they pretend they are friends
no one buys this weird façade
they were the worst married couple ever
they were not even close when they were dating
why they got married is unknown to any of us
they pretend they are friends
when they would be much better off
avoiding and ignoring each other
why the façade?
None of us can guess.
Where waiters are treated like slaves and customers like gods
Where the wishes of the customers are fulfilled with a head nod
People look to gain respect from the price of their plates
Hungry customers that complain and too impatient to wait
Some order expensive dishes to impress and that's the norm
It becomes expensive celebrating the day they were born
It gets complicated with taste buds having a split decision
And the deceptive prices on the menu go unmentioned
Many work hard and eat fancy as a personal treat
Where the single hang out hoping for someone to meet
You would hear nasty gossip or a married couple having issues
Or statements made about a thankless customer who was rude
It's amazing how much people would pay for good service
But returning an order to the cook makes me nervous
Saying the customer is always right is a terrible view
Have you ever wondered what your waiter thought of you

Constance La France
Well, it's a mouthful that's longer than the Mississippi
But if you carefully chew every letter and word
And bravely swallow your fear
As your attempt will gain teeth and a hero
Let your tongue speak the word
And let those goldfish lips surface
But be cautious of inhaling
Or you will suck
Think of an odd married couple
Named Super and Alidocious
That had four beautiful daughters
Cali, Fragi, Listi, Cexpi
Sandwich them together
But first, remember the oral inspection
There ... you can see yourself relishing this balony
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious
Ram as we all visualize is vibrant light, purity, gentle and charming.
Ravan on the other hand is darkness. evil,hatred and always harming
Back in mythology we learned that it can be a choice made by our actions.
We can choose Ram or Ravan and then be ready for the following reactions.
Ram teaches us what it takes to be a real man for he emerged as a warrior even with discontent.
But then the man in Ravan did not allow him to put the integrity of a lady at stake without consent.
The goodness of Ram is always equated with lots of hardships and struggle.
His relationship gives partnership goals and advice to every married couple.
Ravan always lived life on his own terms and never wanted to be judged or alter his state of mind
The footsteps of whom are supposed to be followed has always been a question of debate for mankind.
There is a Ram and a Ravan believe in every individual on the face of this earth.
It depends on situations which make us cross the line or remain down to earth.
City lights
What stories do you tell?
A lonely woman checking out after a long day of work
One last sigh before the light goes out
A married couple fighting over the sound of a radio
The distress filling the air making everything feel tense
But the lights stay on much longer through the night
A homeless man sleeps on a bench
The street lamp just barely illuminating the snow falling onto the blanket
The only thing that is covering him
That light doesn’t go out at night, but inside it has
A man watches from the top of the city
Rich, everything supposedly figured out
The light is illuminated
But the light inside again, is not
The city may appear bright
But the darkness lies inside
While viewing a painting I liked by Paul Klee,
A docent-in-training came over to me.
Can I ask you some questions, if you wouldn’t mind,
About “Old Married Couple,” as she’d been assigned.
I told her the woman appeared to berate
Her husband, who seemed to accept this as fate.
His eyes, closed or downcast, displayed on his face
Resignation, as if he’d accepted his place.
The trainee, amused, didn’t say I was wrong
But her script sang a very much different-type song.
The husband was sleeping, the wife, sitting near,
Gazed with tenderness - how it was meant to appear.
I called to my husband to see what he thought
And he gave me the answer that I would have sought.
He agreed with my take, all the proof that we’d need
That we sure are an “old married couple” indeed.
Loving Day
When Richard and Mildred fell in love,
their fate was decided by a judge.
For he was white and she was black,
their marriage broke Virginia's Integrity Act.
Forced to move to Washington DC,
they opposed the ruling in 1963.
In 1967, a supreme court ruled that Richard and Mildred Loving could live together,
as an interracial married couple in their own state of Virginia,
and declared that the law prohibiting this was unconstitutional.
June 12 is National 'Loving Day', when many Americans continue to celebrate the freedom to marry a person of another race.
Festivals, barbecues, parties are held,
to show that love knows no bound.
When did we become that old married couple, too busy to live
everything we do is for others we give give give...
The kids are away on a summer retreat
there are no schedules we need to keep
The weekends free all our work is done
it's just the two of us time for fun
Let's get lost, lost in each others charms
discovering again how we first fell in love
Let's get lost, lost in each others arms
dwelling together embraced in love
Turn off our phones, time for us alone
lock the door leave on the lights
It's time for a little naughty delight
Tomorrow will come soon enough
but for today let it be for us
Our time alone is precious and few
let's share this chance and make it new
Have I told you lately I love you
let's show each other how much we do
Let's get lost, lost in each others charms
discovering again how we first fell in love
Let's get lost, lost in each others arms
dwelling together embraced in love...
Snuggle in
as snug as a bug in a rug
Be it a struggle
Be your limbs supple
Be you a married couple
or not ~ Snuggle in
from greatest joys to depths of despair.
the highs, the lows, the in-betweens;
the longtime married couple
have run the whole gamut
of their life journey.
despite hardships,
they still paddle
their canoe
across
creek.

We are a married couple
Loving the married life.
We’ve had our share of kids,
And we share a wonderful life.
We are older than you think,
And younger than you feel.
Tabitha is such a great cook
I have never missed a meal.
Now that we’re both retired,
and we take care of family to.
We are really enjoying life,
with a few house chores to do.
I love my wonderful wife
for she is trouble enough,
she takes her time with me
because...
I don’t like it rough.
We live in a nice house
we have her own cars to.
Tabitha likes helps me
write poetry
When she has a mind too.
We write poetry
from our own point of view,
if you take your time
and add a bit of heart ,
you can write poetry to.

the limelight has grown stale
refreshing is the entertainment in my mind
i smile at the old memories that plays like an acoustic guitar on a lemonade saturday
i laugh like an unexpected jump in a lake on a favorite flavored kool aid sunday
i do not want the attention or the entourage of pesky spotlights
rather, i want the simplicity of a gentle country breeze and a spot in the shade
if i could have her in my arms again, then that would complete the perfect vibe
but somebody had more sense and bravery than i did, so i just wave hello to the happily married couple and their four children
here comes miss ramona
i never noticed her until now
she asks me if i would like some company
i just shrug my shoulders while staring at her perky breasts
when she smiles, i hear b side oldie in my head
MOONLIGHT AND MUSIC/STARLIGHT AND MELODY
ruby inspires my careful conversation
miss ramona inspires the may and the december in me
it's when you least expect it and who you least expect
the twilight has resurrected itself, and i thank it ever so kindly
Let no one separate,
Until the final breath;
The married couple stay
In sickness and in health.
Vows of the groom and bride
Are well said and done;
The husband and wife are
No longer two but one.
The rings of commitment
Remind them of the love
That they should simply share,
Obeying God above.
They are firm and steady,
For poorer and for richer;
Even through thick and thin,
They just show utmost care.
Until death do they part,
Rise to reach heaven's gate;
Win over temptation,
Let no one separate.
