Nano 2014... It's not!

November 8, 2014 "Synchronicity"

Unfortunate Timing





The Bride and Groom met by the lake


Their joy and happiness so clear


To see





Her eyes, how they sparkled for him


Her lips how they longed to be kissed


By him





His heart quickened as she drew near


Waiting for the perfect timing


To ask





Resounding yeses filled the air


They spun around upon the dock


Miss step





She could not swim her life was gone


He tried to find her till the dawn


Too tired





~~~~*~~~~


At autumn’s peak they planned to wed


Not knowing soon their lives would cease


Lifeless


Down the path when raining leaves


The other worldly specters dance


At peace
