Long Blushing bride Poems

Kitchen counters alive; the vivid colors of red, green, purple and yellow glass jars. Your garden flourished.
.

In despair, I contemplate
ending my miserable disease-ridden life!
My body is damaged beyond repair
And so intense is the anguish that I can barely bear.

Looking at the first blush of the morning,
I know its the perfect day for a wedding.
The big fat white wedding, the dream,
To which every little girl clings.
 
I tell myself as I watch the clouds...

Most wonderful day of my life
I soak up the sun, every ray

In a attempt to attract a mate
Or maybe just a single date

Crayon colored pages of revealing art
Displayed proudly on the fridge door
Near the height measuring...

When The Moon fades

He sits under the fading moonlight
Helplessly staring at the
Menacing sliding of unforgiving clouds
As they slowly swallow the gentle moon
She is the moon he never saw
The moon he never knew
Creeping stars are fading
It...

He was sun-scorched, flame-torched
stood tall, strong as a brick wall
loose-hipped, well equipped
in for the count, without a doubt
expert tracked, surprise packed
spurs jangled, wild mustang wrangled

but I was lost, dust-bowl tossed; in...

The Courtship

He courted her for many years
Said she was the one for him
She looked like a goddess he said
In the moonlight, tall and slim
No one else would ever compare

The years...

My first steps are remembered by her sands.

I was raised on her mirages,
Bartered off when I first shed blood.
My wedding journey was etched on her visage,
Rows of camels, a blushing bride,...

and bubbly breakout of blushing bride.

Groom with giant heart, gracious, grateful - grips
her hand with his handsome wholeness. Helps

his lovely lady into limousine, longing for her lips.
Laps leaping, longing, leaving...
