look away
It had to end.
After months of staring into a
mysterious pit,
my irises, seeing through, looking past,
could no longer bear to reflect the sight
of a
rotting
suburban wife.

Vows for a Second Marriage
We gather today under the vast canopy of the universe to celebrate a new commitment between Jennifer and Herald. They stand before us as two of creation's happenstance.
As we share the joy of their union, let us acknowledge the rich experiences that have shaped them. They bring with them memories of their childhood, education, and environment. Let us be honest and acknowledge that they also bring memories of lovers, treasured without regret, as they now embark on a journey to forge a new and deeper love together. Let us encourage them to be enthralled by each other’s beauty, to...

Warrior & Princess
The dragon's haze
In reptile scales
Depicts gravity
Spinning my eyes
With sensual whirlwind
Taking my breath away
In fleshly wonder
To experience the fire
Of darkened fallout
Graven pits
Lest confession
Consequent disposition
A captivating commitment
Instant tempest perpetuity
That certainly dissapates
Along with time
The cravings of desire
To smoke and ashes
Rising in the air
Infinitely miniscule
Mystical and mythical
My golden quest
Purifying in...

If an ex is hit
by a truck, is that road-kill?

old couple in a restaurant
she tucked her legs under the table
and said what do you fancy
you of course he said but never mind that now
I’m just so bloody hungry
and said what do you fancy
you of course he said but never mind that now
I’m just so bloody hungry

Connubiality
The male of the species stinks of pride
and that is just no way to go through life
when humility may just fetch a wife
whose thoracic glory can't be denied...
but of greater value is her rare mind
and a psyche with much to recommend
through the evolution of friend on friend
in the logistics of the marriage grind.
And just how might we place a value on that
when folks are so hung up on the dollar
as the major misery forestaller
in a man's search for where to hang his hat?
Fret no more about a lottery win
when a happy...

Another World Away
As April's fingers curled around the stem of her wine glass, a delicate dance of trepidation raced in her mind. The rich red liquid swirled, catching the light, and with each gentle sip, she felt the warmth of the wine spread through her, like a secret being whispered from her lips down to her core.
April was short, no more than 5-feet with dark shoulder-length hair parted to one side. She wore black-rimmed glasses that seemed a size too large for her face. Her face was clear and pale with hardly any makeup. She wore a full-sleeved knee-length dress that made her look like a...

Marriage of Elders
Here before us stand two souls, their hair glistening like threads of moonlight, each strand a testament to the knowledge and serenity earned through the years. Their voices, rich with the timbre of experience, echo the depths of life's embrace—joys and struggles of life formed into beautiful people still able to dance.
With love's fire yet untamed, as they join hands, we are reminded that the fire of love knows no age—it dances in the hearts of the young and the old with equal fervor. Their wisdom, a beacon of light, guides them in their journey together.
Tonight,...

FOREPLAY IS AROUSING
Foreplay is arousing -
of heat not for dousing -
in the act of spousing
in marital housing.
