Psonnets of Courtship
To My Future Wife

I am awaiting your anointed kiss
to touch my lips, to light my tongue aflame,
that when I draw away to speak your name,
I speak believing God appointed this.
Then we will learn of God that marriage is
what two, one flesh, unblameably became
before the man and woman knew of shame
when we are joined together, our love His.
For bride and groom, the loved and reverent,
shall enter into vows, a narrow gate
which opens to a way more excellent,
to promises we patiently await
until our love and purity consent
and unashamedly shall consummate.
