could never be pried from their phones
Was cocksure gay couples

Marry had a little black sheep
and three bags full of wool,
She shared with the master,
and shared with the dame,
but not with little boy blue
who blew his horn at the spider.

Will you be the hero
within your own story
Will you marry the present,
dating the future and past
Will your legacy document
your truest intention
Or falsely imply
words abandoned—unheard

Attract them
with tomorrow
but give them today
Entrance them
with verses
that pause and delay
The moment
resplendent
divorcing from time
To marry
with wonder
— those hoping to find

To the one I will marry
Come to my house
Ill let you in
Let me show you
The pictures when
I wasn’t famous
But if you’re the
One I’ll marry you
Would know that
Shit already cuz
You would be here
Where I need you most

Merry Mary Blackberry fairy
will you marry me
Cows that play the live-long day

This ring will bind us,
To love me with all your heart,
We unite as one,
To be with me forever,
Hope you will accept it dear.
A symbol of peace,
Unity and purity,
My solemn prayer,
Marry me and live with me,
For the rest of my life, thanks!

Meghan and Harry
Read my story of Meghan and Harry
Went to Vegas, said let's marry
In true Elvis style
They rocked down the aisle
Witnessed by slot machine Larry
Sorry this is Meghan and Harry from Halifax
not the other two from Windsor

the day you asked me to marry you
i shed a tear
the day i walked down the isle
i cried
every time you hit me
i cried
every time you cheated on me
i cried
every time you walked out the door to go somewhere
i cried
the day we signed divorce papers
i cried

Prayer for the Priests of Mexico City
July in the streets
of Mexico City:
One of the women
one never would marry.
One of the women one sees
for an hour, for an evening.
Taco, tequila,
tequila with lemon.
Christ keep the priests
of Mexico City.

Lyric

I like your body.
I like your mind.
Your aura, perfect I find.
Your female ways, engross my days.
Your smiles and graces. I adore.
What more have you in store.
Your looks and laughter.
Fill the here after.
What you say makes me gay.
One day, I will say.
Marry me to-day.

mail your king your heart with love
manage your union with integrity, honestly,
and grace
march to beat of his drum; his ego that is at ease
marry with faith he’ll lead you to righteousness
men are the head in open the path to
marvelousness, metapsychology, money, muscle.

Prose Poetry

Murderer of my dreams,
how you suffocate them
like newborn babies,
claiming they were born wrong:
an inbuilt cancer,
an innate illness.
I can't help but sit beside
their little graves
and peek into
their open coffins,
entranced by their empty insides;
Marry me or bury me with them.

Once a man thought it good to be merry
Thus he decided never to marry
He gave parties every night
Having fun with all his might
When he died, none was there, him to bury!

Forget me not,
When roses bloom,
And water flows,
Time flies,
So and so,
Please son,
Forget me not
When I am old
And aged,
And you are still
Young and bright,
Marry, have kids,
And they take flight,
Please son,
Forget me not
Remember the past?
Your family history?
Don't let that go,
Forget that not,
Please,
Forget me not

Dramatic Verse

"Come here ever so my darling!
Come near my frequent flower;
Stand before me in the beauty of the breeze;
Come ever closer as I get on my knee;
~
This question I asked of thee;
Start as easy as it seems!
Would you my dear? Could you my dear;
~
Would you marry me?"

Crime yesterday may be "civil - ized" today
From debt, in England, sent famed Dickens ... Founding Father, Penn, to penitentiary
Is but a civil debt without jail, thank heavens
II
Yes a crime is a powerful group's definition
Rebellious America rejected debt as crime
Some groups say RAPE can't be, marry minor
Crime, Dears, is socially defined. And changed

I will marry a pumpkin or her sister
water melon
unless you slaughter
the heart is unreachable
I will marry yellow bananas or her sister
juicy oranges
unless you undress by force
the heart is unreachable
beautiful they are
but not loose
romantic they are
but not amorous
faithfully they live
for only those who must eat them
by fate or my force

You called and said that you loved me today
And now my smile won’t be put away
You called to say that you’ll love me tomorrow
And that my heart will never again know sorrow
You called to say that you’ll love me next year
And that you’ll never leave me, so I need not fear
You called to say that you’ll love me for life
So will I marry you and become your wife
