POLICE INTERRUPT WEDDING


Her eyes a sapphire blue,
An awesome sight to view,
Her nose aristocratic,
She was so charismatic,
Her lips a rosy petal pink,
One had to blink,
Or been seen as staring,
Her nature a sheer blessing.

Her hair pure black like coal,
Her ears so dainty as if she stole
Them from a pretty fairy,
Her friendly attitude quite flirty,
Her peeking bosoms such a tease,
Begging for a squeeze,
Her tantalizing always alluring waistline,
Her demure look whilst sipping wine,

Her legs, toned and smooth,
The actual truth,
Those legs were the best in town,
Caire lived in a cottage down
The hill, her ankles slim and slender,
Her speaking tone ever so tender,
Her teeth pearly white,
Her nails and toe-nails bright
Red, wrists strong, fingers slight.

She was betrothed to the mayor,
Was this beautiful girl Caire,
To be married next week,
By a sandy beach near a sheltered creek,
Excitement was mounting,
Two days to go, she was counting,
Claire had ordered a Dior designed dress,
This was the perfect wedding, oh yes!

Her parents arrived the day before,
They were excited wanted to explore,
Mark’s parents acted a little strange,
There was never any form of exchange,
Of phone calls, no answer to a wedding invitation,
Future husband gave Clair limited information,
She looked radiant as she walked down the aisle,
She turned everybody’s head, unique was her style.

Happy as a lark to be her beloved’s wife,
She looked forward to her future role in life,
Suddenly, police sirens heard,
The noise moving closer, how weird,
Two cars arrived and, four or five policemen,
Walked towards the couple, in fact ten,
Cuffed her future husband, read him his rights,
Clair fainted, Mark was a criminal, many nights
She often thought he was too secretive,
Which made her sad, certainly not appreciative,
Claire dear girl, you forgot, habits are difficult to re-arrange,
Mark was set in his ways, so hard for you to have him change.



Mark was wanted for fraud, millions of pounds
Involved, had cooked the books, so out of bounds,
Claire's mom and dad put her gently into their car,
And took her to their home which was far,
Claire took some time to get past this catastrophe,
Over a man she loved and about to relinquish her chastity,
Ralph a divorced writer was her parent’s neighbour,
Who soon stole Clare’s heart and her chamber!

Love has many twists it seems. Seems she soon lost her virginity in the end.

Jennifer, this was such a captivating read—romantic, playful, and full of unexpected twists! I was drawn in by Claire’s beauty and charm, then completely caught off guard by that dramatic turn. You have a wonderful way of weaving emotion, detail, and surprise together. Loved it!...Hugs

She had a luck escape for sure Jennifer. Her life would have been a misery if she'd married him. Great story telling. Tom

PURE Fiction my friend, i wanted a twist to the end of the story so I built up Claire's looks and character so that the reader really felt sorry for her and yet relieved when the 'bad guy' got arrested. Thanks for the visit Karen, be well Jennifer.

With your mesmerizing lyrical storytelling, I was captivated by the bride-to-be's narrative from beginning to end. It seemed like something terrible was about to happen because everything felt too beautiful! Dear Jennifer, Fortunately, her hopes and ambitions were dashed before she could say "I do"... such a charming "princess story"
