Fridge Magnets
I love my
fridge magnets. They’re much quicker than me at
combining numbers so I
pay them to do all
large number or
quantity questions in
my math tests and
homework assignments. We have a
special way of
communicating.

Rock paper scissors,
popular events have seat fillers;
seven minutes in heaven,
a bingo call of legs eleven.
Sweet and sour,
rising dough needs flour;
popcorn watching a movie,
forty years celebrated with ruby.
Smiles and sorrows with nostalgia,
a new year’s resolution mantra;
feeling outside and forever looking in,
hearing that theme alongside shark’s fin.
Prophecies predict fate,
women are told to fear being late;
wolves howl at the moon,
humming just one bar of a tune.
Opposites really do attract,
cliches mock the abstract;
digestion and enzyme,
but do poems have to rhyme?

Magnets never lie,
Magnets never die.
As will our love,
You and I
I have finally arrived,
To remain behind.
This time it will never break apart,
Till the very last time.

Opposite poles attract
Like poles repel
This is a scientific fact
Are we meant for each other
Only time will tell
We are meant for each other
Our love is perfect
You and I are forever
Darling, I truly love you
Will you accept?

warmth of holding hands on trips evanesced
sunlight still bounces off of
those keepsake fridge magnets

One mad day
Beneath a drunk moon
I will need you
Like fluffy beauty
After a frantic love
Screaming sweet luscious music
Deliriously through a winter storm
I will recall a time
Of Lazy Vision
And dreaming of you and me
Sleep together for eternity
Thousands of rose petals
On TV

"Picking up two magnets,
Mirrored in shape
Smooth as feather,
Stronger than this weather
Attempting to bend physics around
This force holds them back
Trying harder strains both their hearts
Destined to fall off the side
One tries to get close,
While the other pushes away
We're like magnets,
But not meant to be together"

When we first met it had seemed such a sure bet,
that it wasn't a bet at all.
It was visceral, a feeling originating from deep within.
If we were in the same room, or far away
it was as if we swallowed powerful magnets,
and were drawn to each other.
Felt like we had to be together.
Felt like we had to touch in some way.

There’s many magnets to see
for pizza delivery,
my insurance man, and more….
They stick on the door.

Free falling,
your ex is calling
You’re just stalling,
watch life falling.
Life is magnetic,
love turns kinetic
Her chest is synthetic,
her body magnetic.
Drugs help you smile
life’s not really worthwhile
Breathing’s out of style
on your face is death’s smile.

I gravitate toward you,
With no thought,
No hesitation,
No contemplation.
Just an unknown force,
Pulling me into you.
I can’t resist this
Unexplainable,
Unfathomable
Strength that is stronger than my body
And yours.
You move,
I move.
This power wants me to get closer to you.
My mind is consciously,
Constantly fighting,
But in the battle between this magnetism and logic,
The mystifying,
Mesmerizing,
Magical force
Wins this ongoing war.
