She arrived in
her crimson red flowing silk
Of dreams
weaved through her tender years.
Her hopes
gleamed through her golden assets
Of years of expectations
and yearnings
Of her family.
She sighed;
Her eyes
moist,
A big wave of
ceremony
To wash her
ashore across
Her sea, of a
small world
Floating,
Waving,
Brimming
With little
toys to her high heels,
Remnants of
dried petals beneath every page,
Mad scribbling
over the walls, fading,
Her frilled
frock to her ornamented shawl
Her father
gifted on birthdays.
A small dairy
and those large books
Her mother put
on her pink table
On every
occasion over past years,
Calling
Haunting
Smiling
faintly
At her blushed
face.
Evening sun’s
reddish blush of fantasies,
Morning’s
blush of hopes, on her cheeks glowing.
Her eyes
glowing with all nightly stars
She treasured
in her bosom on lonely nights.
She arrived in
crimson red flowing silk;
Blushed red,
groomed fairy,
Her eyes
dancing, longing
Searching her

ReplyDeleteLovely painting of the beautiful bride ~
ReplyDeleteThis is glorious! The tug of emotions with such beautiful thoughts :D
ReplyDeleteI feel she looks at all life's arrivals that brought her here to the wedding in flowing red silk. I love that because, to me, the composure of a bride's face is often inscrutable--except perhaps to those who share the deepest love with her. Your poetry is beautiful.
