A bottle of champagne rained
on ninety-nine crystal-clear glasses
which formed a pretty pyramid beside
a two-tier wedding cake with a plastic bride and groom on top.
Rich pink cream rose bushes
lined their round garden of Eden
A twist of wires shaped a lovely heart
That was the backdrop of their union.
One dark grey tux and a pearl white gown
a netted veil with tiny flowers attached
two metal bands; one with a stone
meant we will henceforth not be alone.
Twenty-five years ago,
Our names were stamped on deep red curtains
In enlarged cursive purple font
They saw us weave through hand-in-hand
To tables that raised their glasses with cheer
The crowd had gathered for a purpose
And in that room they were to witness
They watched you share your name with me
And saw our climb to the peak of our bliss.
One dark grey tux and a pearl white gown
a netted veil with tiny flowers attached
two metal bands; one with a stone
meant we will henceforth not be alone
Twenty-five years ago,
And it was not so far away,
I found the half that made me whole
And together we held that tube of glue
That joined us and made me part of you.
Our fountain pens kissed a sheet of paper
That was meant to see us through forever
And forever you did see with me
But i did not with you.
One dark grey tux and a pearl white gown
a netted veil with tiny flowers attached
two metal bands; one with a stone
meant we will henceforth not be alone
Today i lie in my little bed
And smile from our joy that took me through
As you gaze at me I know that you are smiling too
But your tears fall upon my crystal veil
I feel them although they did not reach me.
I heard you say you missed me
And you longed for me to wake
To plant a kiss on your right cheek
That would mean I was okay...
One dark grey tux and a pearl white gown
a crystal veil; and tiny flowers surround
one wooden box; soon into dust
meant the last kiss would be our last.
Twenty-five years later,
It has not exactly been very long.
And to me it was not enough either.
But smile sweets, for I smile for
the twenty-five years of us together.
My fountain pen kissed this sheet of paper
That was meant to thank you for my forever
And forever you did see with me
I am sorry I could not with you.
Literature really is a beautiful subject.
It's only the second poem we've done but it's the favourite i've ever read.
School week has finally ended. Started falling sick in the morning and by afternoon i wanted to just fall onto any canteen table and sleep. Went to long john's for lunch with chongray, kabir and johanna (: had my chickinnnnn which is always yummy! Used to always buy their shrimp meal but it's gone now ): walked around with cr after that and then took a bus to my place walked around a little more (: need a place nice and quiet to just sit and talkkkk.
My windows phone has died on me. Memory card somehow got damaged so i'm using my old sony ericsson vivaz which is the most annoying shit ever. Coincidentally cr is using the same model as his spare phone too. HAHA COUPLE PHONE.
Ah long night ahead, long day tomorrow. Can't wait for next monday to be over.
Fucking ads on tumblr, blogger and twitter are pissing me off. I can't do any thing without some stupid ad popping out. I need to download a bajillion ad blockers to mozilla asap. And youuuuu blogger how dare you not allow me to upload photos and videos. HOW DARE YOU. I need to copy and paste everything now? Is this the way you want it to be?!
