Poem: Star Crossed Wedding

I.

Untimely omen:
there's a flock of black ravens
as they say their vows.


II.

No one notices
the warm sun beams happiness
a curtain of love.


III.

The stars in their eyes
rival any galaxy
so so far away.


IV.

A cold wind blows through
swirls through the assembled crowd
kisses the bride's veil.


V.

The crowd cheers loudly
shouts of congratulations
pointed, staccato.


VI.

But all the fates know
a confluence appearing
a calamity.


VI.

An innocent joy
one that is not meant to be
enjoy this moment.
