The "Wedding" & "Waiting"

Wedding would be any girls dream & a special moment where she looks absolutely stunning. How does it feels when the ball was in your court once & later loosing it to some alien fact.

WEDDING AND WAITING

 

It is my wedding day after all.

The most special day of my life

I have every right to be blissful

 I am going to be my beloved’s wife.

 

I could not sleep a day before

With butterflies flying in my stomach

I shall fulfill all the responsibilities

Institution of marriage will never be a bane.

 

My well toned body

Shaped with elegant wedding dress

I wear twinkling earrings and bracelets

With diamonds shinning in my necklace

 

To each other we will owe vows

We shall exchange rings

Will be complete with a wedding kiss

Love birds will fly with wings.

 

Thinking of all the flowery things

I was crowned by a beautiful vale

Wearing heels on the path of red roses

Virgin walking from stairs to Church bell

 

But, abruptly………

 

The alter became void

The clergymen became ignorant

The mass turned oblivious

 

The carol stopped singing

The toast was raze

The Wine clashed on floor

 

The white flowers in my hand turned blood red

Laughing at me was the angel atrocious & wicked

 

My heart was beating very fast

Cheeks turned red by this slap

Soul was restless

I denied saying “This is untrue”.

 

I was waiting even then

I am waiting even now

I will be waiting enduringly ………?

 

 

He left me alone

For a reason unknown…………….!

This could be a story of the bride left waiting at the altar for the groom that never turned up! Very sad and heartbreaking. Well done Mary. You could embellish the page further with pics of a weeping bride, shadowed fonts etc.

Overall a good attempt! Keep writing.

[Mary Christabel George]

Ya... Will try on what you mentioned.
Thank you for the review dear.

[DIVYA]

you are welcome.

Wow. I actually found a deeper meaning in this. As if the groom emotionally and spiritually vanished although those vows at the time, ran so deep.

Very deep and penetrating.

And believe me... married men can relate.

[Mary Christabel George]

Hee...Hee...:)
Thanks...
Yes married men can relate well..
By the way... Are you married..? ;)

[Deuces]

Yes - married with a son and daughter. I know the trials and tribulations of it all.

[Mary Christabel George]

That's good that you understand the scene.
Love for your Son & Daughter.
:)

That was terrifying T-T It was beautiful in the beginning, but then DOOSH! he was gone! Yeah you did total justice to the theme I felt immidiate heartbreak and suspense! Whoa! That's creepy cool Awesome job! :D

[Mary Christabel George]

Ya it was a pleasant beginning & an disappointing end. A symbol of heart break & the pain followed by. I am glad you went through the phases of Joy & sorrow which i wanted the reader to go through.

The piece leaves alot of questions. Why isn't he there? What's the backstory of the bride and couple? If it was expanded upon, this could definitely be an outstanding piece. Keep writing!

[Mary Christabel George]

Hmmm.... well said. I will try to work on the back story.
The curiosity springs up.
But it ended on a note "He left me alone
For a reason unknown".

Loved the format! Beautiful poetry too...you have captured fear, excitement, uncertainty, and all other wordless emotions that a bride experiences! The culmination into heartbreak and being left at the altar is depressing, but a very real fear that most brides face! Well expressed! :)

[Mary Christabel George]

Thanks Rashmi for understanding all the emotions which "The Wedding & Waiting" wants to convey.

[River Page]

I think the format is a unique twist. It helps convey the feel of each verse.

[Mary Christabel George]

Ya....
Thank you for sparing time to read.
Take care!

[Silhouette]

Woah…way to twist the emotions in this piece. The abrupt change in emotions caught me off guard, and you did a really great job. Thank you so much for penning.

[Mary Christabel George]

Dearest, Thank you for all the appreciative words...
God bless....!

[Silhouette]

My pleasure, and God bless you, too =)
