****** Bad In A Brutal Bridal Blade!
HEAR YE HEAR YEIt's a wedding bell for bedding well cause' we're crushin' the illusion of Russian collusion! CNN wets on Russian bedding but Trump bets on Russian wedding, and you're invited to the bridal shower. Punking the monkery, dig the debunkery; from Rasputin to Putin it's time for some straight shootin'. Hillary looks old and glowers at Donald's rumored golden showers. Our media owes US an explanation for streams of steaming urination, but we are willing to forgive and use their wet diapers as debt wipers. My poem's appeal may take a toll, but let its little peal now roll: ****** ****** rings the bell A Fake News warning; time to spell out what was wet with Moscow girls. Putin's putas ?  Wisdom's pearls were pried from Truth's reluctant shell, banishing Hillary straight to hell. None. It's what we want left over from this hag. We now discover beds were dry; it all amounted (all those golden tricks recounted) to less than a tepid bowl of kasha. . . Russia laughed from her summer dacha. InfoWars was on it first while Dems spun lies from false to worst, awarding cash for faked dossiers embellished with the CIA's well-trained performing circus-seal. The FBI endorsed the deal as RINOS horned in on the action: Washingtonian distraction; a democrat-concocted fuss— . . . but we ALL paid Hillary to **** on us.

Fake News Wets Bed
Seduced by clichés of love, We signed on for wedding doves, Being at those wedding receptions, All clichés of norms' conventions, Having a cream puff wedding day, An expensive way of getting laid, All clichés for the bridal industry, Trite cant, and hypocrisy, BUT--the appliances outlived everyone!! Wedding gifts when once were young, On film noir weddings I ponder on, As these golden years I wander from, All that phony hypocrisy, Cliches and norms of society, D.I.V.O.R.C.E. (Who didn't hate going to the in-laws for tea?)

Blessed are they whose baby-souls are bright, Whose brows are sealèd with the cross of light, Whom God Himself has deign'd to robe in white— Blessed are they! Blessed are they who follow through the wild His sacred footprints, as a little child; Who strive to keep their garments undefiled— Blessed are they! Blessed are they who commune with the Christ, Midst holy angels, at the Eucharist— Who aye seek sunlight through the rain and mist— Blessed are they! Blessed are they—the strong in faith and grace— Who humbly fill their own appointed place; They who with steadfast patience run the race— Blessed are they! Blessed are they who suffer and endure— They who through thorns and briars walk safe and sure; Gold in the fire made beautiful and pure!— Blessed are they! Blessed are they on whom the angels wait, To keep them facing the celestial gate, To help them keep their vows inviolate— Blessed are they! Blessed are they to whom, at dead of night,— In work, in prayer—though veiled from mortal sight, The great King's messengers bring love and light— Blessed are they! Blessed are they whose labours only cease When God decrees the quiet, sweet release; Who lie down calmly in the sleep of peace— Blessed are they! Whose dust is angel-guarded, where the flowers And soft moss cover it, in this earth of ours; Whose souls are roaming in celestial bowers— Blessed are they! Blessed are they—our precious ones—who trod A pathway for us o'er the rock-strewn sod. How are they number'd with the saints of God! Blessed are they! Blessed are they, elected to sit down With Christ, in that day of supreme renown, When His own Bride shall wear her bridal crown— Blessed are they!

This yellow saree she wore Just once in her life had wrapped A coy twenty-year-old bride Tentatively setting her dainty foot Into the hesitant bridal home . Somewhere in the backwoods Several industrious silkworms Had spun miles of salivary yarn In the foliage of the mulberry tree To make this golden yellow saree . The rustle of her silk drowned The wails of the boiling cocoons The worms died that beauty would live In their plaintive cries lay bridal hopes . My mother, the bride of yesteryears, Is now as non-existent as the worms That had ceased to exist spinning The smooth silk for her bridal finery . Her bridal fragrance lives on among The delicate folds of these gossamer silks That the worms had died weaving. Death is so fragrant , so memorable.

My mother’s silk
WHEN Grace Gray uncovered her wedding dress from the back of the wardrobe, she knew exactly what to do with her something old – turn it into something new. The doting gran gifted her much-loved satin gown to her daughter Michelle, so she could have it made into a christening robe for her baby Pippa. And the beautiful wee girl was all smiles on her special day in her hand-me-down, upcycled gown. Michelle, 32, said: “I always loved my mum’s wedding dress and never imagined it would become my daughter’s christening dress, but I’m so glad it did. “For Pippa to be christened in such a special family dress made the day all the more amazing.” Grace, 54, wore the pearl-encrusted ivory dress when she married husband William, 73, in Clydebank 18 years ago. Michelle helped her mum to pick the dress and was a bridesmaid at the wedding. She said: “I was quite young when my mum married my stepdad and I remember going shopping with her when she picked the dress. “It had lots of pearls and diamantes and I just loved all the sparkle. She looked so beautiful.” After her wedding, Grace packed away her dress in a box and kept it at the back of her wardrobe. Michelle, who is looking forward to her own wedding to partner Frazer Ward, 29, next year, said: “It has been there ever since but she came across it when she was clearing out. “It was her idea to have it turned into a christening dress for Pippa.” The family took the dress to Fabricated Bridal Alterations in Glasgow, where the seamstresses made not only the christening dress but a head band for Pippa and a matching hair clip for her sister Tilly, four. Michelle, who also lives in Clydebank, added: “I did feel a little bit anxious at the thought of mum’s dress being cut up but the end result was so beautiful. “Mum had a tear in her eye when she saw it.” Grace said: “I can’t think of any better use of my wedding dress than seeing it given to my granddaughter for her christening. “I felt really honoured to share in her big day in such a special way. I was overwhelmed by how beautiful she looked.” Andrina Greig, of Fabricated Bridal Alterations, said there was a rising trend for women to put their wedding dresses to good use. She added: “We’ve had more and more women getting their wedding dresses made into a christening gown for their children – but this is the first time we have had a grandmother’s dress brought in to be made into a christening gown. “Michelle’s mum’s dress was perfect for the transformation. “It was in great condition and the beading, bow and button details were ideal for scaling down and keeping as a feature on the christening dress. We were thrilled with how beautiful Pippa’s gown looked.” read more:www.marieaustralia.com/formal-dresses-adelaide www.marieaustralia.com/red-carpet-celebrity-dresses

Roses, their sharp spines being gone, Not royal in their smells alone, But in their hue; Maiden pinks, of odour faint, Daisies smell-less, yet most quaint, And sweet thyme true; Primrose, firstborn child of Ver; Merry springtime’s harbinger, With her bells dim; Oxlips in their cradles growing, Marigolds on death-beds blowing, Larks’-heels trim; All dear Nature’s children sweet Lie ‘fore bride and bridegroom’s feet, Blessing their sense! Not an angel of the air, Bird melodious or bird fair, Be absent hence! The crow, the slanderous cuckoo, nor The boding raven, nor chough **** Nor chattering pye, May on our bride-house perch or sing, Or with them any discord bring, But from it fly!

Bridal Song
I have fallen in love with the dress at my first sight of the dress. The chiffon fabric is very flowing and elegant. I love the dress! I would rate 100 scores for the dress and the customer service from MarieProm. I received the dress in a few days. The dress length is fine when I wear the shoes with heels. The most beautiful part I like is transparent collar of the dress. It makes the dress special. Thank you for your effort. I just bought the dress days ago for my wife! She is so excited to receive this gorgeous dress. It is said that the izidressbuy .com makes fabulous dresses with high quality fabrics,It fits me perfectly and it is everything thought it would be. And the shipment speed is amazing! Hoping to get it soon! Arrived quickly and fitted perfectly... size chart was very accurate and true. The custom service girl told me their production team has improved the fabric on this dress by choosing a kind of new lace fabric. Yes it really is! I love sooooo much the fabric and whole version of this little white dress!The dress was everything I imagined. The details of the dress were exactly like the picture. I ordered the dress in my normal size and it fits perfectly. The dress took approximately 2 weeks to arrive after I purchased it. The customer service team at izidressbuy was very helpful and worked really hard to have my dress arrive early for my formal event. This dress is beautiful, and very flattering. I love it! Unfortunately, I wanted to wear it to a wedding - the ceremony is at 1pm; the reception is at 5pm. It is perfect for the reception, but too dressy for the ceremony since I will be doing a reading and would be way more dressy than the bridal party. It's definitely evening wear. Beautiful though. Haven't decided if I'm keeping it or not. I can't use for the intended purpose, but I could definitely wear it for years and years to other events. Also, dancing in it could be problematic because it is quite long (just above ankles on me, and I am 5' 8-1/2") and it's straight, with no slit. You'd have to hold it up a bit to dance. But again... it's a gorgeous dress.Read more here:www.marieaustralia.com/short-formal-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/formal-dresses-2015

“Angelica arguta”, He shows her his wildflowers “Angelica Susannah”, he says. And prodded further by her His heart. Lingers briefly with the night; Her affection has power, But not enough To keep him From marching off to fight. Tristan, son of One Stab, Brings wildness from the mountains. Lovely woman from the East, Fascinated by her, His passion. Revels in her bridal bower, And stops her Loving any other. Alfred, eldest son of his father, Full of rectitude and romance. Angelica abandoned, Adrift between the mountains Becalmed far from the sea. He takes advantage, Snatches her soul with riches, But never captures Her longing heart. Years pass and one son gone, The other lost and mad. Year of the red grass and Happiness found Is felt too soon. Tristan loves young Isabel, But Angelica is his doom. Yet only he survives The waves that lash her shore, “Like water in the ice, She breaks them.” And in the Spring, Is gone once more. Angelica Susannah is buried Above the box canyon in the meadow Among the many dead. Near Samuel’s heart, The executed Isabel, And others who follow soon. Until only Tristan remains, Left to hunt his nemesis, The bear inside him. And dream of one wife lost, And a lover left behind: Angelica Susannah Beside whom he should lie. He is slain by the bear in Sixty-three, After forty years of solitude. And laid to rest in the plot Between two women he loved, Isabel, his ingenuous wife And Susannah, his tragic love. Do their spirits meet at last And wander the golden fields, Or ride out to bathe in the hot springs, Under the moon of the falling leaves?

Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright! The bridal of the earth and sky— The dew shall weep thy fall to-night; For thou must die. Sweet rose, whose hue angry and brave Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye, Thy root is ever in its grave, And thou must die. Sweet spring, full of sweet days and roses, A box where sweets compacted lie, My music shows ye have your closes, And all must die. Only a sweet and virtuous soul, Like season’d timber, never gives; But though the whole world turn to coal, Then chiefly lives.

Virtue
Today you will see a sight very rare. hypocrisy will come in bridal wear. Will be removed all clothes of creeds. Roaming naked will be seen deeds. Cats will show their vegetarian teeth; And rats will witness standing high on feet. Tons of civilized men on streets you'll see; And in their trousers many will *** Today you will see a sight very rare. Hypocrisy will come in bridal wear.

**On 2nd Dec 1984 Occurred World’s worst industrial disaster, “The Bhopal gas tragedy” Leaving thousands dead, Children orphaned and many people with disabilities for life. Following day, Cries of help were heard Amongst the dead, Lay few children alive Shone bright, a ray of hope, Miraculously the deadly effects Of the gas they could cope. Taken under the caring wings of an NGO, With Medical aid administered And the vital  support to grow. Amongst the children There was a girl named Ganga And a boy named Ravi, together with other such children, they grew up, Finding solace in each other’s Company. When reached teenage, the girls had to be moved in a women’s hostel. Distanced made them closer to each other, And, the love grew stronger. Ganga always dreamt of riding pillion on a bike with Ravi . Ravi, the crazy boy, sold his house (compensation by govt.) And fulfilled her desire, Often they went for long rides. In the following years, The love bloomed, And With blessings and love, their marriage was solemnised By the NGO. All the women from the hostel Joined the wedding ceremony, Bollywood songs were played loudly, The Haldi, Sangeet and Mehendi ceremony made it more lively On the wedding day, Ganga attired in traditional weaves And bridal make up, A beautiful bride she looked The hostel warden and her spouse did her “Kanyadan”. Fortunate was I to bear the testimony of the union, As I stayed in the working women’s hostel then. Ganga moved in to her house with Ravi to welcome a life anew.**

Sung by the people of Faery over Diarmuid and Grania, in their bridal sleep under a Cromlech. WE who are old, old and gay, O so old! Thousands of years, thousands of years, If all were told: Give to these children, new from the world, Silence and love; And the long dew-dropping hours of the night, And the stars above: Give to these children, new from the world, Rest far from men. Is anything better, anything better? Tell us it then: Us who are old, old and gay, O so old! Thousands of years, thousands of years, If all were told.

A Faery Song
'Of course I was drugged, and so heavily I did not regain consciousness until the next morning. I was horrified to discover that I had been ruined, and for some days I was inconsolable, and cried like a child to be killed or sent back to my aunt.' -Mayhew, London Labour and the London Poor Even so distant, I can taste the grief, Bitter and sharp with stalks, he made you gulp. The sun's occasional print, the brisk brief Worry of wheels along the street outside Where bridal London bows the other way, And light, unanswerable and tall and wide, Forbids the scar to heal, and drives Shame out of hiding. All the unhurried day, Your mind lay open like a drawer of knives. Slums, years, have buried you. I would not dare Console you if I could. What can be said, Except that suffering is exact, but where Desire takes charge, readings will grow erratic? For you would hardly care That you were less deceived, out on that bed, Than he was, stumbling up the breathless stair To burst into fulfillment's desolate attic.

Deceptions
For the first time on campus, Sisters on the Runway will strut and pose for domestic violence awareness. Sisters on the Runway will be hosting its first annual fashion show from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. tonight in the Business Building. All proceeds will be donated to the Centre County Women's Resource Center, Layla Taremi president of the organization, said. Sisters on the Runway is a national student-run organization that raises awareness about women and children who reside in domestic violence shelters. There are over five chapters throughout the nation, each supporting the same cause to local shelters. It was founded in 2009 and has grown since then, Taremi (sophomore-marketing) said. Aside from the fashion show, which is the biggest fundraising event that the organization hosts, Sisters on the Runway is also responsible for other events. The organization hosts a chalking event where they write facts about domestic violence on sidewalks using chalk. This is a way for them to raise domestic violence awareness, Taremi said. It also hosts a walk where all participants walk a mile in heels for awareness. The show will consist of eleven female models and three male models, Edie Alexander, the event planner, said. Alexander said the show is expected to showcase clothing from Connections, Dwellings, Diamonds and Lace Bridal and Harper's, who are also their sponsors. Looks Hair Salon will be responsible for hair and makeup for the models in show, Taremi said. "There is no theme for the show,” Taremi said. “It will be a wide spectrum of clothing." The male models are expected to walk the runway showcasing suits and tuxedos, Taremi said. Originally the show was not going to include male models. It wasn't until the owners of Harper's decided to contribute to the show by donating some men's apparel for the fashion show. All the models participating have been building up their confidence for the runway, Alexander (sophomore-recreation park and tourism management) said. "I'm excited for our first annual fashion show, I hope this brings more awareness to the Penn State community," Vice President Lauren Shearer (sophomore-supply chain management) said. The organization’s goal is to get a lot of people involved through different events to help raise awareness of domestic violence, Shearer said. "We’re trying to push people to come, not just Penn State students, because it's not an issue that doesn't only affects college students,” Alexander said. “It affects everyone as well."Read more here:www.marieaustralia.com/long-formal-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/formal-dresses-adelaide

ROSES, their sharp spines being gone, Not royal in their smells alone, But in their hue; Maiden pinks, of odour faint, Daisies smell-less, yet most quaint, And sweet thyme true; Primrose, firstborn child of Ver; Merry springtime's harbinger, With her bells dim; Oxlips in their cradles growing, Marigolds on death-beds blowing, Larks'-heels trim; All dear Nature's children sweet Lie 'fore bride and bridegroom's feet, Blessing their sense! Not an angel of the air, Bird melodious or bird fair, Be absent hence! The crow, the slanderous cuckoo, nor The boding raven, nor chough **** Nor chattering pye, May on our bride-house perch or sing, Or with them any discord bring, But from it fly!

Bridal Song
My grandparent's house ten-kid-large and sinking on the corners of remembrance Remodeled now, to ...tenements Honeycomb ...the remnants Irish immigrant and Scottish orphan's child She sang on the ferry He fell in love "The rest is the history of us...." Wide as the Connecticut River, grieving-- in their sunset.... ________________ This-- chair is his I am afraid of it-- of his learning of the shiny badge pinned to his coat of his dying... Golden leather of it soothes his memory-- of another continent of the once warmth-- of a distant hearth so darkened now-- where his head once rested ...his hands and, I fear-- his mind.... I will not sit in it as if he will come back, to take his place I am afraid of him-- with his chair-- all worshipful and empty like a high place, abandoned to the heart attack not for grandchild play Seat of Authority still stamped beside the standing cold-- brass ashtray Pipe smoke imagines itself against the ceiling in the words of Yates and Milton He read to them and somehow-- Paradise is Lost.... _______________ This house is cold now-- even in the summer-- cold Worn as only large families wear The War of waiting shadows --four brothers who were spared Anna Mae, in charge, too young, worries in abrupt dark of dinning room Her face, haunted-- an archway-- ever empty by the large and ghostly table covered by its web of lace-- a bridal veil of Catholic impossibility... Anna Mae, held hostage by her thoughts of darling, Sean... Aunt Lil's “breakdown” with cigarette and thorazine   quaking quiet in her corner Aunt Nell, as blind as ******** hell ironing, darning with threads that thatch the wounded socks Holds it all together, scolding-- Brought the welcomed jelly donuts sneered as Yankees clobbered Boston all-- while drinking yellow ale Uncle Eddie-- laughing hoarsely cracks nuts over a wooden bowl

Draped in bridal red Amidst widowed landscapes she stands With her veil swaying gently in the breeze And blossoms tinkling at her feet Fractured light decorates her Revealing rubies hiding in her tresses She brings forth her veil Shading weary scorched souls An oasis Amidst desolate desert sands The forest fire rages Against fate which brought upon us this drought Rekindling hope Of new birth and mercy And rages Until it's time for gentle showers and soothing greens Then tired Sleeps until the end of spring

Thrill with lissome lust of the light, O man ! My man ! Come careering out of the night Of Pan ! Io Pan . Io Pan ! Io Pan ! Come over the sea From Sicily and from Arcady ! Roaming as Bacchus, with fauns and pards And nymphs and styrs for thy guards, On a milk-white *** come over the sea To me, to me, Coem with Apollo in bridal dress (Spheperdess and pythoness) Come with Artemis, silken shod, And wash thy white thigh, beautiful God, In the moon, of the woods, on the marble mount, The dimpled dawn of of the amber fount ! Dip the purple of passionate prayer In the crimson shrine, the scarlet snare, The soul that startles in eyes of blue To watch thy wantoness weeping through The tangled grove, the gnarled bole Of the living tree that is spirit and soul And body and brain -come over the sea, (Io Pan ! Io Pan !) Devil or god, to me, to me, My man ! my man ! Come with trumpets sounding shrill Over the hill ! Come with drums low muttering From the spring ! Come with flute and come with pipe ! Am I not ripe ? I, who wait and writhe and wrestle With air that hath no boughs to nestle My body, weary of empty clasp, Strong as a lion, and sharp as an asp- Come, O come ! I am numb With the lonely lust of devildom. ****** the sword through the galling fetter, All devourer, all begetter; Give me the sign of the Open Eye And the token ***** of thorny thigh And the word of madness and mystery, O pan ! Io Pan ! Io Pan ! Io Pan ! Pan Pan ! Pan, I am a man: Do as thou wilt, as a great god can, O Pan ! Io Pan ! Io pan ! Io Pan Pan ! Iam awake In the grip of the snake. The eagle slashes with beak and claw; The gods withdraw: The great beasts come, Io Pan ! I am borne To death on the horn Of the Unicorn. I am Pan ! Io Pan ! Io Pan Pan ! Pan ! I am thy mate, I am thy man, Goat of thy flock, I am gold , I am god, Flesh to thy bone, flower to thy rod. With hoofs of steel I race on the rocks Through solstice stubborn to equinox. And I rave; and I **** and I rip and I rend Everlasting, world without end. Mannikin, maiden, maenad, man, In the might of Pan. Io Pan ! Io Pan Pan ! Pan ! Io Pan !

I saw thee on thy bridal day— When a burning blush came o’er thee, Though happiness around thee lay, The world all love before thee: And in thine eye a kindling light (Whatever it might be) Was all on Earth my aching sight Of Loveliness could see. That blush, perhaps, was maiden shame— As such it well may pass— Though its glow hath raised a fiercer flame In the breast of him, alas! Who saw thee on that bridal day, When that deep blush would come o’er thee, Though happiness around thee lay, The world all love before thee.

Song
So seeing at the feet of the cross was Mary Magdalene looking for one last time in her soul lover's eyes before the death of love (Eros?) But in the distance is the Gnosis Knight Jason watching this scene of utter Substituted Love - (Bearing one another's burdens) this Eros (Romantic Love and Passion) in action? The death of duality and the unitive power and wisdom of God; yes the bringing together in the bridal chamber of the groom and bride in loves Eros type death in cosmic reality? The Gnosis Knight Jason comes close to the cross smiles at Mary Magdalene and whispers do you see by my eyes Mary? I see two Christ's becoming Unitive in Jesus and his body, male and female? I see Chokmâh (Wisdom) also on the cross in death with her husband part of Christ? This is Eros (Romantic Love and Passion) of The Christ, This is Eros (Romantic Love and Passion) of The Christ, This is Eros (Romantic Love and Passion) of The Christ, So I see Chokmâh with a full Red Rose Crown on the temple of the Christ; this is on the blessed head of Jesus, the son of humanity? Then Jesus gives up the Eros (Romantic Love and Passion ) and dies? The sky turns black to say is LOVE (Eros, the Romantic Love and Passion) really dead? Then they take the body of Jesus to the garden tomb to plant the Rose Bush Seed of Love (Eros, Romantic Love and Passionate Love) in the earth for three days to grow into the fullness of Agape (Universal Love?) Then Mary Magdalene waits in the bridal chamber (human heart) she keeps the hope and knowing Love's Passion is stronger than death itself? The Gnosis Knight Jason is waiting to see his Queen Chokmâh (Wisdom) come from the garden tomb as well? Then on that blessed morning Mary Magdalene says the blessed words my Teacher? The rest of the story is known. But Gnosis Knight Jason sees a woman caring for a budding Rose bush and she turn's and smiles; yes Knight Jason; It is I the Queen part of Christ; Chokmâh (Wisdom) Herself? So The Queen Chokmâh (Wisdom) says to the Queen's Hand; the Knight Jason; it is I, Chokmâh (Wisdom) Herself Again? Because Her Knight Jason was shocked and never answered the first time? Because he thought she really is apart of The fullness of Christ Itself? Then the good Knight Jason answer's; I am not worthy to be your blessed hand my Queen? But the Queen lets her Knight give her a sweet kiss on her Blessed and Holy lips to make Knight Jason's unworthy lips clean again? So this sweet holy kiss to make his lips worthy and clean in Cosmic Reality? The Knight Jason replies - "Thus from my lips by thine my sin is purged."  Then the Knight Jason asks my Queen am I also begotten and reborn by the sweet loves holy kiss in Cosmic Reality? The Queen Smiles and says that is how the children of Wisdom are begotten in Cosmic Reality.  Then he kneels and she crown's her knight; a king of her unitive gospel of Wisdom and Life? Then Chokmâh (Wisdom) says She will give you a Red Rose Garland to grace your head and present you with a glorious Red Rose crown. The Bridal Chamber is now open for unitive Wisdom to enter into the blessed garden of the groom and bride once more in Cosmic Reality? Now the Knight Jason And King rides from that garden tomb with Chokmâh (Wisdom) before all time in Cosmic Reality? You see Knight Jason sees Red Rose Petals falling from Heaven before her blessed feet in Cosmic Reality bringing The Love, The Passion Of The Love, Friendship and True Life before Her everywhere She goes in Cosmic Reality? The Rose Fragrance of Chokmâh (Wisdom) fills Cosmic Reality Itself with the Sweet Fragrance of Love and Life and The Fragrance fill's The Groom's And The Brides of Cosmic Reality Itself? This adds the sweet Rose Fragrance to the bridal chamber of bridal chambers in Cosmic Reality? The Knight Jason's symbol of love and romance is a single Red Rose to give this single Red Rose to his sister bride in Cosmic Reality? But Christ's Passion is this Romantic Love And Passion Overcomes death; this death is not to stop the anger of God falling on humanity from The Father and The Mother parts of God? But it is a unitive Substituted Love to bring unitive power and wisdom to craft together groom and bride again in Cosmic Reality? This is to bring unitive power and wisdom and craft together the duel flames of Adam and Eve in the bridal chamber again in Cosmic Reality? So Chokmâh (Wisdom) Crafts and Sews together The Wedding Garments of the Male and the Female Knights of the Unitive Kingdom of The Single One in Cosmic Reality? So human wedlock in the flesh is a symbol of a higher Cosmic type wedlock? So romantic love and human wedlock is the door way to the garden and the bridal chamber of chambers in Cosmic Reality? So the Romance and Passion of Christ is this, This is Eros (Romantic Love and Passion) of The Christ, This is Eros (Romantic Love and Passion) of The Christ, This is Eros (Romantic Love and Passion) of The Christ.

Lo, I have loved thee long, long have I yearned and entreated! Tell me how I may win thee, tell me how I must woo. Shall I creep to thy white feet, in guise of a humble lover ? Shall I croon in mild petition, murmuring vows anew ? Shall I stretch my arms unto thee, biding thy maiden coyness, Under the silver of morning, under the purple of night ? Taming my ancient rudeness, checking my heady clamor­ Thus, is it thus I must woo thee, oh, my delight? Nay, 'tis no way of the sea thus to be meekly suitor­ I shall storm thee away with laughter wrapped in my beard of snow, With the wildest of billows for chords I shall harp thee a song for thy bridal, A mighty lyric of love that feared not nor would forego! With a red-gold wedding ring, mined from the caves of sunset, Fast shall I bind thy faith to my faith evermore, And the stars will wait on our pleasure, the great north wind will trumpet A thunderous marriage march for the nuptials of sea and shore.

Diwali Greetings
This week, Jesse Herndon has more on her plate than the typical high school student. She has spent hours after school each day making calls, finalizing details for an event happening Sunday. Collecting donated items for an upcoming silent auction. Calling every bakery in Greensboro. “It’s very stressful,” said Herndon, a junior at Weaver Academy. But it’s all for a good cause. She’s organizing an event with free pastries, live music, a fashion show and a silent auction, which will be held at 7 p.m. Sunday night at The Blind Tiger, 1819 Spring Garden Street in Greensboro. Admission is $4 with the donation of clothing of any size. The goal is to collect clothes that would comply with Standard Mode of Dress, or SMOD, the uniforms required at some local schools. The fashion show will feature clothes from Plato’s Closet, Mack and Mack, and Patina Bridal and Formals. The silent auction would include items such as Weaver Academy student artwork and a gift bag full of beauty products valued at about $200. Herdon is still seeking donations of items to auction. The event will benefit Backpack Beginnings, a local organization that provides food and clothing for thousands of local needy children. All 127 Guilford schools have a dress code, but a few dozen require students to wear uniforms. Some parents have complained about the cost of buying the uniforms. They’ve also complained that the uniform dress codes vary from school to school, requiring additional clothes purchases if a child changes schools. Parents and some students also described dress code violations for wearing a jacket with a hood, a logo deemed too large or the wrong color shoelaces. “SMOD is really expensive,” Herdon said. She knows because her sisters have attended SMOD schools. In January, the Guilford County Board of Education unanimously approved changes to its policy on SMOD. Principals of current SMOD schools have until June to survey parents on whether to continue requiring students to wear uniforms in the 2015-16 school year. Now, school administrators at traditional schools also have to get public input before requiring uniforms. Ever two years, traditional schools with SMOD have to reconsider requiring uniforms and demonstrate public support for the policy.Read more here:www.marieaustralia.com/evening-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/bridesmaid-dresses
