What Was I Thinking, O'Yes
My arrival landed where I began my flight and journey
Sunny San Diego y e s, I was back and how I missed it
Oh-h-h-h, let me count the ways—rather days spent
in a border town, oh what was I thinking?
Ah that’s what, it was your sugar kisses
Some artists dabble in the art of alchemy
that wasn’t

For Brides We Barely Knew
green chiffon prom dresses for my identical twin and myself
Spent most of the summer of seventy, not on a hanger or shelf
First there was prom, but then we were in a wedding or two
Ending up being bridesmaids for brides we barely knew
This is what happens when everyone wants twins in their wedding
Those green chiffon dresses

but brides wear white
But brides wear white with a touch of blue.
That’s right for them, for sure, it’s true.
But as for me, I am going to wear red said Gladys Bright.
My bridesmaids will proceed me down the aisle, wearing white.
It is not done! Her mother said with a traditional sigh.
Who cares? Said daddy. She is marrying a really

Brides Worldwide
That slow and spectacular gait of a bride
Brimming as she is with nuptial pride
With grace and beauty each regal stride
as invitees whisper, 'here comes the bride'.
She for her big day so perfectly embellished
Her love-match said to be divinely predestined.
On their big day even the plain-faced, homely ones
turn into comely beauties
A magical day as it

A Manual For Brides
Here, I wrote a bridal guide,
A rule book for future brides,
No matter if you're fair, fat and wide,
Or not, here's some dependable asides,
First, keep degrees and jobs up to date,
With some mates you can't relate,
You never know when the rats will turn,
To being a doormat, is what to spurn,
Keep some getaway money set

A Brides Chant
I set onward on the road my mother once trod
Leaving my bearers roof to meet a new kith and kin
Today I trail the path of my heart
To be as one with the one I love so dearly
Poised like my mother
With Her sweet beauty now prevailing in me
The beauty watered and refined
By heat and cold, in

Loves Beautiful Brides
Standing afore the store front window of lavender
Her beautiful mannequin, adorned in wedding attire..
Dreaming as an Angel then passes by; lovely her curves
Swaying inside my heart, such splendours; stirring, senses
While she smiles as says, good morning; both of us knowing
The beauty in making love unto another woman; purely divine.

Many Brides
Many Brides
The mind remembers many brides,
Of love an hurt an suicide,
Of how I went away and died,
In battle for the empire.
A hundred ladies took her place,
Not all were beautiful of face,
Loyalty counted at that place,
Axe murdered, then I died.
To hold the gaze of perfect Gwen,
Denied her hand, we’d meet again
Be caught an banished, but still

September Brides
SEPTEMBER BRIDES
` ` , ,,,, ,` `` ```,,,,,, ,`````
magenta boughs sheer as bridal lace
adorn mid summer-time trees
they flutter like acrylic confetti glazed,
and scattered on rapturous breeze
Botticelli petals drift like scarlet flakes down
to gather round pastoral feet,
their fragrance fills September’s gown
with brushstrokes so apricot sweet
bridal trees alight as beguiling mists
all clad in
