The Bride

Wrote this poem a couple of months back. Enjoy!





The Bride

Today, I am the bride who walks down the aisle alone;
No priest officiated the ceremony; no witnesses beheld the sight
as I slipped the pearl ring onto my own finger.
Heute heirate mich ich. (Today, I marry myself)

I gaze at the glitters of distant worlds
and push the lace from my eyes.
If I could walk across the waves,
if I could tread oceans, would I find you;
my faceless beloved?
Perhaps you stand in the same surf,
paralyzed by the same stars.
Wo bist du? (Where are you?)

A cloud drifts past a cluster of worlds,
throwing a veil between the only sight we share.
Are our chances as veiled as my face?
Perhaps I shall hold this bouquet until the roses wither,
questioning if we shall ever embrace.
Horst du mich? Horst du mich nicht? (Do you hear me? Do you hear me not?)
