Bride To Be
Oh sweet bride to be 
as the flowers bloom
you snuck to my room 
in hopes of a lustful spoon
Groom anxiously awaits
as your father opens the front gates
No one will comprehend our fate 
Face to face we engage
Stockings, undergarments and satin lace
on the floor they lay 
We embrace and grind away...

Adam, of scripture, dug our graves for it.
The advertiser’s magic guaranties it.
Fathers grind away their lives for it.
Religions point the way toward it.
The flail for it forms character.
The Poets labor to convey it.
Music seeks to express it.
Mothers simply feel it.
Love’s serenity and ageless value....

Dry Spell
I’ve been pumping the handle but it’s spitting out dust.
I grind away my eraser until the ferrule rips the empty page.
In the back of my mind, fragments pile up in a heap of worthless used parts.
Running my hand across every rough surface, every smooth groove, feeling every bump and every gorgeous imperfection; but my heart shrinks like leather in the sun, pulling taut my right hand, rendering it inarticulate. How does a doubter pray for rain?...
