Who do You Think You Are?
Who do you think you are?
I mean really..
Husband, who do you think you are?
I ask you this so many times
when
you blow your fuse and minimize mine
when-
you make me feel so small under the weight of your ego
I drown.
My lungs eat fluid and I gasp for air as my heart shatters due to you
because you hurt me again and it doesn't even matter, to you.
Who the fuck
do you think you are?
You are the sweet romantic pubescent adolescent
with whom I grew up with
sharing many life moments
You are the man who turns dark...
I mean really..

“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times,
always with the same person.”— Mignon McLaughlin

let freedom be your bond, that time may prove you

conjugal hearts
no wind of change

Wedding Day
Standing at the altar watching you approach slow
Admiring the sultry appearance of melanin's glow
A memorable show of elegance & exquisiteness
You're looking like royalty in your wedding dress
The seamstress made it exclusively for you Queen
Its magnificence is something no one has ever seen
You've walked right out of my dream into reality
Something that was a fantasy has now come to be
As you make it to me, we gently go arm in arm
Once we reach the pastor, we stand palm in palm
He asks if I'll have you and I gleefully...

The Way Things Were
Please tell me how you feel about me.
If you think I'm beautiful, make me see.
If you think I'm smart just tell me.
If you think I'm funny laugh with me.
If you find yourself staring, just let me catch you.
Convince me that's something you'll always do.
I'd like to think we're lasting forever.
I would like to think our end is never.
Let me be convinced that it's all going to be okay.
Swoon me with the words you are afraid to say.
Make all of my fairy tales come true.
No matter what they all include you.

Say Yes
Say yes and make our dreams into a reality
Our journey is full of so many possibilities
No liabilities can stand in the way of our progress
I'll make your answer easier as I start with a kiss
Dismiss any fears that you may have about me
Anything that you've heard is ancient history
You and me have something significantly special
I don't want anyone else other than you beautiful
There's a physical & spiritual connection with us
All that I'm asking for is a mustard seed of trust
Just enough that you'll decide to give us a...

Marry Me
Life can be short, so why waste anymore time
Already know that I want you forever as mines
What I'm trying to convey to you today baby
On bended knee, I'm asking will you marry me
I want us to be together forever plus a day
Wherever you are is where I desire to parlay
We will portray the epitome of what love is
And when the time is right we'll have some kids
I've bid my heart in the pot & I'm going all in
Ready to spend eternity with my best friend
Let's begin a love affair of epic proportions
After reciting vows...

Bewitched: Blind Date
“Darrin, I want you to invite the prop man from the show over for dinner. But don’t worry I’m not going to make love to him upstairs while you’re sleeping off the bourbon on the couch.”
“Sam, why would that even cross your mind?”
“My mind slips into the gutter with the ease of a soap opera wife. I have a lady friend who you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting yet. She is a lonely girl in need of companionship. So they may hit it off.”

how this view...
soothes and breaks our hearts
smoke-breath from wooded hillside
softens the world
as the sky stoops to embrace
and on the surface of the lake
green froth lays a living blanket
beneath it life still swarms
in sweet and clear spring waters
one heavy rain will sink the algae
sun's light will pierce the depths
the moon will ride a watery sky
fry will school and larger mouths will harvest
trees waltz there on the sloping lawn
clover beads their dancing shoes
birds red and blue mark fairy'd time
wood-bees,...

Samantha says, “You know I was looking through your family photo albums. I must say you have a photogenic family. Though I noticed the men on your father’s side turn grey at fifty.”
“Well, they didn’t get fed nutritious vegan meals by a wife who reads the latest health magazines to keep her husband hale and hearty. Why I expect I’ll have some touches of grey at fifty but certainly not a head full of grey.”
“Darrin, have you ever given a gaze at my Mom’s side of the family. My aunt...

“Sam, the producer feels having you on the show as my wife is making the other women on the set self-conscious. Any expression of affection from them they feel is suspect. Now I know this is malarkey. But I have to please the management. Otherwise, it is back to a forty-hour week and late nights away from home. And I want to spend my evenings with you instead of in a stuffy ad office.”
“Well, I never! If I’m making your costars uncomfortable then you are right I don’t belong there. In fact, maybe I just don’t belong in the same bed as you....

Footsteps
( For David in memory of Lisa )
“Dying is a wild night and a new road.”
—Emily Dickinson
You are not alone
gestating in that cocoon—
fat from summer leaves of grief
I have not forgotten
her footsteps either—
mortar to a family of bricks
solidly weathered into their own
structure of wedded life
Our 41 year-old friendship
in an ultra-conservative city
excommunicating free thinkers...

Long Love
On a rare occasion
attending a noisy crowded party
I lose sight of you
and my body instantly reacts, viscerally,
gut twisting into a gripped panic …
and then I see you across the room
chatting away -
suddenly you glance in my direction
and I wave back, as if to a friend.
Momentarily you look at me quizzically,
then smile.
