A White Wedding

A white little church
edged by a black cliff
by a white seaside.
It's a nice setup for
a white wedding
of a black-veil bride.

Black crows fly high
into the limpid white
above the black earth.
It's a great day for
a white wedding
on a black sabbath.

White spruces,
and black cherries,
black willows
and white birches -
at the periphery
they stand guard.

Chequered lawns,
white fountains
and  black swans,
white lilies and
roses black.
Flower girls
running around
picking daisies
and flowers wild.

A white dog's barking
at the swans
and a black one chases
few white rabbits
beyond the lawns.

Guests, all whitelisted,
shuffle in odd pairs
as a white witch
performs black magic.
A white-house resident
and a dealer in black-share.
Two men in black
and a snow-white
outta black Caddi,
Blondes in black velvet,
their stallions in white.

Guests mingle in a
large white hall
behind black curtains.
Black mirrors on walls
cast white shadows
that fade into black.

The groom's a white hat
but the bride not so quite!
Hiding white secrets
of a black knight
in white satin even on
a pre-nuptial night.

The best man gives
the black diamond
a white-glove care
The maid of honor --
out of a white-house-
black-market catalog
with a blackout stare.
(Far too many
white Russians
on a night out!)

Groomsmen in black
and bridesmaids white
takes a stance
at the altar line up for
a white wedding of
a black-veil bride.

A black widow
sprinkles white potion
as a whited sepulcher
reads what he'd scribed.
It's an apt sermon for
a white wedding of
a black-veil bride.

A white wedding
on a black sabbath
of a black-veil bride
is a helluva ride,
It's a dream
black and white
gone wild.
