Autumn, my breath of fresh AIR.
Autumn, she sings melodies of CARE.
See her as your beautiful BRIDGE,
And she will assist you over the RIDGE.
From the fighting forces of NATURE,
She shields and gives hope for your FUTURE.
See her as your seasonal ADJUSTER,
And she will see you through DISASTER.
Accept her as the officiating REFEREE,
From climatic extremes she'll set you FREE.
Autumn, my calm after torturing HEAT.
Autumn, my peace, poise; my season TREAT.
Couples make a big commitment,
when, at the altar, they say, “I do,”
vowing to love, hold, and cherish
and declaring, ‘Til death do us part.”
Not aware of what the future holds.
The unknown “for better or worse,”
slips way into the background,
though they will intersperse.
‘Tis good to plan and dream
about sharing all of life as one,
though the level of trust required
can be more than first thought.
Trust is very, very fragile,
like great grandma’s best China.
Just handle it carelessly, and
it lies in shambles on the floor!
Assume a great miracle happens,
and all is glued back together.
It’s never the same again.
Fractured lines are very apparent.
A precious thing, a marriage,
meant for mankind’s good,
but it can’t overcome all,
if handled by careless fools.
Oh, I could go on and on,
but then, I’d go on preaching.
Yet, it occurs to me just now,
in forty-five-plus years of officiating,
I’m aware of only one marriage…yes, one,
that overcame the curse of infidelity.
HE only will wrest against his equals
he refers to his bouts as educating
lesser knowledge individuals.
He referred to woman management as
being stringed along long enough
to find some means of
success.
"when the celebrities look to you
for inspiration
how bad off are things?"
He'll take both trophy and the crown!
his reference to obstacles, was
the right tool for the right job.
to each beginning.
to my new beginning and you sweet ending.
Musanger is the monster that
distracts
people from being inspired, Musanger is
also responsible for not
allowing officiating in less then one-sided
bouts.
22 in numerology confirms the Sheric samples of nexting
relating to "than what is next shall be"
calming the shore makes a perfect day
but does it help with the drought
then he asked
are the nights divided for day
or are the nights divided for nights.
One spoke the days are of the sun
and the nights are of lights.
I remembered sex and it resurrected Marvin Gaye
And I thought this a little fair a little unfair
But this let us leave for my red question for you,
Quite solid and rather out of the blue:
About the completely overmastered by love,
Soon breathless at some bridal shop for the innocent Dove
And it just as soon yielded An Officiating Priest
And its breathless screaming feast;
For six blissful hours never ceased…
Now, should The Joined that day start exchanging fire
And all night try to never tire,
Making grinding emotions of the raw
A Gulf-War-Recreating War…
Love I should your honest spiritual feeling
If ur be a bit spiced with Gaye’s Sexual Healing.
Shadow shakes the world
Half globe reflects the word
A human being becomes tired
Down of his kneels lives the motion
Officiating by his related soul of his occasion
Well living without occupation.
The wedding ring is missing
one can see only empty ring finger
Though wedding gown, shoes still on,
no one knows where the ring went
The oath solemnly taken at holy altar,
wedding kisses made in public view,
and the hope that followed the event,
have vanished without trace and truth.
In place of ring there is a dry weed.
In place of wedding kiss there is fury.
In place of solemn oath there is curse.
In place of wedding joy there are tears
The officiating clergy looks on in fear.
Bride now divorced, sing funeral songs.
Her children, relatives, friends in agony,
vow never to be fooled and dumped
Africa where grooms fix wedding rings,
make holy oaths, kiss for convenience,
then abandon brides to their cruel fates,
make weddings into play games of lies.
If the land of wedding jokes glorifies lies,
then how can the wedding ring matter?
In wedding ceremony
Bride told officiating priest
In the confession box;
“Wed me and my man,
Sooner than later; wait not
I confess this man I love not
He is not handsome enough
Age mate surely he not
I do not know him much
But there is one good thing
That I cannot miss of him;
A beautiful fat bag he owns
When it becomes ugly, thin
I’ll apply for rapid divorce
Other matters I’ll handle.”
Keep Calm
Keep Calm
centreI gulp I gasp I choke I chant
Only to be saved by a swallow
I hypnotize I hypocrisies I dream I deny
Only when officiating the mourning of mornings
my body balances : my mind meanders..
I exercise my anxiety I clothe I meditate my mind
The performance presents the participation of a pause
I show case stage fright I sequester I summon the night
The time the tyranny the tick tock tick the torment
My mind misplaced : My body embraced
I whisper I procrastinate
I sleep I sleepwalk
I sleep
I slumber>
