Heaven's Classic Vignette

"Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of heaven." 
                                    

The Bride - VIGNETTE

wind whispers secrets so sweet
his dark figure casting a shadow
as he looms gently over her
tracing the curve of her lips real slow

The Bride- vignette

memories merge with mounting misery 
hurting haunting tearing apart
but her sobs subside with the setting sun
as the birds bring beauty to her heavy heart

beaming midst hopeful best from heart’s abyss.-

*2 Corinthians 9:8 - And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.

The Reluctant Bride - VIGNETTE

maybe the bride airmailed me a message
to object to their match would be a mad gaffe
so I found fulfillment in fantasy  
as off flopped her head in a photograph

The Bride - ViGNETTE

lamenting ripples of the wandering wind whisper

THE BRIDE’S DREAMS - VIGNETTE

sweet smell of her envy perfume
drowned that stench of betrayal play

The Bride's Dreams

She had thought that love was only a game; something one could wear like a badge to garner envy amongst friends. The chill of the night enfolds her troubled emotions where dreams are unwelcome. A Stygian cloak of loneliness weighed heavily on her as she awaited an elusive epiphany. Finally, the watershed moment came, bringing

Prognosis Defied

In the recognition ceremony during the Special School’s commencement exercises, I was ecstatic while witnessing my child jubilantly flashing his double thumbs’ up trademark gesture.  He was screaming with glee when he acknowledged his name announced as “Academic Excellence Awardee.”
