Would the happy couple like to come onto the floor for the first dance
Do you take this woman
Would the man in the crowd like to join them for his last waltz
I now pronounce you
The last waltz
No words to be spoken, he promised
Instead, he watched as she danced out of his life forever
She couldn’t keep his eyes from talking, not now
Does he catch your tears and build an ocean
Does he touch your face when you are sleeping
Does he know your spot of misadventure
Does he, does he, does he
The night drinks to life that should have been
The last dance
Would the happy couple come onto the floor for the final time
Mr and Mrs
Would the man in the crowd like to die now
The final goodbye
You look
Shhhh
She presses
Keepsake
Something Blue.

WOW! It begs the question.... who has the greatest loss..... the man in the crowd or the bride.... maybe the groom is just the fool in the game. ???
I suppose they all have a part to play.
Your brush strokes Mr Bell, are quite something. A picture worth a thousand words is what you wrote here, and you only needed a few. Keep wielding your mighty pen sir. Thank you.
Less is definitely best.
(a great write!
details, you seemingly stole
from my own life's, experiences
as that's how relatable
your words read..
thanks for sharing, dear Poet
and inspiring, my own
little scribbled reply)
'Does he
catch your tears and build an ocean'
(for you, to swim-in?
is that why
you blinked, away
our goodbye
with one smooth, dive
leaping
from our love's, once
heady heights
to the all new, in his
awaiting, fervent waters)
I suppose this will resonate with many.
Though, stealing the odd line off fellow poets is a sign of a good poet borrower.
Well what a grand play
Wonder who had the last laugh
And who got deceived
But maybe in love there is no failing but only falling
I suppose the husband was the real loser.
Very intriguing words Paul, one wonders who is the most hurt.
Andy
Probably the husband if he ever found out.
