Irish Vow Poem by Za7ra Sulaiman

Irish Vow

Rating: 5.0

may you never steal,
lie,
or cheat.

but if you must steal—
then steal away
my sorrow.

if you must lie—
then lie with me,
every night
of my life.

and if you must cheat—
then cheat death itself,
because
i couldn't bear
a single day
without you.

according to god's holy ordinance,
i pledge
my soul
to yours.

with this ring,
i thee wed.
in the name of god,
i love you.
