Textbook Wedding

Flawless in conception  

The one with red carpet aisles

Champagne roses

Free flowing wine

The beautiful wife

Mine



The one inside me

Ring in hand

Fingers interlocked

Staring deep into eyes

Saying a million things

Not saying anything

Revealing love

Renewing belief



The beautiful wife.

Mine.

A beacon of decency

Of all’s envy.



But,

there will be no wedding,

not now - forever.

It did go wrong.

Eventually.



Fury of the wedding planner-

her pains felt-

perfect plans ruined.

Champagne bottles uncorked

The guest list empty.

What belief, what love



What we have

is what we had.
