Titanium Wedding Rings
By Handsum-Hart

While I was sleeping in my tuxedo pajamas
With two titanium wedding rings
Shining in my dreams;
My lady of love from beyond
The coastal rock slopes of Norway
Stood at her full romantic height
And arrayed herself
In a sunset purple wedding gown
Made from virgin mulberry silk

Then at zero hundred hours
With the stars of the Little Dipper as listeners,
In a voice softer than the sound
Of her stardust speckled hair
Blowing in the wind
She whispered “will you marry me”
Into the holy fabric of my heart

With love-stained hands
Arrayed in fingerless bridal gloves
She removed the titanium wedding rings
From my dreams
And placed one upon my finger
As I in harmony
Place one upon her finger

On this night of nights
With the stars of the Big Dipper as onlookers,
Forever was the mating of our hearts
As husband and wife
