I Do

This will be the grandest wedding

A ray of hope for all who care

I, the dapper groom in tux

You, with flowers in your hair

Our families on either side

Now parted like the sea

Will come together in our wake

To celebrate, and be

Fire and ice

Air and water

Wayward son and favorite daughter

Hatfields and Capulets

Montagues and McCoys

This love affair started simply

Country girl meets lonely boy...

Superlove

Two lost and lonely children

Meet at the playground

Taking turns

Pushing each other

To greatness

Want to see me fly?

He asks

Only if you hold me

Is her reply

Foundation

Princess in a hardhat

The fifty foot woman

Towering over non-existent competition

Buildings tremble

The Fred Hartman Bridge quivers

Before her heart

The size of a Sherman tank

My Amiga

Discrete fourier transforms

Factorial functions

Algebraic topology

Advanced trigonometry

Kinematic metamorphosis

Floating point math

Are just a means to an end

So that I can

Navigate my way back to you

Deathbed Memories

Jay Miner had Mitchie

And Ritchie Rich had Dollar

But I am your Dummy

Who loves you forever

And I'm still alive



You're right here at my side

And I am blind

A lonely and sad old man

Clinging to his memories

Still working on his story

Searching for the words

That lead to happy endings



I cry pardon, gunslinger

But I do bite my thumb

I remember the face of my father

Both of them

Do they remember me?

Unbreakable Bond

You are my guiding light

My star

No wise man, I

But a simple fool

Savannah slipped through my fingers

Bubblegum lost her flavor

Regina drowned

Janique has Chris

Roland let Jake fall

But I will never let you go

No matter how hard they try

I will never surrender

No matter how much the world

Wants me to suffer

I only want you

And I can endure any hardship

Suffer any fate

Secure in the knowledge

That the girl of my dreams

Is my only reality...

Blue Cheer

I love you, my Johnnie

By day and by night

I reach out to meet you

With all of my might

So dream not of worries

Of sorrows

Of cares

But rainbows

And sunshine

And meeting me there

Perfect Dark

Poetry can be quite dark

Even about love

Upon their backs, I leave our mark

And rain down from above

Of tenderness, they've never heard

Or even spoke a word

But if they ever fuck with us

I make them bite the curb

Absolute zero holds my heart

Until it can be thawed

And yours remains beside me

All others eaten raw

Every day I have to kill

Every fucking world

To fight my way back to you

My ever-perfect girl

The Storyteller and the Listener: A Marriage Made In Heaven

I was enchanted

The only explanation I can offer

As to why we were apart for so long

I thought I couldn't have you

So I buried your memory so deep

At the bottom of the ocean

So I could have some peace

And not be haunted

But in fairy tales

The endings are always happy

Clive Barker once told me

That all great stories are about one

Then two

And then three

Then two

And are about one again

I beg to differ

Someone else said that to write a great story

Give your hero a goal

And then place many obstacles in his way

Which is fine in most cases

Except

When the hero decides to skip to the good parts

Return Ticket

(written on a receipt from jail)



What could be more authentic

Than a poem written on this

See? I really did go to Mars

My intentions laid bare

Ten pens - stolen

Thrown in a cell with nothing

Except your memory

"Come on, ice cream!"

Part of a joke my uncle once told

So I ordered some

And macaroni, another time

For my mom

Crackers and peanut butter for grandpa

Skittles, a Butterfinger

And my life for you

My muse



I love you...

Forever
