Kisses of the Groom

Folder: 
2016


Phases of the moon

Portend of the storm

She exposes her neck

To the kisses of the groom

Feathers fly flight on

Drafts of downward sky

Traverse the grounds

She walks upon

Light are her steps

The union of her soul

Dismisses the gloom masters

Intent on their deaths

Her love for her groom

Exceeds the projections

And spalls the nay sayers

Prepared to exhume

Her heart when it break

In pieces it will fall

Shattered in the plumage

For he loves like a snake.

He hide and dismisses

Not hearing her gasps

Not cherishing her moans

So they gather a soft cushion

Of warm arms and sweet hugs

When he leaves her unweded

In an unsavory condition


 

 


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Closed my eyes and had my mind, as if someone was there, ask how do you write a poem?  I sit and find that one turn of words.  Its like Woody Allen says, 

“What people who don’t write don’t understand is that they think you make up the line consciously — but you don’t. It proceeds from your unconscious. So it’s the same surprise to you when it emerges..And I laugh at it, because I’m hearing it for the first time myself.”

Alternate ending

(Her love admission) Remove?

So they gather a soft cushion

Of warm arms and sweet hugs

When he leaves her unweded

In an unsavory condition


I had admonition for its cautionary meaning where admissions is but doesnt make sense


Too cutsie and limericky Does it need a resolve?  I think I like it stopped short.  Opinions?
