yes, I’ll marry you, my dear, here’s the reason why;
To push you out of bed when the baby starts to cry,
And if a knocking, creepy and late, we hear,
I hand you the torch to see, and you investigate.

Yes, I’ll wed you, my dear, though you may not grasp,
Tumble dryer breaks, you’re the one to clasp.
Against the neighbor, if the Labrador attacks,
And if a drunkard crosses lines, it’s you who reacts.

Yes I’ll marry you, virile and lean,
My house is like a pigsty, help keep it clean.
That sexy little dinner, served by candlelight,
As I do chipolatas, you can cook it every night!

It’s you who works the drill, and puts up curtain track,
And when I’ve got PMT, it’s you who gets the flak,
I see great advantages, but none for you,
So before you see the light, I do, I do, I do!

11. Title: “Here’s To Right Now”

Surrounded by those you hold dear,
All extending wishes sincere.
A new chapter unfolds today,
In the story that’s yours to convey.

We speak of memories yet to be,
Moments shared and ones to see.
Carry them with you, lasting and true,
As your journey together begins anew.

Live in the present as vows are exchanged,
Soak up the moment, emotions unchanged.
This is where the magic ignites,
As you pledge to share your lives.

Here’s to a future, bright and clear,
But more importantly, here and now, my dear.
To cherish this moment, hold it near,
As the start of a lifelong, love-filled sphere.

12. Title: “Take My Hand”

Take my hand, walk beside me,
Down life’s winding path, together and free.
Stand with me, and let us say,
You’re my chosen one, my heart’s chosen way.

With you, I’ll stay and share my life,
No other path, no other strife.
Always by my side, through joy and through tears,
Through the years, the laughter, and the fears.

In this union, may blessings flow,
May we always care enough to grow.
Through our best efforts, we’ll persist,
Ensuring our love is never dismissed.

When our journey concludes, at the very end,
We’ll discover that, as lovers, we transcend.
Through it all, we’ll emerge as friends,
Our bond unbroken, as true love transcends.

13. Title: “Time Travellers”

May you face the world united,
With hopes and dreams ignited.
Be each other’s anchor in the sea,
Whether it’s smooth or stormy.

Bend to the world’s winds and storms,
Find common ground in changing forms.
Cross stubborn boundaries, turn each stone,
Seek haven for your souls, heart, and home.

On grey days and nights cold and long,
Be each other’s sun and moon, strong.
In destinies unfolding, side by side,
Through the ebb and flow of the tide.

If ever you lose sight, drift apart,
Circle back, let your hearts restart.
Follow the compass of love’s embrace,
Uniting again, finding solace and grace.

14. Title: “I Love You Because”

I cherish you for understanding, my dear,
In everything I attempt, always near.
A helping hand you willingly extend,
Most of all, I love you just as you are, my friend.

Despite the world’s opinions that may come my way,
Your love, a constant, guides me day by day.
For your unwavering faith, I’m grateful and true,
But above all, I love you for being simply you.

My heart is lighter when I’m by your side,
You make the future brighter, our happiness your guide.
The door to joy, you’ve swung open wide,
I love you for all this, with love that won’t subside.

Despite what the world may think or say,
Your love remains my steadfast ray.
A hundred thousand reasons, it’s true,
Yet most of all, I love you simply because you’re you.

15. Title: “More Beautiful Than Roses”

Beauty surpassing roses’ grace,
Deeper than the boundless seas we trace.
Stronger than a hurricane’s fierce spin,
Yet gentle, like a breeze that whispers in.

Real as a captured picture’s gleam,
Yet elusive, like a distant dream.
More beautiful than all we’ve seen,
Vivid and real, like a dream serene.

Discovering common ground in strife,
Navigating through disagreements in life.
Yielding in arguments, meeting needs,
A commitment that lovingly leads.

Consistent presence, always near,
An enduring hold, sincere.
Clasping onto forever, love remains true,
A timeless bond, forever anew.
