Premium Member After The Vows
Now that time has past do you feel the same Or are you arguing and pushing the blame Are you as attentive as you were when dating Hopefully your love was sincere and isn't fading Wasn't it so easy to shout out the words "I Do" After the vows your partner gets to see the real you What is it...

Premium Member The Master Builder
I don’t believe ideal love is real… Can castles in the sky be built to last eternities? Or rather burn, as fast as marriage papers (and melt the holy seal)? Besides, I hate to think I’m meant to steal the blueprint to a fortress from my past to use to plan my future, to forecast the whim of winds who caren’t...

Premium Member Marriage of Two Minds
Behold us one, the marriage of two minds, Two creatures of cross-continental births, With force of love the universe combines, Find, in each other, home, a fount of mirth. Behold us cleaved, the union of true souls, Embraced, dancing hearts shield us from the night, In our arms we find shelter from the cold, Move them together, to...

Premium Member 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...

Private Celebration
Whirlwind Of summer embers Stirs up From the un-mowed grass Swept by the brooms of July 4th fireworks Booming distant in the furled city Up high To the tree tops The fire flies rise To the hunger of bats that swoop as spoons Banging the pan of moon More than enough for all The stars Lightning bugs Moonbeams and bean wings Consciousness everywhere Our heads tilt On their cracked bodies Statues Still standing For a...

No Longer Icing
two dancing silhouettes, lurking in the shadows fireflies spark like static in the air a dream that bloomed from a far-fetched delusion, a love that demands lifelong care. i trip on the train of her white-laced dress, hoping some man might catch my fall. how typical of me, to make a mess, then run away before time can take it all. i envy the love i...

Premium Member If You Go Away
If you go away, and my heart breaks Weeping, for the moments We spent in the light of the morning Whispering our dreams, our hearts – memories Weeping, for the days – we colored with praise, The nights – we taught the stars to sigh, The joys, the smiles, the stirrings of insight The warmth and the healing, the beautiful feelings. If you...

I want to spend my life with you
I want to spend my life with you, Through times of red, of green and blue. For the sunset dance, and midnight walks, For never ending and the deepest talks. Red days for adventure, a passion for life, To dance forever, into the sun filled night. Seeing the sun, rise from your eyes, To light up horizons, of pastel skies. Green for peace,...

Come On Darlin
For Aunt Carolyn, in memory of Uncle Dennis They were just teens outside a gift shop door, He said, "Come on, Darling, let’s go explore." With a wink and a grin, and her hand in his, They stepped into life, not knowing how rare love like this is. From navy bases to state lines they flew, Boxes unpacked and smiles that...

Married Life
In the beginning, he was a dream, A perfect blend, or so it seemed. With every wish, he’d swoop and save, A knight in shining armor, oh so brave. “Where have you been?” I’d sigh and swoon, As he’d conjure up my heart’s cartoon. A band-aid for a paper...
