Married Poems

A strange sorrow once married me

Life, come thou unhurried to me,
Said she, it’s long buried, to me. 

A strange sorrow once married me,
Wonder who’d it carried to me.

Once a bubble dared laugh at me,
Blown soon, it looked harried to me.
	
Where’s the strainer that filters sins?
The query stands parried to me.

What all my joys can sweep aside,
Such brooms have never worried

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

Pant and Bra

He is a good man with morals
He takes good care of his wives
He boasts about his wives a lot
Especially people's wives.

Our husband doesn't cheat says the wives
He's a responsible man with morals
Just but ten he married us
He promised not to marry again.

Our husband doesn't sleep at home
He said we scream  a lot
He needs concentration

Married to a Shrew

He crawled out of the doghouse looking sad
His new wife was mean, big and bad
I had been warned, he said, by my dad
He had also married a shrew, big and bad

Married In White

the bridegroom had a certain reputation
but the bride was chaste
as clever young women are wont to be
married in white but why such haste

Married to Medusa

Inspired by Medusa, written and sung by Glenn Hughes, with Trapeze

I look at you and can only stare. 
I love your long and flowing hair,
your smiling lips and eyes that flash
as you bat each knowing lash.

Yet sometimes very late at night,
or when the light strikes you just right,
your beautiful hair turns into snakes.
Your look gives

MARRIED TO AN OLD MAN

Like a kite in the summer sky
The signs were there, easy to see—  
A looming end, dark as night 
Yet she soared, an owl in daylight

Blindly, she tied the knot
A Gen-Z tied to a millennial.  
Their days were songs of endless joy
Unaware of what greed could create.  

But as months replaced those

Let Us Get Married

They sat in love below a willow tree,
And from afar, they heard the rumbling sea.
He looked at her; green eyes seemed full of tears.
He asked what's wrong, afraid he saw some fears.
I am afraid, she said. I dare not tell.
The vale is vast, and flowers spread their smell.

I'm tired, my back aches, and I yearn
