A marriage made in heaven requires God to be the celebrant.
That line is just to get your interest.
Now
Can two words containing three letters seriously unwind millions of years of evolution?
No
Procreation not marriage is a biological imperative.If it weren't I might not be writing this,you might not be reading this.

The One
our time plays like a movie
when I first saw your face
and when we first kissed
the restaurant we went
on our first date
meeting the family
spending our first holiday
our first pet
we took care of them
in our first place
going to my job at the factory
not my first
but felt like my first big responsibility
got a little older, got married
had hardships
lost family, friends, pets
how I miss them
that time flew again
got even older
hobbies changed
we changed, the world changed
yet we...

The Divorce
When it happened, I was very angry and I was also stunned.
My wife filed for a divorce just because Donald Trump won.
My wife is smart, sophisticated and she's also very pretty.
But I learned that she's also superficial, shallow and petty.
My mother always told me to appreciate what I've got.
But if you're wondering if I still appreciate my wife, I sure as hell do not.
When she broke my heart, she didn't even feel remorse.
After seventeen years of marriage, she filed for a divorce.
I begged her not to leave but she packed her bags and walked out the...

My Love, my love
With thee, i've found my heart may stay,
Through fleeting dusk and break of day.
Thy heart, be near, belongs to me here,
And guides my own in every way.
Four years we've known, yet in the past,
Still hold us firm, though years be vast.
No, not one old hour, can time overpower,
For thou art mine from first to last.
When tempests rise, as God has willed,
Thy whisper, a balm, bids all be stilled.
Within your grace, I rest in this place,
And with thee, all my needs fulfilled.
Oh, Lauren dear, by fate entwined, ...
Through fleeting dusk and break of day.
Thy heart, be near, belongs to me here,
And guides my own in every way.
Four years we've known, yet in the past,
Still hold us firm, though years be vast.
No, not one old hour, can time overpower,
For thou art mine from first to last.
When tempests rise, as God has willed,
Thy whisper, a balm, bids all be stilled.
Within your grace, I rest in this place,
And with thee, all my needs fulfilled.
Oh, Lauren dear, by fate entwined, ...

If I was right
I work away all day so
That you can stay home
And live the life I wish I could
Those dollars they don't go far
Just to where we are
Girl, I could be a man
If you could understand
Oh you know better?
So I'm just a loser
And it's not enough for you
Think of all that I should do.
I work away all day so
That you can stay home
And live the life I wish I could
I fight to keep the lights on
So your eyes can shine on
Girl, I could be so strong
If you knew I wasn't...
That you can stay home
And live the life I wish I could
Those dollars they don't go far
Just to where we are
Girl, I could be a man
If you could understand
Oh you know better?
So I'm just a loser
And it's not enough for you
Think of all that I should do.
I work away all day so
That you can stay home
And live the life I wish I could
I fight to keep the lights on
So your eyes can shine on
Girl, I could be so strong
If you knew I wasn't...

Cavernous Echoes
Cavernous echoes
Inside the chamber
Where dust gathers
Course infinity
Ethereal breath amaze
Comfort succumbs
Filthy hands
Dare to handle
Touch a soul
Death inside
Suffocated prison
Paranoia hinted walls
At the prospect
Closing in
An escape alone
Devoid of purpose
Hidden in truth
Moments recall
Universal secrets
Into the abyss
Graven gaze
Eyes deeply
Fixated hypnosis
Mood transforms
Lust tempts
Deity life transpose
Nothing...

Hexed In Lexical Nexus
Hexed in lexical nexus,
stressed direction of sentence,
lest reflection neglected,
depth perception relentless.
Next is breathless connection,
pressing head spins of guesses,
rending penchant complexion,
yet discretion regrets it.
Best attention projected,
less than heaven presented,
let conception demented,
when expression extended.
Exponential eccentrics,
bet bedeviling death wish,
kept perpetual plexus,
net ephemeral senses.
Flesh and sexual testing,
meant incredible meshing, ...

Pueblo Wedding
Pueblo Wedding
Cruising the asphalt road to Cibola
Ancient Mission beckons
From the desert shore of a primordial sea
Now sear hills in a brown terrain of mountains
We follow the river of highway
Onto the parking lot
Of the church made from the mud of ages
Shaped by earthen hands of ancestors
Whose chants haunt the whispering wind
Upon parting the gates of the sanctuary
Low and behold a Wedding unfolding
We enter the sacred space
Where ancient art
of pueblo women gathering corn
is frescoed on...

Kids
Our ancient wooden coffee table has bite marks on every edge.I never saw the little buggers doing it, but they did.
The carpet, expensive all those years ago,is now worn and stained in many places.I never saw the little buggers doing it, but they did.
The walls and doors
have all got dings in them from someone.I never saw the little buggers doing it, but they did.
Now the home is empty and every piece of it tells a story.
I never saw the little buggers leave, but they did.

My Lioness Flickers Between Serengeti Moonbeams
My Lioness Flickers Between Serengeti Moonbeams
Our African vacation starts at a luxury hotel in Nairobi. But I pine for a photographic safari into the Serengeti. Over breakfast, I break some news for Jane. “Hey let’s try this on for size. Jane, I want to take you on a safari into Tanzania. Maybe we’ll have an adventure like in a J.G. Ballard novel.”
She says, “You’re so crazy, but truly we could face off with a pride of lions looking for supper. The signs ain’t good darling. The continental breakfast bar at this hotel is more than enough for me. We can go to the...

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.

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...
