2 poems on inspired by a wedding.

Congratulations to Scott and Deanna! May you continue to love each other with the same love you felt on Saturday, October 17th, 2009 through the rest of your marriage! =)

Like a Wedding Photographer

I observe the action

Find the best angles

Where does the light make them look best?

(Flash)

The first time their lips meet as Mr. and Mrs. Someone.

(Flash)

The inebriated bodies melting on the dance floor

(Flash)

They slice into the tower of sugar and frosting

(Flash)

The crowd throws a hail-shower of every color petals.

I observe the action

Find the best angles

Where does the light make them look best?



From the Outside Looking In

The sea of bodies churns

Inside the glass tank of a wedding hall.

The dappled lightdrops emanate

From the disco ball and drench the wedding party.

The sporadic streams of light burst

From the cameras and transverse through the glass

Lighting the church courtyard where I sit.

I catch a glimpse of your face

You’re smiling from ear to ear.

Congratulations.

You deserve to be happy.
