Under the Net of Our Kisses… Inspiration for a Sunday Kind of Love

Always on the hunt for lovely quotes and poems for wedding ceremonies, when we stumbled on this delightfully sentimental photograph from TBC Creative Partner Fred Marcus Photography we were smitten through and through. When your wedding day is beautifully planned right down to the last moment, it’s wonderful to see it artfully captured by someone who understands the power of the details — both big and small.  The Marcuses’ endearing shot of the bride’s engagement ring placed in her ceremony program caught our attention, and, we too were captured by the net of Pablo Neruda. Make it a Sunday Kind of Love…

Drunk as drunk on turpentine

From your open kisses,
Your wet body wedged
Between my wet body and the strake
Of our boat that is made of flowers,
Feasted, we guide it – our fingers
Like tallows adorned with yellow metal –
Over the sky’s hot rim,
The day’s last breath in our sails.

Pinned by the sun between solstice
And equinox, drowsy and tangled together
We drifted for months and woke
With the bitter taste of land on our lips,
Eyelids all sticky, and we longed for lime
And the sound of a rope
Lowering a bucket down its well. Then,
We came by night to the Fortunate Isles,
And lay like fish
Under the net of our kisses.
