Justin Von Depathos strode across the ballroom floor 
To sit with Carlton Vishizwa and Charlotte Genivieve, 
While I watched, in silent fascination, from the door,
The “major players” waltzing ‘round the room that Friday eve.

Rolly, rolling in shallow surf, every wave a wisp
that'll move me through this sticky sand to the lush land.

arms flopping, flailing about, cool currents fill my ears;
mere vestige of...

So long I thought my trust was gone
withered in a vase that sat 
unwatered neglected posterity's memory

believed that someday still
I'd find one soul who's promise...

When the mid-day sun

So when I asked her
What does she sees in me?
She simply said, "It's the way that...

On my straw-like comfort,
With smudges just beneath the lids.
Dawn engulfing, still going forth
While the wind’s strength dwindles in its bid.
My ears muffled up to its opening
As musical sensations tingle it.
Same it did from a kit,...

Banging your head against the wall burns 150 calories an hour
However, there are some definite side effects
Remembering to put on you jockeys or your bra if you're a lady

Noticed on his calendar,
That it was now June...

It was just this morning.  That it was. 
At the table there sat only three.
There was Tux, the foam Linux penguin.

I never do tire of oatmeal.
But...

Raised by apes as a
feral child in the wild,
was as a young man
discovered by a rich American
anthropologist hiker who was retired,

Two young children play outside the house,
Inside a mother watches through windows folding a blouse.

With the kids in the back she heads to the chair,
When through the front window come soldiers, a pair.

One is dressed...

High on a hill hidden by shrubs
I am embraced by the branches of trees

Dear faces under glass
She’s wearing a white dress and veil,
He’s wearing a tux and crimson tie,
They smile radiantly as they look into each other’s eyes.

He’s beaming with pride,

On a blustery sunny Thursday
In December of fifty-four
We stood before a preacher
To pledge our love forever more

We didn't have a tux or gown
A suit and dress were worn
A nervous bride and groom they were
On that...

For near a fortnight now
Each element planned to perfection
Every detail intended to wow

To pack my feelings to a single night
