Gretna Green

A poem from 2016
A Scottish embrace
In bronze
Witnessed and sealed
High priest of the anvil
Were questions asked?
Young love
Rejected lovers
Frantic parents?
Undermined

Cross border elopements
Professional witnesses?
Facilitating happy couples
Brightening prospects
Happy rustics
Links of love
Good for trade
God of Love
On a pedestal
Real life beckons

Fait accompli
On return
New life within her
As yet unknown
Happy greetings?
Frowns and scowls?
Or lost forever
Never to come back?

Gretna Green
Romance scene
Married teen
Loved up sheen
Have you been?
