Where do I eat? The groom asked his bride.
kitchen table was full of a large cat, Mr. Jeckell ak Hyde
Fat cat gave the honeymooner a sneer and a gentle hiss
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
Now the groom was wondering if he should have given her his hand
She was the ultimate cat mama, and deferred to Hyde every single time
This cat sat in the middle of each meal glaring that “she is mine”.

I've just returned from a perfect honeymoon
Why'd it have to end so soon
He carried me 'cross an ocean resort's threshold
~ Now I'm greeted by mountains of laundry to fold

Hoped, her hint turned green
From this hesitant orange
Ere I put out light,
But my luck was lean,
Her gesture looked out of range
To hit my mood’s height,
Stars are peeping in—
An alibi all so strange,
You picture my plight
When her nod turned red
From hopeful in-between shade
On that nuptial night!

Making Oklahoma
Rather than a lot later wish it was sooner
When we both would become a honeymooner
And off to Oklahoma one day we did go
Where living is easy and things seem so slow.
Wide open spaces are here, there and around
To outstanding Oklahoma we will be bound
All of your imagination there it can catch
And once it does even more may stretch.
Plains are found flat and cattle close by
Will live and love it here until day we die
Gave our thanks to God for all of His grace
And for making Oklahoma a perfect place.

Should have written this much sooner,
Now there’s just too much to say,
Even love-sick honeymooner
Wouldn’t leave his mom this way.
Last weeks all were good ones weren’t they?
No one knew what lay in store,
Easy talk as smooth as ballet
Sleep waltzed through the day and more.
I remember - were there coyotes?
Howls that laced peyote nights.
Desert air stirred pastel high notes
Cliffs that danced with ghostly lights.
Always there when ground fog lifted
By my side when shadows fell,
Guiding me when focus shifted,
Mom, you loved me, I could tell.
Tremulous now apprehension,
Something’s changing, like a spell,
Light that comes with new dimension!
Oh Mom, embrace your son’s farewell.

Like the Zephyr of anewly-dawn,
have you seen Her?
Had you seen Her,
a messanger of the horizon
more unpromiscuous!
The honeymooner of Twilght,
like a wingless angel in the morn-light...
Had you seen her coming
In the mirror- In her swing!
"Sweet-Serenade",
to emanate Love- exceptionally
Have you seen Her?
Had you seen Her,
where you've never been...
Beauty- Divine, like tropical hybiscus
is her smile- her breath, of lavender
worthy of praise and flattery!
Had you seen Her...
You'd finely treasure
the Lavishness of Liberty!
