♥️ Wedding Dress ♥️

- Wedding dress
(Poem by me)

What a beautiful wedding dress
Sewn by the best seamstress
How blessed, I would feel in it

How gorgeous it looks in the sunrise
Its pearls glistening in the sunshine
Ah, I am shy, when I just fantasise

Structured, elegant, lace pattern
Form fitting, decorated with jewels
Displayed by the nearby store
I wonder who it is for
Wish I could wear it with their approval
Wish to them, my desires did not matter

Here I am again
Writing, what I do not understand
Pen in hand, hope in my heart

All these people have what I yearn
I would too, if they were not stern
I must learn, I must accept

Wish to stand strong
Carry my own joy
But I wish to share it
Wish to love, wish to commit
Blushing, already through her voice
Have a romance like in those love songs

How joyous it would be
If someone loved me
And so gently, ran her fingers through my hair

Educated, independent, appreciated
Soft and well articulated
Decorated, yet still traditional

Wish to settle down
Without losing my freedom
Wish to come home to a woman
Away from the gaze of men
Without losing my wisdom
A princess without a crown

Baking cookies, then building furniture
My ideal, equal, dream future
Becoming richer, in love and knowledge

Wish to be more than someone's wife
There is truly more to life
In her eyes, I wish to see peace

All these love stories are my dream
Except for the complete submission
Wish to still remain my own
As the beauty of marriage gets shown
Not fully blind from adoration
Maintaining self respect and self esteem

Wish to never stop to explore
As I regularly visit the book store
As my eyes get sore, my curiosity grows

While I am less dominant
I am not fully dependent
Still tolerant, with her own voice

Cleaning the local river together
Picnicking in the nearby park
In my wedding dress, I see a shooting star
And I run into her arms
Entranced by her spark
And we share the best adventures
