The Royal Wedding

by

Once He sent to earth,
A pretty princess in red,
To be cared by Mother,
In a nourishing soft bed.

From handsome princes,
She wished to choose,
A groom who’d love her,
Like morning to a dew.

First suitor soon arrived,
Made her blossom soon,
She began to love him,
Like stars to the moon.

Alas, it never happened,
In a trice, he was away,
But arrived, the second,
Scorching lonely days.

He possessed a warmth,
But she withered away,
But her prayer He heard,
And short was this stay.

For a breath of relief,
There remained no time,
With a shower of love,
Arrived the next in line.

All her scars of before,
He washed very quick,
His cool touch, she liked,
But even he didn’t stick.

With a strong icy breath,
He made her to shiver,
A white blanket, he gave,
No stop to her quivers.

No prince did stay long,
All wanted her as bride,
She died; reincarnated,
But still the princes tried.

She asked Him future,
A wedding was in store,
Soon she was betrothed,
Wife to the princes four.

Written for Thursday Poets’ Rally, Week 33, November 18th to 24th.

Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.

  14. Leo that poem is awesome!!!! It’s ever woman’s dream….to be married to someone who will wash away the pain and scars that she had by her man…

    • thank you very much, Haisley.. I was speaking metaphorically of course, with the princess in question being a red rose 😉 glad you could also relate in terms of a woman’s dream…

  18. betrothed to the four princes? is that possible? is it allowed? and where on earth?

    i love your poem in a sense that she didn’t give up at all…til all four were betrothed to him?
