Wedding Vow

No gods, no laws, no justice,
But only you and I
With only earth below us
- above us sky.
Is love enough between us,
If all we have is love?
Without a higher edifice,
Is love enough?
Is love enough - love and bane -
Without devine direction,
Or hope for any soul to gain
Resurrection?

If you know these lives and love
We share across the sands
Is all and brief - but still enough -
Then take my hands;
And let our lives have one lathe:
Our thoughts for one another.
And vow your energy and faith
To no other;
But hold me in this limbo lour,
With earth below, above - the sky,
And love between us - nothing more -
Expecting but to love and then to die.
