A Valentine Wedding

The church all speckled with red and white Billowy white bows affixed to the end of pews Red roses in vases & all other possible places A silver lace runner leads the way to impending 'I dos' As far as the bride and groom those titles weren't easy to get They fell in love so fast it scared them Fear said harsh words neither could forget Then instead of calling her, he created a stellar role as arrogant amnesiac Almost cutting their photos in half she decided to live seemingly unattached They kept this going for months with others adding 2 cents to nonsense swearing that they were horribly mismatched Until one day both ended up at the train station exit at the same time trying to use the same revolving door steady getting in each other's way Wedged in that door together they couldn't help but laugh & embrace no longer saving face allowed lips to convey what regretful words couldn't say And now she adorned in crisp stark taffeta he suited up in winter white It's as though they met each other for the 1st time The vows came easily to them both blessed in love charmed in rhyme And he says You are heaven sent I knew that then I realize that now But even though I knew that in the pit of my soul Fear took a hold of me anyhow I thought surely you would find someone better I didn't want to be used like a pawn or a token I couldn't bear to plunge so quickly into love only to have my heart broken As fate would have it We got caught in a revolving door fighting against that attraction was of no use that door revolved us back together uniting us all the more You are the jewels in the crown that you placed on my head I will honor you for always my precious one It is with my utmost love that I thee wed And she says Yes I knew that God sent you I knew that you were meant to be But I became scared that I would love you and then you would abandon me You said you loved me so early on I thought it couldn't be true if you said it so fast I knew that this time around I needed a lifetime I needed a love that would last It's funny now thinking about that revolving door each not sure of who should go first but then we kissed oh so much love that I missed I thought surely my heart would burst You call me your precious queen and with a crown of love you'll always be my king It is with all my heart that we become as one I am a blessed woman to wear your ring On this fateful Valentine's Day What God hath joined together Let no man put asunder 2/2/16

An outpouring of emotions that surges up from the heart and splashes against the page. The words are descriptive, lively, creative and masterful, floating onto the page with a poetic style with the aid of a brilliant wit that captures the reader's imagination and attention from the beginning and delivers to the end. Emile #7
