Honeymoon's Over
stored the dress
worked extra hours
lost interest at home
Divorced
Copyright McCuen 2008
Divorced from my shadow,
estranged from the words
My heart to philander
—new innocence heard
(Dreamsleep: April, 2020)
A pony grows into a horse
Some marry to get divorced
A cute piglet grows into a sow
Some get married anyhow
Live divorced from the past,
engaged to the future
—but married to the present
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2019)
My child has no toys
They were all made in China
And broke in one day
My child is in therapy
All his life
And has been divorced twice
Form:
Jack went up the hill
With lady Daisy for a thrill
He was injured you see
She got skin in her teeth
Jack got divorced from Jill
named most likely to succeed in school
every birthday was a reminder
he had let himself down
newly divorced, no home, no job, no family
At three years old my parents divorced
Father got full custody
Mother, visitation rights
My sister and I were too young
yet still we understood
Form:
Divorced.
Yet always holding hands,
The mass of water swells with considerable size.
Turning, tumbling, seizing and swallowing,
All that it seas.
Married to the moment,
divorced from everything else
my vows repeated over and over
—this present forever to begin
(Dreamsleep: December, 2020)
The smallest possible infinity
divorced from first and last
A black hole caught inside itself
—time lost in future’s past
(Villanova University: June, 2023)
My plumber is here to sort my pipes.
Says he has divorced his wife.
He just showed me his hose.
Then proceeded to propose.
I admit I got the fright of my life.
Seduced
by what I hadn’t done
Engaged
to what I’d never wed
Married
with vows I wouldn’t take
Divorced
from what I couldn’t leave
(Dreamsleep: May, 2022)
An old couple in San Jose
get divorced every other day
In between they elope
with just toothpaste and soap
afraid what their parents might say
1/6/22
self confidence oozed out of her
she married and divorced two men before she was twenty-one
few women had that kind of confidence in the twenties
Marguerite is my grandmother
When you get married you'll talk about each other's strengths.
And when you get divorced your faults.
But when you get back together; your mistakes
Unless you don't; your vaults.
Against all odds a long-divorced couple...
are back in each other's arms.
Ah, second chance at love!

Affable people
are likeable fools
Divorced from the moment
their banter unspools
Affable people
in search of a creed
Amusing examples
— of folly indeed
(Dreamsleep: March, 2025)
Each flower within
A feeling being
Of no fair relevance to
May, with thorns, spring.
And not just this rose
To wed, you chose!
That bush you're friend divorced; did
More that suppose!
Sprinkle to storm
Morning to noon
Sunrise to sunset
Seed to bloom
Love to marriage
Divorced too soon
Spark to fire
Fire to ash
Youth to old
Birth to breath
Ashes to life
Life to death
A sunset born out of winter charity. Two hearts sweating at the thought of monotony. Was it a betrayal too close to home? Roses divorced of thorns in a sea built on the tears of a bride with no filter.
Distance
is different
spurning
direction
The miles
a marriage
time
has divorced
Spaces
concurrent
flowing
together
As coming
and going
fade in
— remorse
(Dreamsleep: April, 2024)
Writing
in margins
where words never go
The meaning
bipolar
whose ink doesn’t show
Living
inceptive
divorced from the light
Married
to emptiness
— unstringing my kite
(The New Room: July, 2025)
Inherited
severance
The saddest
probate
A wasteland
of love
A garden
of hate
A dark
segregation
Divorced
in our bane
To separately
covet
What little
— remains
(Dreamsleep: February, 2026)
Can you have a mind
and not have a soul
Connection temporal,
divorced from the whole
Can consciousness live
for only itself
A hand with three aces
—His card left undealt
(Rosemont Pennsylvania: April, 2021)
