In The Mouth of Desire
The summer heat was turned up to blasting with a huge yellow sun looking down. Our sweat had sweat. If only there was a breeze to pass over us. In the mouth of desire sits July. A young couple is about to be wed. The groom all decked out in his black suit. The bride

Gate to our Eternity
"Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity."
--Khalil Gibran
She returns here every May sixteenth,
the day she was to marry.
I saw her GHOSTLY visage there
at the GATES of the cemetery.
I went, as I've done everyday,
to lay flowers upon her GRAVE.
I, the GRIEF-STRICKEN groom
just striving to be brave.
Just as the

On Being a Groom
The groom should assume while he’s there,
He ought not say aught au contraire.
Polish your shoes,
Smile at all news,
Till one and a one are a pair.

Joy sans grief, a groom-less bride
Full moons fill you with joy, seldom the New,
And pleasure you conceive as good, not pain,
Let me like New Moon that stars can I view,
As some poets devise ways pain to feign,
Which, helps them pen dirges and elegies,
Funeral hymns and odes of laments long,
Let them. Days-nights on an eternal lease,
One can’t be

When Summer Is Gone
Alas, my dear, we must away!
From Summer homes upon the Bay.
To winter in our warmer nests,
In Southern climes, which suit us best.
Your sister's grand debut went swell!
Gentlemen flock where ‘ere we dwell.
Invitations, voguish ballrooms,
Soon she will ‘meet well’ her fair groom!
Colorful flowers, is her way;
Your Sister just as bright and gay.
Of Summertime she is

The bride groom cometh--
His evil malicious taunting's
Lucifer shifts minions and demons;
Spiting on the womb of the bride;
Embracing her soul windows closed;
The bride groom cometh
Tried and tied in the knots of life;
Desperately seeking wife's;
Separate the rooms, implant shame doom;
Body count concludes;
The head is separated from the main;
The bride groom cometh
The fam is distain;
Calculated divisions;
The bride groom cometh
Dirty broken windows

Snail Loving Groom Loved her Dress
The poufy brocade gold trimmed snail dress was a bit much.
But to the bride’s faerie godmother, it was exactly the right touch.
She had designed it and wanted the princess to look her best.
The snail loving groom loved her dress, the very best test.

Hippo Hannah and her Groom
Hippo Hannah was as giddy as a wild horse that was loose
Today she was going to become the bride of her favorite goose.
I love him up and down and around and through she said.
His brother stepped in when the groom turned up dead.
Luckily the bride, Hippo Hannah never learned the truth.
She was never told this,

GOD'S GROOM AND DEVIL’S DAUGHTER
GOD'S GROOM & DEVIL’S DAUGHTER
In a chapel shrouded, moon's caress so slight,
Stood God’s own groom, within sight,
Vows exchanged in whispers, quiet & tender,
With Devil's daughter, her heart not to surrender.4
His heart like a pure cloth, untainted, neatly pressed,
She, in shadows wove, a fiery, unholy zest.
An angel’s voice, and eyes of sinful hue,
Together bound, a

The bride rolled her eyes and blew her husband a big kiss
He tried to give her a cuddle, but the cat meowed to beat the band
