Women will say it's men
Men will say it's women
They all throwing
Shades at each other
Defending their gender
Tendering different agenda.
Women will leave their man
Because he cheated
Then go to another man
Who's cheating on his woman
What a irony... Circle keeps repeating
Men will be telling several girls
Same thing but different feelings
Feelings depend on her vibes
Time passes, little misunderstanding
They break up, then go to another woman
Who's probably not satisfied in her present relationship.
I know they're some women and men
Who don't cheat, they're fidelity
Men and women
Keep accusing each other
Thinking they will never unite
But every weekend;
Friday, Saturday and Sunday
There's always a wedding ceremony to attend.
Men and women, who cheats most!?...
Multicolored paintings of the sun in the dawn,
Romantic restlessness of birds insomniac;
Whispers of gentle breeze with the buds newly born,
Hide and seek of butterflies and dragonflies pack...!
Why talks and smiles and waves of laughter betwixt trees?
Why hullabaloo between bushes and flowers?
Is there a wedding ceremony betwixt bees?
Why there is serene sunshine amidst soft showers...?
Melodious music of stringed instruments heard,
Babbles and ripples of rivers and streams nearby;
Often, dark thick clouds gather in moods so absurd,
Pleading the blessings of the color-changing sky...!
The elegance of the summertime, thus, is sweet,
Midst its perspirations and a bit burning heat...!!!
A couple are wed
At a tiny chapel
On a country road
The guest are waiting
Outside to congratulate
The guest gather outside
only the wedding party
Are allowed inside
For the wedding ceremony
The guest greet thecouple
When they come outside
Throwing rice at them
When they leave the chapel
They go somewhere for photos
While the guest travel
To the reception hall
When the meal is served
A toast to bride and groom
Then throw the bouquet
With dancing music follows
I stood up to the plate
there was no way I wouldn’t give my all
I knew I would be tested with everything I had
there would be no makeover, no redo
this was it, the show stopper
the call for the performance of a lifetime
the final scene of the last act
be brave, it was now or never
it had finally all led to this
as loud as loud could be
I heard it in the silence of forevers
‘come on, give us all you’ve got’
and so it was I took my husband home
the hospital said the end was near
it was the final curtain call
his mind was tainted, not all there
thankful the end hadn’t come more abruptly
make every moment count is what I heard
so it was I would prepare my love
much like for a formal wedding ceremony
for the moment I’d walk him through the garden
down that aisle right up to heaven’s gate

I'd wear pink,
To meet him for the first time
So that he'd know that I am soft
Even if I hold a steady pout on my face
Just so as to appear like
A Viking Queen!
I'd wear white
To meet him for a night date
So that he'd just look at me
And see, reflected from my shine,
The meaning of innocence and purity
And would therefore make it a must
To treat me as he would himself
Be deemed to be treated like!
I'd wear red
For both our wedding ceremony and
Our wedding night
So that he'd tremble and shake
With insurmountable passion
Creating jolts of tsunami waves in him,
Bidding him to want to hold my heart in his
And to never want to let go!
But my love be my muse
And even if my life remains dedicated towards
Meeting him somewhere where the horizon
Merges with the skyline,
Somewhere where I shall relish the feel of the wind
On my face as well as its caress upon my hair,
My love writes of its story solely for him
And while I shall be treading upon the marshy lands
Of this uncertain world,
I shall wear all the colours that are known
Merely because my time spent here
Is a celebration of my muse-ful love
Sweet memory on Valentine's Day~of a wedding ceremony
Salt comes in white and a beautiful pink
Amazing foods like chips-pretzels make me want to wink
Land covered in ice just sprinkle this mineral
Their Russian wedding ceremony had Bread-salt scriptural

Disappointed she bends on her knees
Ears shut, not to catch his brutal words anymore
Spilling her painful tears on the floor
Desperately prays for her dilemma to freeze!
Mind recollects.....
Soon after her wedding ceremony
Life started pedalling her emotions strangely
Darkness had swallowed her insanely;
And lamely egressed her love harmony.
He thwarted her from achieving goals
Surrendering to his orders,
She feared to cross borders
Neither sneaked out for short strolls.
Will she opt for a mutual divorce?
Unable to bear the impact of desertion
How long can she survive with no affection?
Unhealthy relationship might not reinforce;
She needs to sort out
As this is utter ridiculous
Being very meticulous
With a well planned route ..!
My best friend just had
her wedding ceremony
She's as hap-hap-happy
as a new bride can be
What's her groom's name, you say
Why, it's John P. Marconi
We suspect she doesn't know
the 'P's for Parsimony
It has happened years ago.
Maybe yesterday’s tomorrow.
It was long forgotten time.
As a convict on furlough,
I felt innocent of crime.
Childish memories uproar,
Kiss I answered to try.
I was very stupid there.
I was permanently shy.
Blackish blue or white in color
sweetest fruit I ever ate.
Stains on town streets in summer.
Trace of incidental deaths.
I was yearning for the glory,
galloping through stormy days,
fighting legends in the stories,
finding something to embrace.
Skies above and dreamy clouds.
How beautiful was night...
And I do remember sound
of my lost forever chance.
Yes, I tried to put together
splendid lace of easy words
English poets were treasure.
I adored the eyes of yours....
As a measure of forgiveness,
near me in phantom space
peacock feathers flew around,
wedding ceremony grace.
It was night when stars fell down
into ocean that was brown
I was looking at your face.
I adored your eyes for years.
And I still remember morning,
sun was awful and grey.
I made sandwich, cup of coffee
and without any worries
boarded long awaited train.
Mulberry Trees, you’re to stay.

White roses stand in subtle elegance,
simplicity with no neutral color, but splendor.
Very formal in reverent sheer awe of fragrance
innocence and freshness poses nature renders.
A wedding ceremony under a spreading tree,
on a grassy lawn, edged with a rose garden.
A beauteous arch adorn with white tulle,
shimmering clear lights, and white rose garland.
A romantic ambiance to say their vows outdoors.
She wears a V-neck long flowing white chiffon
and satin gown; rhinestones adorn the waist.
She holds a bouquet of fragrant white roses,
stem wrapped tight in white satin ribbon
and spiraling down three rhinestone streamers
to complement the elegant wedding dress.
He is flattering in casual western wear, black tie,
and a single white rose boutonnière pin to his vest.
Dreams do come true, a promise to each other.

It comes roaring busting like thunder, warning every spectator
Carrying the smiles carrying the laughter, parameter of hope
People gather to sing and swing, a spring of continuity and good
All the stinking scrotal carriers, emptied by mere castrations
Many thinK to eat and dance, two think to contact and merry
In Anticipation!
I will shout in joy
and burst with laughter
if God 'Will' me witness a wedding day
the day that comes once
with measureless joy
the day that if it comes back
the first joy cannot be compared
I will grin, grin and grin
and ever will i cherish the day.
Written on 30th of December, 2017, in a wedding ceremony of a friend.
In wedding ceremony
Bride told officiating priest
In the confession box;
“Wed me and my man,
Sooner than later; wait not
I confess this man I love not
He is not handsome enough
Age mate surely he not
I do not know him much
But there is one good thing
That I cannot miss of him;
A beautiful fat bag he owns
When it becomes ugly, thin
I’ll apply for rapid divorce
Other matters I’ll handle.”
Fine mist dissipated in the air
As the automobile of young man
Wrecked in the middle of nowhere
Fearing being victim of burglars
White dressed pale woman
Appeared walking very slowly
Asking to be returned to home
With an expressionless stare
The car is fixed with great ability
Long black hair woman took a seat
Disappearing without leaving a trace
Perplexing with immense fear the driver
After researching in internet stories
Appeared the legend of the bride
Who perished in a car accident
Before the wedding ceremony
