Love poem
To the Moon
My love for you
Inspired by the way you leave space for others to shine
How you remain bravely humble, and still, so stunningly bright
* A selflessness like yours,
I have yet to find *
You are strong enough to command the oceans to meet your needs
Crashing amongst the shore
Otherwise defiant waves behave as you please
And in the event that you're eclipsed by Earth's shadow,
You find the spotlight
Lovingly sharing with me your precious, rose-tinted glow
To present such a freckled surface as proudly as you do
Vulnerability so unwavering
It would be a shame to be anything but myself with you
And during the nights when you're not around,
The world is dark and lonely
But l will wait for you to reclaim your place
* I am hoping you make it back, safe and sound *
In the meantime,
Here is my ode to you
A sort-of love letter to the moon
Inspired by the way you leave space for others to shine
How you remain bravely humble, and still, so stunningly bright
* A selflessness like yours,
I have yet to find *
You are strong enough to command the oceans to meet your needs
Crashing amongst the shore
Otherwise defiant waves behave as you please
And in the event that you're eclipsed by Earth's shadow,
You find the spotlight
Lovingly sharing with me your precious, rose-tinted glow
To present such a freckled surface as proudly as you do
Vulnerability so unwavering
It would be a shame to be anything but myself with you
And during the nights when you're not around,
The world is dark and lonely
But l will wait for you to reclaim your place
* I am hoping you make it back, safe and sound *
In the meantime,
Here is my ode to you
A sort-of love letter to the moon

Vacuum
"Happily for Romeo and Juliet, true love never becomes a daily chore."
-- the Reality of decades of the same old same old
*
Although a few may deem me somewhat mad,
While some may fancy me a tad bit bad,
Each instant when I gaze upon her wire,
My vacuum cleaner thrills me with desire!
Like models new, in beauty doth she whoosh!
Mine every button knowing how to push!
Her belt deluxe! Her brushes firm and sleek!
Her intake port which sucks with such technique!
O! How we love to angles deep explore!
On every carpet! Plus the hardwood floor!
My timeworn wife far wiser than her years!
Ne'er griping once nor bursting into tears!
Indeed, in fear the love affair might end --
She daily doth the warranty extend...
*
a dedication of Respect
for
the Pain of passion
whose warranty
sans fail
expires in a whoosh
a revolving helios rhyme menippean satire on
happily ever after
drudgeries
march, 2023 -- yet passion still not rekindled
despite the new addition to the family --
not to mention its huge loads of
dirty diapers
-- the Reality of decades of the same old same old

Of nectar and bee
Our connection
Like the enlacing of the veins of a leaf
Bringing nourishment
To the locus of my flower
Stimulating the core of my existence
Your gentle caress
Titillating
Like the tickle of the breeze
Wreathing it’s fervour around my spirit
Breathtakingly pure
Your affection
Like the vibrance of the sun
Painting pastel to the ivory of my skin
Radiant and evocative
Your sensibility
Like that of the ocean waves
Undulating
Undraping the silken sand
Exposed and vulnerable
A perfect surrender
Your charm
Perfumed and crimson
like that of a rose
The thorns that forfend
Savvy and imposing
A fierce guardian of body and spirit
Your fondness of me
Spilling like rain from a tempest
Saturating my skin in heaven’s pleasure
Sultry and torrid
Our love
The delicate dance
of
Nectar and bee
A unity of fairness
A patent wilderness
of
solidarity and bliss
Like the enlacing of the veins of a leaf
Bringing nourishment
To the locus of my flower
Stimulating the core of my existence
Your gentle caress
Titillating
Like the tickle of the breeze
Wreathing it’s fervour around my spirit
Breathtakingly pure

Spilling like rain from a tempest
Saturating my skin in heaven’s pleasure
Sultry and torrid

Nectar and bee
A unity of fairness
A patent wilderness
of
solidarity and bliss

Love Eternal
When my love thou turn to dust
For your soul I'll always lust
My heart to you forever entrust
Our love eternal never will rust
For your soul I'll always lust
My heart to you forever entrust
Our love eternal never will rust

A Thousand Times a Day
If I am one to say I love you,
as often as 1000 times a day,
then let me say these words,
and never turn me away.
If you're the one to never whisper,
all the romantic words and such,
then I will understand by your touch.
It takes all kinds of love to survive,
life’s many ups and downs.
For those facing reality,
and the ones like me whose feet never touch the ground.
as often as 1000 times a day,
then let me say these words,
and never turn me away.
If you're the one to never whisper,

It takes all kinds of love to survive,
life’s many ups and downs.
For those facing reality,
and the ones like me whose feet never touch the ground.
