A Friend’s Wedding | Rp Verlaine

The warmth, I welcome after winter’s chill
captured in letters where large tears have dried.
From one I thought for good, even for ill
I’d marry come the shadows of July.
Rare was her beauty, yet her greatest gift
was her keen wit and a splendid style
in her dress and dance, ‘twas almost as if
the gods looked down upon her just to smile.
I was envied by many close dear friends
save one who circled us with much intrigue.
Used lies and gossip to put a sad end
to lovers he both envied and deceived.
Worse, it seems she will keep that wedding day
with he, I called friend, who stole her away.

Night’s Wedding | Regina Elliott

The sun burned in envy,
when the night wed the moon,
adorned in stars,
with the Milky Way her bridal gown,
a hush enveloped her midnight-blue skies,
she sighed with the swallows’ twilight flight
as she reclined over the earth,
the setting sun still mourned lost love.

Her darkness is not to be feared,
but is a comforter,
The music of her silence
lulls the lonely and the grieving to sleep,
the cat’s eyes glow in the moonlight as he creeps,
nightfall singers blend with the angels’ rhapsodic trumpets.
