Best Wedding Dress Poems
(This is a fictional poem)
I stare at your wedding dress because that's all I have left of you.
You broke my heart when you died back in 2002.
Tears come to my eyes and they roll down my cheeks.
You were one in a million, you were truly unique.
You always made people happy even when they were sad.
All that keeps me going are the memories of the years that we had.
As I stare at your wedding dress, I feel so much misery within.
You ruined me for all other women, I'll never fall in love again.
She stood, frozen in her
wedding dress; no one could tell
who was on her mind

"Wedding Dress"
Innocence
betrayed a white page
divesting romantic notions
of a pristine life marked
by sibilant soft-tongued seduction
green apple plucked
wrapping serpentine legs like vines
rosy cheeked blushing
a student smarting around
Garden of Arden's Puck
captured essence
from a torn portrait
of picket fences
climbing soft caresses
towards the wild
bee's stinging under
the tightly stitched
waiting room of a
hemmed in
wedding dress
(LadyLabyrinth / 2020)
"To drench your skin with lover's rosy stain.
A chance to find a phoenix for the flame,
A chance to die, but can we
Dance into the fire,
That fatal kiss is all we need.
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams.
Dance into the fire;
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
When all we see is a view to a kill"
Lace
Flimsy
Floats on air
Like yesterday’s
Dreams
Sad
Broken
Mourning love
Alone bereft
Lost
Jack Horne for Nette's Turn on the Lanterne contest
When I was small, I loved to hear my mother sing
It's int'resting, the things that we repress
Today, I can't recall a verse,
I just recall the lies
We'd been estranged for years when I learned she had died
and I arranged to see her only then
My childhood home was full of ghosts and boogiemen
Would they rise from the box she'd put aside?
Just wedding photos. Nice surprise,
it could have been much worse
A smiling bride. What writhed beneath, no one could guess
She'd held my father hostage with that ring
She left to me the house, this box and one more thing -
a square of silk cut from her wedding dress
I pull it, folded, from my purse
and with it, dab my eyes,
then lay it in the box, which I close tight to hide
my troubled memories away again
Eve’s wedding dress is dirty and tattered;
She’d had fun at her divorce paint party,
With bright paint it’s now messy and splattered!
Her ex husband has run off with Marti,
(At one time she had been Eve’s closest friend)
Eve’s now renounced her old surname McCarty.
In the future her broken heart may mend;
She’s determined to get on with her life -
Her lovely neighbors have been a godsend!
Eve is saddened she’s no longer a wife,
But she’s well rid of the marital strife!

She loves the dress
It fits so perfectly right
She’s happy going to bed now
She will sleep In peace tonight
He’s packing his luggage
Coming from the usa
He is so excited
Can’t wait for his wedding day
She wakes up this morning
She feels a pain in her chest
Gone to the doctor
He Send her for some test
They talk on the phone
She sound so tired to night
He said sweet dreams love you
But he knows something's not right
She picks up the dress
Open the closet door
Has to go to the doctor
Appointment at four
He takes a taxi to the airport
Now he sits in the plane
Can’t wait to hug her
Feel her in his arms again
The doctor says sit down
Got the results for the test
You got cancer and it has
Spread though out her chest
He’s thinking of her
He love her so much
He wants to wake next to her
Forever feeling her touch
We have no time to waste
Need to operate right away
Trying to save her life
But she died that day
He was greeted with sad faces
He holds his head and screams
The wedding dress in the closet
Was suppose to start their dreams
At her burial he falls on the casket
Hugs it hang his head and cries
As the thunder cracks
And rain falls from the skies
He drove his car over a cliff
because his life was a living hell
the priest say she went to heaven
And become an angel
And there’s wedding dress
Behind a closet door
With very special meaning
never to be wore
Not all in this life
Ends like we want it to
Thank you for reading my poem
very special friend i love you
Today’s the date I married,
Many, many moons ago.
My wedding dress was long and white;
In back, there was a bow.
It wasn’t from a bridal shop;
I’d purchased it alone.
There was one I’d liked much better
So I’d searched to find a phone.
I called my mom, describing both;
The other one was green,
To match my boyfriend’s 3 piece suit.
Though I was torn between,
My mother’s voice had not one doubt.
In fact, she almost hissed,
“You have to get the white one,”
All my arguments dismissed.
In pictures, we are smiling
And the white dress that I wore
Looked more bridal, but not better
Than the one left at the store.
As I look around, A glorious decor
Everyone sitting around, those petals on the floor
Smiling faces, and wedding cake
A perfect picture you and I make
In black and white you stand at the altar
There's no way that this day could Falter
But Alas..
I wake up to know that my dream is a Nightmare
To see you with her, How could I NOT care!?
To think that could have been ME at that threshold
A page in my diary I SCREAM to you TENFOLD!
Why me?..
I sit and I ponder what could have caused this
What could I have done to ruin this bliss
I stop, because from god this must be a test
So I accept, I'll move on
and Say goodbye to that White Wedding Dress...
There's a wedding dress in my room
It reminds me of feeling of excitement
Its glitters sparkles like her smile
So perfectly glam just like her
A lovely wedding dress on a perfect day
Everything is just on time
I've been waiting for this moment to come
See that wedding dress walking at the aisle
Flowers fly like happiness
Throwing a party after ceremony
The moment when she'll say "I do"
Two hearts become one forevermore
But that dream just lives in my mind
Wish she's right here with me squeezing my hand
She could walk her life with me in this world
Now I'm just holding our memories tight
Just like I hold my love on to her
I am missing her so bad
What water falls remind me of:
As they dance between lands
Bringing life to death
High to Low
Calm and powerful
Awe is it's power
Stronger than the world
It's dance so beautiful
White like a wedding dress
The bride dancing with her husband
In the world she calls home
Bringing happiness
To those gazing upon her
I perfect awe
It couldn't have fit me better, like it was sewn especially for me.
A cruel joke from God, I thought, possibly.
And yes, sadness washed over me like I knew it would.
glarred so briefly at myself in the mirror.
Wow, I actually could pass as being somewhat pure!
Standing there studying the intricasies of pearls and beads.
This is one garment in my life, that will just never be.
Do you want it? You can have it, my girlfriend said to me.
I looked sharply back at her and sarcastically muttered, please!
You look like a princess, she added. It fits you so perfectly.
I finally had all i could take, please unzip it,
for heavens sake!
Then i thought about it a little more as I starred at the silken train.
It's exactly what I always thought I would wear.
I really thought this day would come for me.
I'm sure it will sell fast on ebay, to a love drowned bride to be.
And she'll make the perfect wife, along with her husband,
then a family.
I walk down the aisle
But you are not yet there
Ding dong ding
The clock reads three
That bell that chime
Forever mocking me
I sink down
At the edge of the pew
Giving up on the dream of
me and you
Salty tears
Hit the floor
Love crimson in color
Pours from my hands
Pours from my heart
Pours from Me
And it stains
My wedding dress
She loves the dress
It fits so perfectly right
She’s happy going to bed now
She will sleep In peace tonight
He’s packing his luggage
Coming from the usa
He is so excited
Can’t wait for his wedding day
She wakes up this morning
She feels a pain in her chest

She sound so tired to night
He said sweet dreams love you
But he knows something's not right

The large black rat snake established residence inside.
When we try to scoop it up she is keen enough to hide.
She slithers and swishes in a kind of frantic frenzied glide.
I hope she does not appear and scare our newest bride.
This is a wedding dress store, full of tulle and pearls from the tide.
We do not want to advertise that we have a resident snake inside.
It might frighten away our customers, and grandmas of the bride.
I hope that if we cannot catch it, the snake will continue to hide.
