The Chapel Of Love

 

The chapel of love was peaceful

All the angels were sleeping on the wings of happiness on a beautiful day of December

 

Inside of the chapel

  A violinist was playing

The soft melodies

That carried me in the wings of pleasure in a garden so green

A garden

That was covered   

With melodious sonnets and the

Contrast of light and sound

Of Beethovens symphony No. 5

And Mozart 3. sweet delight

In a garden with soft passages of love

In a breezy night

With two lovers

When the wind dances around them

And the moon was smiling with no ominous clouds upon them 

 

And in chapel of love

Guests were sitting calmly

With no laughter, no sound of any kind,anxiously waiting

To see the bride

The beautiful bride with skin like ripe olives from an olive grove that facing the

 Mediterranean sea

 

Her hair soft

And was flowing

Under a vanilla orchid tree

 

And to see the groom

A man with a bright smile that was sitting on his face

Very softly

 

 Suddenly in the chapel

The silence was broken

By emotions and with the foot steps of a couple that was entering the alter one by one  separately

 

With their heads high with pride

Their hearts excited with the sweetness of

Of a bond that is divine

And their hands

Were trembling while they held each others hands

Like the cold branches of vines 

That shiver softly for the warmth of sun above

 

And finally when they stood face to face

In the chapel of love

 

People smiled

And the couple smiled

To celebrate a togetherness

To celebrate the beginning of incredible journey of life

As man and wife

Hand to hand
