The Bride

Running and running
The gown runs after her
the veil catches the sun light
Her face is barely seen,
but we believe it will be a beautiful one
Almost most heroines are beautiful anyway
The make believe world of moving images
needs something familiar to anchor onto
the nostalgic and illusive notion of beauty
She rushes into a cafe
Again
another familiarity
We look at her intensely
As if she is being watched, constantly
She quickly finds a corner and sits herself down
Panting a little, she looks out the glass window
She looks around and sees a pair of deep set eyes
looking back at her over the counter
She blushes and looks away instantly
What is she running away from
Who is she running away from exactly
Is she really getting married this hot afternoon?
Why is she bare footed?
Where is her bridal high heels?
Is it red? Blue? White as snow?
Questions
more questions that needed answers
It will be revealed
Only when the film starts to roll
When the images start to move
When the words transform themselves
The bride will find her ultimate answer
The RUN has just begun
