Poems for Newly-Weds

The meeting, the courtship, the wedding and the honeymoon have all now been completed.

Having got this far the real journey lays before every married couple seeking the love, stability, support and joys of a long-term relationship. The state of the newly-weds is now at hand. The meeting of minds and the living together can become a source of friction or ignition to a deeper understanding. Physically the very first blush of lust and desire is replaced by an understanding that life and our own biological and emotional clocks, for some, may now require that children be brought into the mix and families raised.

Yes, that interlude when the bliss of being a newly-wed-announced and seen as such to a wider society-really doesn't last that long. Time to savour the days and nights of love's sweet wonder.

Our classic poets, of course, have much to say and advise on. With the storied likes of Christopher Marlowe, Khalil Gibran, Charlotte Bronte, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and even George Orwell then the listener is in wise and knowing hands.
