After The VowsNow 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...

The Master BuilderI 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...

sad tale if a marriage gone wrongEvie and Steve married on Christmas Eve
We did not think they would ever leave
Very drunk Steve put his feelings on sleeve
his steps on the dance floor were more of a weave
Eve’s chest began to hem, haw and heave
Steve had certainly peeved our little Eve
Marriage was never consummated, but no one grieved
Matter of history, Eve’s family...

Marriage of Two MindsBehold 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...

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 CelebrationWhirlwind
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...

Donning rubber gloves, the wife does washing of clothes and dishesDonning rubber gloves, the wife does washing of clothes and dishes...
(plus cutlery, pots pans, et cetera) in the kitchenette sink.
She started what would immediately become
a first and last generation tradition
(the spouse as washer woman
and scullery maid)
soon after we moved here
eight years ago come July 1st, 2025.
I trumpet her pioneer spirit
to apply elbow grease

No Longer Icingtwo 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...

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 youI 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 DarlinFor 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 LifeIn 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...
