Marriage Poems

A Lemon Yellow Hat

The morning light of a new day, 
cascades through the bedroom window. 
I am alone. 
Your pillow is soft, and close by, 
it still smells of you...
barely. 
I can close my eyes, 
and pray to see your...Read More

My husband's like to water, I to oil. 
We're masters of the knock-down, drag-out brawl. 
We just don't mix. I cause his blood to boil 
and he enrages me. The dude has gall!


From "Water and Oil," a parody of Edmund...Read More

When you marry a sweet gal
   you also marry
   her bossy sister
    and her frantic mother

You think - ha, ha!
   you'll live with your wife
   not with them --

Surprise!

My heart was pounding,
My breath catching,
I saw you sitting there,

You looked my way,
Our eyes kissed,
I was already falling,

You took me home,
You gave me roses,
The smell of your cologne,

My perfume,

Our lips met,
My mouth smiled,
I was falling,

You showed me patience,
I showed you...Read More

Two people met many years ago,
Their hearts would soon embrace,
They wouldn't let each other go,
Love could not be erased.

They married in a garden fair,
With flowers all abounding,
Their love...Read More

sure, we struggled holding strong hands at times-
wars of words hurting hearts, but never going to bed angry;
MAKING UP by MAKING LOVE - (whispers of him wanting me)
for he is my beginning that never ends....

Ocean waves softly crashing under the moonlight
Spoken whispers as we walk hand in hand along the shore	
Motion of the waves crashing is hypnotic and refreshing
Emotion expressed by your gestures leave me wanting more

Lips kissing, teasing me with your intoxicating woodsy...Read More

I think it's time for a white wedding;
For at the window, sunset's reddening!
Late in our love; we've loved long--
Deeply in love, our love is song.

I'd say it's time that we joined hands,
Exchanged bands, heeded heart's commands.
It seems to me a...Read More

Love
did not 
come into
the old concept
of what marriage meant:
that "made in heaven" line
had no currency back then,
but funnily enough it seems
many made apparently lasted
a great deal longer than some do today....Read More

Yes, I love you,
But not like some sniveling Juliet.

I love you more like a gambler loves the plug;
He bet his last dollar on in the third race.

I know you'll finish, if have to drag you with brute force
Across the finish...Read More

I kissed my wife goodnight
What if tomorrow never comes

Facing west not to ever miss a sunset
I close my eyes to imbibe its warmth
And listen to the symphony of nature
Soak in its every beat

I kissed my wife goodnight
Expressed how much I...Read More

Two hearts unite in holy matrimony
  Bride and groom sincere, no whiff of phony

Yet in a year or two springs up acrimony
  The likely cause unbending parsimony

All that money spent on pomp and ceremony
   Was better...Read More

Sailed from Wales to the USA
In Georgia to teach

And vowed himself wedded that day...Read More

Lost in grief and sorrow
Wednesday's child found a way
To take what was given
And mold something funny to say

Laughter paved a smooth road
Sarcasm made them think
Is she happy, sad, angry
One thing for certain, she'll never sink

....to despair

Marriage came in like a...Read More

They said it wouldn't last,
But our die we had cast.
They said I was a ass,
That I should give her a pass.

Now we are one, both of one heart,
We share the beat, never to be apart.
God brought us together,
To be one...Read More

Why in the dickens are we both still here?

The jet fuel of perception

The reasoning behind logic

The heartbeat of affection
is love

Their connection inherent

Of her dignity and the importance 
Of her private functions straight

The Bright Lights

Her hair is snow-white, 
but it was not always so. 
It was black, like the night. 
It was deep in color, 
near as dark as shadow, 
but not that of the moon...
facing out. 

She was warm, but now...Read More

Alpha and Omega

The reality is that I love men. 
They are perfect, just as they are. 
Not always doing as they are supposed to do. 
Not paying attention to fears that are false. 

Strong backbones, fierce fighters for right, 
and...Read More

THE GREAT BANQUET

I’ve been to many banquets and many smorgasbords;
The fare has been so sumptuous as there it all was stored.
I’d try to take a sample of everything I liked;
The salads were so tasty, the meat looked cooked just right.
