Short Blushing Bride Poems

the blushing bride of summer sunset
dances daintily with the wistful wind
forgetting sorrow brought by bitter winter 
drying tears tossed by those who sinned...

The priest stares towards the new blushing bride
A question in his old eyes
Replaced by a sweet smile

Gives her delicate hand to waiting groom
Blessing their pious union
With a holy red scarf...

Her party is captured with camera zing.
For pic shows in center, is bride’s offspring.
His Mama is stern.
“Stay virgin. Do learn!”
How lovely the wedding as bells do ring.

Contrary to popular belief guys have a feminine side
Some wear gowns pretending they're a blushing bride
I'm more reserved
Lacking the nerve
But at the sight of a wee mousie I'm mortified...

closer to the edge
where day and night merge,
marriage of land and sky
not one thing or
the other;

that’s where faith hides --
blushing bride, wayward child
waiting to be found
and taken
home.

in church 
            watching the chocolate eyes
of the beautiful
            but not proverbial blushing bride
     I am chilled by this childish union
choking  on 
            bitterness and broken inside...

My wilted, rotten, Rose bouquet –My veil, a crown of thorns.
As dowry to me Master gave a tail to match my horns… 
and promised me the one to rule would be but my firstborn.
So something borrowed, something blue my broken Heart becomes.
Now I with sorrow say ‘I do’ to love but only one… 
the one of which I stand before with Dreading Dress undone....

I tease the fragrant petals off deep red roses fresh in bloom

And strew them with gentle care on virgin matrimonial sheets

Where I shall lay with loving hands my blushing bride tonight.

The stars may wink their last goodbyes, 
the sun may disappear, 
the moon may shrink and come to naught 
and I will shed a tear. 

The universe may turn to dust 
all flora, fauna waste away, 
we may spend our time in darkness 
hoping for a brand new day. 

Will you still be here to comfort me 
to fill my eyes with pride, 
and swell my heart with tenderness, 
my love, my blushing bride?...

This pink-faced blushing bride
explodes with wonderment,
joyously embracing the mystery
unfolding in each moment.

The white lace and satin obscure
her hidden history:
forgotten pain, 
broken promises,
and the gentle acceptance that
healed them all.

She steps forward with 
grace and ease, gazing into 
the eyes of her beloved.

Fearlessly, they plunge into
murky, unknown waters
and swim....

It was a magical night
The sky was lit
By the glory of Luna
The full moon
Pondering this majestic night sky
I witnessed
The total lunar eclipse
The nature's grandest spectacle
The hypnotizing beauty in action
The dazzling scene
Of the blushing bride
Luna covering herself
With the charming reddish orange veil
The spectacular alignment
Of Sun, Earth and Luna in syzygy
Breathtaking sight to behold...

Lovely roses adorned in white
    filled the white church.
Their fragrance floats through
                 the air
filling the nostrils of awaited
                 guest.
  White rose petals are used
as a trail for a blushing bride.
   White roses are used in a 
       sacred ceremony as
     two souls become one.

June is the grandest month of all,
And I know you'll agree with me.
It's filled to the brim with happiness,
As you can plainly see.

There's a blushing bride and a bashful groom,
In a thousand towns I'll bet,
And gangs of lovers agree to agree,
On this month without regret!

Ideas are born and fully matured,
When the calendar shouts, "It's June"
Believe it or not, it isn't the month,
Could it possibly be the moon?...

Out across the countryside 
looking for his blushing bride
The knight with Xena did collide.
He asked her for her mighty hand
she said you just don't understand
I'm now the leader of a band
of acrobats from Zanzibar
so come with us ,it's not too far
ole Hercules has got a car
he'll loan you shorts and shirts and things
until you learn the ropes and rings
you'll soon forget your old love's stings

In the Big Top late tonight...

Nothing compares to your beauty
Most noble flower in my garden
You bear no malice, having  no thorns 
To prick the finger
Of a blushing bride

You show us your beauty
In a delightful way
No wires to hold your bridal shape
This bouquet is how you were created
A delight to behold.

A delicate perfume 
Do you emit
Subtle in its delight
So all who cast eyes on this beauty
Be enamoured by it's totality.

She dreams of the happiest day of her life;
make vows and you become man and wife.
With such elegance and style
she’ll glide down the aisle
with a wide
smile.
Blushing bride,
her blue eyes beguile,
prays that their love is worthwhile,
filled with fun, contentment and no strife.
She dreams of the happiest day of her life.

To all the girls I've loved before
You know I always wanted more
But I could always see
Your love was not for me
But for a soulmate you adore

In dreams you found that love can grow
With someone you don't even know
And set my love aside
To be the blushing bride
In dreams where only you can go

I'm glad you found the time to share
The moments when we were a pair
Please live an happy life
As someone else's wife
But know that I shall always care...

Fifty years, has it been so long?
It seems only yesterday
My blushing bride walked down the aisle
To give her heart away.

Freely did she give it
And gladly I received,
Then hand in hand down life's path
To walk it as we pleased.

Life has been good to you and me,
Though sometimes touched with sorrow,
But hand in hand we always knew
We could always face tomorrow.

I am content to walk with you
Until the very end,
My darling wife, my lover dear,
But most of all my friend....
