Our Lives Now Entwined Through Mutual Consent
Our lives now entwined through mutual consent
As we agree to face the tests life presents,
Expressed in exchanged vows of matrimony
With wedding rings glistening on our fingers.
In front of kin and friends under umbrellas
(Who bear witness while memories develop),
As audacious thoughts waylay in truth exposed,
When promissory words by us are spoken,
“Before God, we profess our belief in faith,
To love, cherish, and honour one another.”
Then embrace each other with feelings conveyed
And seal with a kiss our future together.
Sanctifying our bond in marital union
Beyond an objector’s inapt interruption.
I want to rewind and not change,
Stay and hold on to the days when your name felt like home.
When our conversations were not careful,
When love wasn't something to be attenuated,
But something that simply was.
I'm surviving the silence you left behind,
Trying to fill the gaps with memories,
Tricking myself, saying time can walk backward,
Can undo the unraveling, and can stitch ourselves whole again.
This is not war but absence,
Not betrayal but distance,
Not anger but the quiet ache of being left behind.
I don't know where to place this longing,
The pain to return to the place that no longer exists.
But if love was once real, does it still echo?
And if I reach for you, will I only find empty air?
Your name doesn't matter
I just dont wanna know
This I feel for you is true
If this is love I thank you
If the feeling is mutual
I wanna know if you feel it too
That of all the people living in the world
Nothing matters to me like you.
We finally agree on something
Love and respect make
Life's hurdle easily break
Road easy to take.
Israel says Hamas-Gaza commits genocide
murdering innocents while they paraglide
Meanwhile Gazans weep and cry
for thousands of innocents they claim died
I know a Chicagoan who really tried
to understand the rationale of each side
He's concluded it’s mutual suicide
Are you who you want to be
I see you and you see me
Are we two for all to see
I want you and you want me
Will you truly always be
I'll be truly all to thee
Will you give your love to me
I'll give all thy love to thee
People want to pull me downtown Lester Brown
they wear sandals on their feet and my head wears a crown
prizes in their wicked eyes a cricket wicket bouncing highs
inside I’m a lion pride and they’re all pesky little flies
they land they bite but I don’t die never will but still they try
aiming all this hate at me competitors apparently
beating me would make their day but I’m not bothered anyway
some times they will celebrate
they say that I have been beaten
but I have no idea until one of them starts speaking
what they deem a victory doesn’t feel like a defeat
so I don’t even argue I just let them have their treat
they are not my competition but I’m the one they seek
they think if they pull me down they will not be so weak
blind to the fact whatever happens they’ll be the same freak
backwards people think this way they don’t stand from their seat
hoping that somebody will fall down on the concrete
so I’ll be the prize that they size up
I’m an Olympic medal
but I’ve heard of times they’ve mess up
the chain’s off as they pedal
making me the champion
and them Olympic Special
MUTUAL
Wow ! Vow to bow
with determined devotion
on commitment.
Oath meant for both
in dedication ! Action
to implement.
Promise by guys
runs through interaction
for fulfillment.

Little Blue rode up to Mother Floral riding an iridescent hummingbird
You know how to arrive in style, Mother Floral said, loving her immediately.
Feelings of instant admiration were mutual.
you need me
as much as
i need you

How long will you stare
at my Blurry reflection.
Will we plunge into the enchantment
Of the distorted .
Frightening tenderness so nicely
Cuts the sternum.
As well sounds in the depths of blood - stained feelings ,
An affectionate command .
Oh, and it wouldn't disappear forever overnight ,
If we knew the boundless mutual worship.
There is always poetry
when my poetry
with yours
liquefy and
comes true
in our mutual delirium... !
