Short Weds Poems

they beget lame ducks
that lay rotten eggs
ducklings they hatch not
to swim troubled seas...

Purity weds corruption,
  a marriage unrhymed 

An Angel having fallen
 —damnation defined

Oh how beautiful the flowers spiral

each touching with vivid colored hues

saying to my heart

a long awaited friend returns 

bright like the sun that weds the sky 

in soft crystal blue....

Black Noon
The restive wind 
weds the surging waves
merging spirits and souls
leching away meekness
spiced with weakness
as the way is paved 
for the destruction 
that rummages at noon

The water-pool was 
thickly covered with
roses;
a decoration for the
marriage.
The fishes in the pool
died after some time
due to suffocation.

Some days later the
roses rotted.

Long live the
newly-weds!...

IT'S TWO

one added to two
the sum of it becomes three
minus one is two

a couple a pair
one man weds a woman and
the two become one

one woman one man
with God in invested in this
the two become one

BEDDING IN READING

There was a young couple from Reading
Who went to purchase some bedding.
They tried out some beds
And, as newly weds …
You can guess where this Limerick’s heading

Bravery and fear
  not either or

But versions of…

Valor and shame
  brought heretofore

Mixed pieces of…

A riddle to confound
  the poet’s mum

As glory weds disdain…

Courage and fear
  not zero-sum

But oft times look the same

Nature is at its best unleashed 
 beneath the ever changing skies
 when animal and season weds
 it delivers the season's high; 
 As the leaves share their color raves 
 autumn shares her bountifulness 
 and the squirrel gathers quick her craves 
 before winter's, buffering harness.

folding chairs
folding clothes
climb the stairs
the garden hose
needs rewound

writing tablets
writing checks
feed the cat
the kids have yet
to come home

washing machine
washing dishes
fix my hair
send best wishes
to the newly-weds

cleaning rags
cleaning rugs
clean the house
making love
while planning

I
A happily married man is he
Who weds, not for love, but for policy.
His life will be clover
If his wife will sign over
Not the deed to her heart, but her property.

II
A woman who weds for the pleasure,
May live to repent at her leisure.
When she's no more excuses
For her husband's abuses,
A close bond with her lawyer she'll treasure....

SUMMER WEDS WINTER

icy angels fall
they coat white the earthly grounds
lovers rest up-close
thawing the cold-blooded air
summer heat weds winter chill

we have come to the cross-road 
  and i am lost to death
 with you i come
 i lingered endlessly  to pick the choice
 but the darkness of my douth 
    i flee
you lifted the lamp of my lost 
 you asked  if am fine
 yes i answer
i saw your face in the light
and i glittered like the ray of 
the sun
we sing in weds of laughter
and we are all blessed....

Heart weds mind when writing
Minichu, a wondrous form of poetic piece.
Ah, biting 

Lips, stroking brow, 
I nibble this savory cheese,
And Wow!  

I chime,
And, mind at ease,
Rhyme.  

Heart weds mind when writing;
I nibble this savory cheese —
Rhyme.

About April

Oh, April, thou art fickle;
We know why April Fools
Belongs to you.

Tornadic surprises, and yet
While our feet are getting wet;
Colors burst into natural umbrellas.

Oh, April, thou art fickle;
You stand in front of Winter man,
And dare his sneaky return plan.

We’ll take your interim joy between
‘Til May’s maturity of spring
Weds itself to summer.

A tree mast broken
Changes pond to pillow fast ...
The frog is asleep

The lilly pad swims
And toad applauds toad in songs
The moon will rise soon 
 
Water turns to dream
Light kisses the heart  of leaf -
Tadpole becomes groom

Lilly blooms sunlight
Frog calls mate and hug to leaf -
Day weds dawn and moon

A lilly leafed hope
The frog sang and perched in pond -
Silver falls the rain

I live for 
Peanut butter and cheese sandwiches.
Toasted in my toaster...usually when my world is in slumber
None to to judge me.
No butter...decadent enough .
I slather the caramel coloured concoction
On  warm bread...to the edges.
slapping on a slab of cheese
I watch as the heat melts and weds it to the bread.
Then I settle in to enjoy the moment.
It is then I realize...I live for the moment....

Romance is mistaken very often for
that thing we call love; it happens all the time.
Boy meets girl, boy weds girl, and they both adore
one another! Poets write of this in rhyme.
But can love continue in this way to soar?
It takes work! The path is not always sublime!
We grow with practice; love is actually
THIS: God’s plan so that we’ll know divinity.

She stands before the looking glass
her wedding day is here at last
a face of porcelain - milky white
a gown of ivory - satin light
stephanotis grace her hair
never such a lady fair
fragrant lilies of early May
will be the blooms in her bouquet
in one more hour she'll say her vow
before the altar she will bow
she'll turn and smile to the man she weds
and everyone will bow their heads
down the aisle as man and wife
out in the world to start their life...

Trees of Oak and Chestnut,
at opposing sides of my kitchen,
as I, a leaf, dwell in the centre.

A maiden, see, cut her wig
’till the carpet was adorned with curls,
and grasped within coldness, then
she ripened to step away.

For her, he held his breath,
with respect to the branches; watchful
inclined to lean their way.

His lips and the leaf’s did hug
as platinum was placed upon fingers,
and the kitchen decorated by time
was left to the newly weds....

Luke Laker locks lengthy lovely letters and lollypops in a
locker lying at lonesome lounge in learning field, linking
lake Lawson to the left of Larry`s law school.Lady Latoya a 
Latina licks Luke Laker`s lollypops , looks into and reads his lovely
letters with levity.Luke Laker loses his cool,lashes and lunges
for Latoya and their lips locked in... a long lasting kiss of life,
just like licking lollypops and lemonade.
Later Luke weds Latoya legitimately in a large littoral land zone....

The ego of the atheist,
himself the standard bearer
Where power of a mortal mind,
inflates beyond repair

His facts he weds intensely,
dimension fencing in
What’s not explained, he must profane,
all emptiness within

Whose formulas and strictures,
his Rosary to proclaim
What can’t be solved, new facts resolve,
dismissive in his shame

The ending predetermined,
his choices lock the door
Alone, his dialectic dies
—naked to implore

(The First Book Of Prayers: January, 2022)...
