December 25th- The Christmas Wedding Head-to-head, Surrounded by seasonal silver bells Scarlet passionate pink poinsettias sit Foliage scenery Entwined by Christmas and Wedding bliss Frosty winter weather warmed up by: Rings of “I Do!” The eyes of Eve hide underneath a white veil Beautiful- A bride walking down the misty mistletoe isle Wondering why the majestic mustang moon sank without trace? The aroma of pine trees idle into the death-defying fog Fine firm decorated ribbons snug unopened gifts Desperately- Mistletoes wait above the tenable tint threshold Kissing and Cheering New Christmas Vows In her hands, a beautiful bouquet -Bridal flowers for the maids Forsaken by dark dusky dullness wedding cloud Flustering fragrance thicken the chestnut cold air Ornaments endured dreary tears Despising the drapes of fog That covers the newlywed winter show Harmony withdrew from that winter wonderland A white gown, not meant to be Christmas crushed by her greed The unkind erratic earth exchanged her own silent vows In a horrifying hoary haze A heavy foggy breeze dropped in like debris, Blowing her tiara dreams away On this very exact Christmas Day :-) 11-22-13

You remind me of Eve PD., a mystery in the moonlight. Not of greed though, just a driven need to be. Wonderful symbolism left somewhat unexplained, and strong use of the senses, smells of pines I duely adore. Strong use of alliteration too, as you know, one of my favorite instruments. Beautifully haunting. J.A.B.
