there was
much to
talk about.
Not a word was
spoken!
Eyes looked at
each other and a
million loving
words were
exchanged....

Cool breezy chapel,
Summer wedding— pastor’s voice
Climbs into the bride’s 

Ears, the groom whispers to God;
A baby cries— rings exchanged....

This is the worst day
Christmas was just plain awful
No one the stop by
No presents exchanged
There was no celebration
No joy in the house

REDAMANCY

Love is requited
When received, it has a price
It is loving in return


A deeper feeling
When passion’s spent, love remains
And exchanged with each other

Vows were exchanged

Many promises made

Two hearts crushed as feelings vanished

Breakdown

a common word exchanged
between friends who are lovers
excitedly rearranged

Just stick around
so easily spoken
among the closest of people
but tragically broken...

Grief

                   on earth

               is exchanged 
 
                for heavenly

                       joy!

Flames sifts and seizes all, mankind’s desires burns through all 
All is exchanged for fire, for fire is the highest priced gold 
With a pearl within the flickering flames, still and wailing...

Vows made in trueness of love
Are exchanged by the two hearts
Neath the heaven’s eyes above.

Rings wrapped around their fingers 
Express that they’re off-limits;
Letting all be reminded....

Drunk pilot exchanged all the maps for his bail.
The lions and tigers will be more than just happy.
The plane has successfully touched Serengeti ;-D...

Just open your eyes,the sky in width.Objective set to frolic in the field.Youth is felt as
daffodils brush your toes.Chest caressed long straws of wheat.Exchanged laughter-birds
chirp a tasteful song....

Poor Fred just wanted to be a farmer
  But so cute, he morphed into a charmer
    All the girls saw him and sighed
    Barn-door-sized tears did Fred cry
  Exchanged mud-caked boots for 'Under Armour'...

With this warm key, hearts open
Prospects widen
To sky's felt "life's a breeze!"
Without constraints.

Of such, who now rejoices
Song-freed voices
Have been, for these exchanged
Sighing complaints....

Rejoice

my brothers and my sisters

cause

the grief that fills our hearts today

for

manifold joys would be exchanged in heaven

tomorrow!

unrepentantly
love
stopped by
today
to say hello---
again---
with baited caution
she was let in
and
we locked on to each other
without shame
exchanged pleasantries
and agreed 
to give it another try---...

written or spoken
ideas exchanged
social media
a lively banter
communication

a face time call
pick up the phone
hello on street
crazy Zoom call

the laughing 
the crying
the loving

texting
talking

speech...
