September Nuptials

Time ticked down her satin buttons
and fell all around her
in lace and small pearls .

Her apricot mouth trembled
with tremendous anticipation, so glowed
her hair encased in a full sun of veil
around her gladness hid the sigh
that dropped so suddenly
into the vestibule.

The energy of love filled the small space
where she waited
in a dream
that she wanted to entwine with finest silk
and keep forever safe.

Time had changed though,
making her happiness guilt edged,
and as the organ played her heart beat,
petticoated with layers of meaning,
she walked into her future.

This is the apricot image of love you created in my mind, and it was simply lovely.
