anxious bride felt less than gorgeous today
first time he mentioned pre-nup
she saw a faithless groom

Spring has sprung
The lawns gone nuts
Mowing time again
No ifs or buts
A martyred sigh
Trudge to shed
Drag out mower
Filled with dread
Attempt to start
Psyche self up
Try many times
Any luck? .... Nup
Give up the fight
Drag back to shed
Watch the lawn
Grow long instead
Ignore complaints
From near and dear
Enjoy the daisies
Mow next year

The odd way you looked
At me when I booked
Our honeymoon flight
I expected tears
Joyous ecstasy.
Then, I first knew ...
Did not know you,
Slow on the make
My sad mistake!
Held my breath
“Until death
Doth us part.”
Pre-nup?
What’s up?
Broke!

Somewhere there's a Master Sergeant
who watched Iraqi oil being loaded
on a tanker While Bush denied
we went to war for decayed riches.
How's that for misguided love affairs
We stripped Iraq down to her bare essentials
Made her sign a pre-nup and dumped
her body in a trunk.
We sped away fast.
A honeymoon
undestined to last.
We say the past is the past
but I wonder why it lingers
like lingerie and Abu Ghraib photos.
The smell of garbage lying in alley gutters
sweat’s scent mixed with her
Frankincense
Sounds of gunfire, from a wedding
party maybe?
Her hijab slightly ripped
as she fought to retain her gift.
that oily residue left in my mouth
from absconded kisses
dearly departed bliss
Iraqi stains,
are all that remain

OK, the pencils are sharp, erasers are handy
And the paper is fresh for writing.
The chair is comfortable, my clothes are warm
And the room has plenty of lighting.
This poem is going to be huge and epic,
It will say everything that’s on my mind.
Every emotional truth, an epiphanous proclamation,
Every adjective will be underlined.
Now, think, what will I write about, what words will I use,
What sentence will I utilise at the start?
Will it sound like a story, a personal story or
Will I just write it straight from my heart?
Hmmmm… all these decisions are tricky, I need to relax,
Might make a quick cup of tea.
That’s better, my brain has calmed down,
My mind, it can wonder now it’s free.
Nup, still got nothing, maybe today I’m not meant to write,
Might turn off this small writing lamp.
Maybe I should just admit to myself,
I got hit with the dreaded writer’s cramp.

lead my hand o' dear life
lead my hand
on this land
o' dear life,
until the end
o' dear thought
of comfort
seed my life
feed me not in strife
bleed me joy from nine to five
lead me a journey of phases
a journey of ages
to face this
germinate in me a corn
of survival
a history of possibilities
a record of living to afford
a source to live
for this life
is a choreographer of life
a propeller of existence
an economy of spiritual commodities
a tear drop of opportunities
yet not so many does see its commonalities
an event of anomalies and regularities
lead me a way o' dear life
carry me a sledge on a journey of life
a terrain of survival and life
a gemstone for many
a pentagon of any
a model of penny
an artwork of joy
a string of life on a journey
a script of many
a stanza of any

i miss you
i walk into your heart without fear
i talk within your heart without tear
i hold unto your love; it say
told unto your arms, stay
come towards your eyes not in tear
i said as i whisper unto her ear
your heart beat i feel o' my dear
and the memory it brings so soothing my dear
but...
as i looked a little closer to you
to bring your touch closer to mine
and drift my thoughts in yours same time
i realized 'am so far from you
and all alone; i miss you

her name is love
i am so pregnant with love
when she's born, call her love
by the winds and treasures of love
i (will) wrap her in comfort of love
and grow her a culture of love
in tears and joy for love
to love and share love
cuddle with her in love
seduce to stand by her with love
stick besides her like love
with pure love
without denial by love
carry me as you dry me,
a tear of love
as i am caught between love
to tease me for love
and brand me a love
to call her love
....let me call her love

nerves crack a week before vows,
pre-nup dinners get mixed-up,
groom’s tuxedo needs revamp…
best man churns new speech!
from bride’s nth hairstyle redo
to choir revisions; why do
rehearsals take more days than …
the five-hour wedding?

--- BEFORE---
love birds coo coo coo
mouths holding honeymoon hands
sailing rapture glow
---NOW---
he morphed into a shabby computerholic couch potato
triple sour grudges, the twisted naggings piercing falceto
mr. droid in the attic snoring, his belly bloated like a preggy hag
while garbage stinks as rotting romance wilts on witches’ swag
no night dates, he tickles women online with bills climbing loco loco
--- AND THEN---
merrily soon-to-be-an ex, the droidcoholic shocked bones anew
without a pre-nup, his mother’s mansion's in my name--- woo hoo!

I vow to be ya husband to honor & cherish you as my wife
to give you all of my love, from daybreak till the end of the night
I promise to be there for you from beginning to end
loving you not only as ya husband but ya best friend
I vow to take ya hand in holy matrimony
and from this moment forth you won't ever feel lonely
I promise to treat you like a woman is suppose to be treated
you won't ever have to cry to ya friends and say I cheated
I vow to give you my all, pick you up when you're ready to fall
comfort you in times of need when ya back is against the wall
I promise to cherish our time together even though it's ticking
make love to you in the physical even threw these lyrical writtens
I vow to be more than ya husband more than the one you loving
no need for a pre-nup I'm not gonna divorce you all of a sudden
this is my vow and my promise please just say I do
because ever since we met I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life wit you
