Best Nuptials Poems

This wedding is hard-labor duty
(All the guests are acting so SNOOTY!)
A whole lotta' bunk!
Guess I'll get drunk
And pinch that thar bridesmaid's stiff booty...

For Joann's contest...

On time
Sublime

My beau
Hel-lo!

Guests smile
No guile

Church hall
Too small

Tikes play
Then sway

So hot
Must stop

Slow-mo
I know

Kid hurls*
Hits girls

Bride’s dress
A mess

Aaww, hell
The smell!

Wiped down
Don’t frown

Do you...?
I do!

* hurls = vomits

Those lovely little precious moments
Moments we shared and treasured like two lovely doves
Doves that had fallen freshly in love
Love which had been nurtured over a long period of time
 
Time which had been kept assiduously by our bountiful parents
Parents who had been looking forward to...

Your hand holding my hand

Your eyes locked into mine

Our lips slightly wet from our kisses

Your body singing my bodies song

Your heart beating in time with mine

Our minds thinking our same thought

Your mouth speaking my words

Your mine and I'll forever be yours


For Lorena & Carlos, 2008....

After Goethe's "Ritter Kurts Brautfahrt"

Sire Gaddabout one spring-tide morn 
his sturdy dappled steed did mount. 
for he would wed the highly born 
Maid Ethrelda Holyfount 

He plucked his lute and sang an air, 
but scarce a league was trod 
than came a cry. "Beware, beware!...

A sweet-poison par excellence
An incident uncommon in species other
An out-of-the-way vow for life
To breathe and die for one another.
Departing from old loved ones 
 Longing for unknowns
A challenge to lead life better than others
A solacing shackle and   ‘loss of freedom’,
As Jagmohan sir used...

My love you have found me in my proudest hour.
My dear I found you in my prayers so clear.
Soon we shall be bound in harmony of power.
Soon we shall be together in a bond so sincere.

Take my hand and promise to love me forever.
I take...

Poetry...
the marriage of
raw emotion,
—and unbridled thought

I cannot bear to entertain
Thoughts veiled in white, wearing a train
Trimmed in lace and love-adorned
Pretty, pristine, and so I scorn
Thoughts that flicker, quenched again
By the eternal chill within the space
Between, and washes clean the slate;
Bringing at last to a hush, and nearly too late,
A voice...

Better to reach for something
and miss
than to hold back playing it safe

Destiny in the intention
and choice
hesitance falling from grace

Better to be adopted 
by truth in flight
than the orphan of a lie

Where words and music marry as one
on the highest mountain
—you climb
