MARRIAGE PROPOSAL
no altar
i won't
put
you on the pedestal
for i am
no worshipper
walk along
we will
and we will
walk along
time
is the ultimate wealth
and forever
thankful
i will be
as we sat
sipping coffee
taking in
the scenery
the thoughts
ran wild
yet
our feet
were touching the ground
excitement
is the flashiest
ingredient
in the recipe
called love
yet
pain
longing
are the most overpowering
i won't put you
on the pedestal
neither
would i expect
you
to do that
with me
walk along
with me
and we will
walk along
put
you on the pedestal
for i am
no worshipper
walk along
we will
and we will
walk along
time
is the ultimate wealth
and forever
thankful
i will be
as we sat
sipping coffee
taking in
the scenery
the thoughts
ran wild
yet
our feet
were touching the ground
excitement
is the flashiest
ingredient
in the recipe
called love
yet
pain
longing
are the most overpowering
i won't put you
on the pedestal
neither
would i expect
you
to do that
with me
walk along
with me
and we will
walk along

To all those that Dare (Marriage) -See note
Trome, I offer you my hand and heart
In other words, I give up and you do too
Finally, we nevertheless dared to anyway
To enter into a marriage union
We will arrange everything right away
I'm very exciting and very pretty
Not sure you can handle me yet
But now you are in my Captivity
And to what has been proposed, add
UNUSUAL PLACES and NEW POSITIONS
Look at My Diagnosis, you will see
Crazy, stubborn, insatiable, strange
Peculiar, deviant, depraved, sarcastic
Don't pretend you didn't know before
I look VERY STUNNING in this dress
You get access to my Femininity,
But I get to own Your... Masculine
You picked a photographer
But I like Black and white photography
And at the reception we will dance
Let's Tango! Trome
At the wedding A 'simple' kiss twice
To s(t)eal the deal, In the vows
I promise to be Obedient to you
With BOOTY LIKE A DRUG
We decided to cater Sex at Waffle House
You said it was cheaper at Midnight Girl
Honeymoon is in the WILDERNESS
And you said I have to PARK MY BIKE
I told you that I am the Ocean
So you will surely drown
In the Heavy drops of words
Mutation of hearts happens slowly
A Soul requires cutting
So we spent lots of time trying
And I told you to get My Tampon
You are Jealous of my power
A Cup of coffee does not save
You need to kill Weeds in the yard
You tell me to go cook dinner
and I say Listen to my silence
After many years have passed
We went to counseling, and you
said we made REAL PROGRESS
I said Listen to my silence (with Reading)
After the divorce was finalized
Many Thoughts in an abandoned house
It felt like Another reality long ago
But It was not a dream, a nightmare
Just a poetry whore in Dark Alleys now
Don't measure me by my thoughts :)

Just in case anyone does not want to go and read the actual post this is composed of 32 titles for various poems written by myself and Trome. The author's note contains more information on that but I thought I would mention it here just in case. :)
Problems and promises
Run
Keep me from your cotton skies,
fill my mouth with autumn,
hide silent in the forest
the twig is about to break
Wait
Let the oars float away,
stay still within your seat,
tremble fingers on deep water,
anger slips beneath our lake.
I'm sorry
Bind my hands too tight,
make my fists unfold.
Foundation on a bruise,
sunglasses for your lies.
I'm so sorry
Paper mache us our masks,
stretched thin on blue balloons,
we'll dress in Sunday best,
and forgive me my abuse.
Help me
Find the bars and fix them to my cage,
rage in every open bottle.
I am and I will always be so
let my feet find broken glass,
on every step I fail to take,
drench my shirt in stale pain,
but let my hollows fill again.
I promise
This time, I will change.
Come here.

Marriage
I went through one
but never knew what it was
was it a friendship
or a silent partnership
was it an internship
into another kind of life
I wore the ring
he lost it every time
he went out for drinks
he painted the town red
while I read in bed
or fell asleep on the couch
Was I married
was that a marriage
if it was, it died early
killed by indifference
strangled by silence
buried by signatures on a paper.

Back In Ninety Three
Staring at this photograph of you, back In ninety three
A single rose held in your hand, I was so scared on this day
A reminder of how beautiful you really are, how lucky a man can be
After all these years, I still cherish this day
You made me the man that I am and all I hope to be
Thank you for all the love and standing by me
So I’m down on one knee to say...
Happy Anniversary
They all said we would never make this far, It will never last
You had yours and I had mine, together we made them ours
Not enough time for you and me, but I wouldn’t change the past
After all these years I still cherish this day
You made me the man that I am and all I hope to be
Thank you for all the love and standing by me
So I’m down on one knee to say...
Happy Anniversary
Happy Anniversary
(Instrumental)
The bad times are like scares, but they never define who we are
You'll always be my forever to have, my forever to hold
They say it only takes a moment to fall in love, but a life time to get this far
After all these these years I still cherish this day
You made me the man that I’m and all I hope to be
Thank you for all the love and standing by me
So I’m down on one knee to say...

He Owns the Sun
Her sweetness is the purest kind
Organic, filled with tranquil thought
With beauty far within her mind
Could not be sold, nor love be bought
In calm and confident array
She wins the winds from winter's way
She springs the summer sun to stay
And warms the heart; a better day
She brings to mind a subtle ingenuity;
A lovely gratuity
Who knows her? Who finds her?
A king holds his maid and begs;
Aye, begs! He is poor
As love beats upon his door
In her arms, he who owns all
Owns none
And he who owns none
In her arms, owns the sun
Organic, filled with tranquil thought
With beauty far within her mind
Could not be sold, nor love be bought
In calm and confident array
She wins the winds from winter's way
She springs the summer sun to stay
And warms the heart; a better day
She brings to mind a subtle ingenuity;
A lovely gratuity
Who knows her? Who finds her?
A king holds his maid and begs;
Aye, begs! He is poor
As love beats upon his door
In her arms, he who owns all
Owns none
And he who owns none
In her arms, owns the sun

A Deal With The Universe
I suppose I never proposed all those years ago
But we have stayed together for so long
I’m not traditional but it’s kind of mystical
That your love and passion made me strong
How many troubles have we been through?
Conversations that lasted late into the night
All the tears we shed with fear and dread
But we tried everyday just to get it right
And we reassured ourselves the love we feel
Is something beyond we could not contain
You became my muse because you sparked
Something inside me that I still can’t explain
We made a home and filled it up with love
With babies and memories and adventures
Through good times and bad we’re still here
I’ll still be loving you when we have dentures
And no matter how close you came to death
I fought the fates to put that path in reverse
I’m not letting you go so you better believe
Because I made a deal with the universe

They are wonderful and heartfelt, and it is impossible to read these poems without any emotion. The theme of love in poetry is the most understandable and interesting to read. I am generally quite a subtle nature, and for me, the true virgin feelings are significant, not spoiled by the frenzied rhythm of the modern world. My wedding will soon take place with the most beautiful girl in the whole world, and I am apprehensive. We have almost everything ready, a delightful wedding venue (look at this nature https://www.elopetogatlinburg.com/outdoor-weddings/cades-cove-weddings), decorations, and a dress. The only problem is that I haven't written the vow yet, I need something perfect, so I'm thinking of taking one of the poems.
