Five Free Verse Poems About Weddings

1. The Dance of Two Souls

In the arena of life, two souls dare to dance,
In rhythm with a melody called love.
They twirl and sway, in a cosmic ballet,
Underneath the vast, watchful sky above.


Each step, a promise, each twirl, a vow,
In this dance, there is no lead, no follow.
Just two hearts beating, in synchrony,
In a dance that promises no sorrow.


Their silhouettes merge in the soft glow of twilight,
As they dance to the tune of forever.
Bound not by chains, but by threads of love,
In a dance that shall cease, never.

2. The Symphony of Vows

In the silent cathedral of love,
Echoes the symphony of vows,
Promises whispered, in hushed tones,
Beneath the sacred wedding boughs.


“I promise to stand by you,
In joy, in sorrow, in strife.
I promise to hold your hand,
As we journey through this life.”


And as the last note fades away,
In the hallowed halls of time,
Two souls pledge their eternal love,
In a symphony, sublime.

3. The Tapestry of Love

Each thread, a memory,
Each color, an emotion,
Weaves the grand tapestry of love,
In this sacred commotion.


The gold, of laughter shared,
The red, of passion’s flame,
The blue, of tears wiped away,
In this beautiful game.


And as the final thread is woven,
In this tapestry so fine,
Two hearts become one,
In a design, divine.

4. The Garden of Dreams

In the garden of dreams, blooms a flower,
Nurtured by love, rain, and sun’s power.
It blossoms in hues of hope and joy,
In the garden that love did employ.


Petals of promise, stem of trust,
In the garden of dreams, love is a must.
And as the flower blooms, so does love,
In the garden under the sky above.

5. The Journey of Love

A journey begins, with a single step,
Down the aisle, with a heart that’s kept,
Promises made, vows exchanged,
In this journey, everything’s changed.


Hand in hand, side by side,
In this journey, love is the guide.
A journey of a thousand miles,
Begins with a wedding, and endless smiles.
