"wedding" poems
If I wasn't gay would people care? Would they actually let me breath the same air? Could I actually go to school, without people being so cruel? Could I live in a world with no hate? Maybe people would love me if I was straight. It's not as easy as people think. I can't just go to a shrink. I didn't choose to be this way. You really think I'd want to be gay? I don't want attention, I don't want fame. This isn't some sort of game. I am who I am and thats okay. Most people don't see it that way. I only wish I could be the same. To have a wedding and it not be shamed. I want to have kids and not be judged. I don't want my reputation smudged. But apparently I'm different now. Sick in the head somehow. Therapy and shock treatment for something that can't be fixed. How did I get put into this mix? Toxic and tragic, that's my life. It's like I was stabbed in the back with a knife. I'm gay, what's wrong with that? I get treated like some rat. Using your holy books and your religion. To fight against something that makes no difference. I want to be a human not a punching bag. Always getting called a *** Let that word have power and it gets to you. But that words as good as whatever is stuck to the bottom of my shoe. I love being this way. I don't care what you say.

To you, my one and only unknown love, I bestow unto you my heart and burning desires. I've dreamed of our wedding day, and much more to come. But still with a blank slate, for you, my one and only unknown love.

Unknown Love
the planets. the peaches. pruned. picked. for the reaches. the centuries. a second to the eternities. you can have it. say laugh when. you hear the jazz note. the voice of all that i spoke. the saxophone. like dialing digits of truth. on the telephone. come on. say one and two. up and down. the diversity in one single crown. upon the ears of sound. it's the heart's listening device. toss it like rice. at a wedding. human genes get paired up. and twisted. so simple. it comes in flavors of licorice. red and black. off and on. check the track. when the needle skips. we find all these differences. let me bring it back. for diversity. zeroes and ones. spread the spectrum. across high and low frequencies. it's so easy. let the record speak. can you stay on beat. the principles of the high. the sincerity of the meek. whatever lies between. is one or the other. blended across the centuries. and all mothers. give birth to the last. man to the first. follow that. discussion of high low. mid ranges get blown. saxophone pace the flow. get pricked by the tweeters. soul from the bass feeders. save the appetite. for the words that i write. and then speak. you you. not me. splitting hairs. atoms. quarks. and light. beams. like a smile. across a broad spectrum. either off. always on. high low. then get gone.

I need one more I need to forget a little more I need to remember a little less I need to remember a lot more I just need to remember it differently Better The way I wrote it The way it ends when I'm sleeping Dear bartender Make it a White Russian As white as her dress would've been One Pina Colada Tan as the sand would've been One more Gin and Tonic Sparkling as her eyes ***** Cranberry Red as her lips A triple shot of silver tequila As clear as my intentions Marry me Bartender I want to drink until I forget she said no Bartender I want to drink until I forget I ever asked Dear Bartender I want to drink until I remember she said yes ***** til my head rings wedding bells Gin til my body ticks raw rice *** til my cheeks flush honeymoon Tequila til my ring finger itches Whiskey until she loves me too Whiskey until she come back Whiskey

Dear Bartender
"Please, daddy!" You were walking so fast. Too fast for my little feet to keep up. Was it that easy for you to leave me? You heard my tear-filled screams, but you never stopped. You just kept going. Farther and farther away, not even trying to get one last look at me. I punched, pulled, and pushed trying to make you stop. You didn’t. You just kept going. Leaving me behind. "Please don’t leave me!" Pain. I remember it too well. The heart throbbing pain. We watched as you left. Me and mommy. My eyes were wet. Hers were dry, cold. As if she knew this would happen. I looked into mommy's eyes. Her brown eyes tangled with lies. Lying to me for you. How long do I have to wait for you before you realize that what you did was a mistake? What was the reason you stayed away for so long? Was it all the stupid crap you did in the past or is it because you don’t want me anymore? Since you left, I dreamed of your return. The day you would wrap me in your arms and whisper in my ear, "*I'm sorry for what I did. I promise I will never leave you again, my little Cookie Monster*." Then I wake up, hoping to see you. Praying that it wasn’t all a dream. But reality soon caught up, and the dream quickly died. I remember all the tears I had rushing down my face as I saw you leave me and mommy behind, to never return. I'm so incomplete without you, I need my daddy back in my life. You deceived me, you said you would always be there. You pinky promised. You broke your promise. How can I trust you again? Do you still think of me as your "cookie monster" or a daughter you never loved, a daughter you could leave behind without a single goodbye in the blink of an eye? I wish you were here to watch me grow up but we both know that will never happen. "*I miss you so much! Won’t you please come back to me, daddy? I just need to see your face one last time*." Am I that disappointing I need to work to make you love me? “Hey, daddy even if you don’t love me I will always love you no matter what happens.” I bet you didn't even think about how I would feel when you left. No, you only thought of yourself like you always do. You missed all my birthdays, first dates, father-daughter dances, and you may even miss my wedding, not that you even care. Did you know that I would wait for the postman to bring the mail and check to see if there was a letter for me? But there never was. I eventually stopped going, knowing nothing was there for me.   "*Well, daddy looks like you really didn't care about me buts it's in the past. Now I have a family who loves me, stays with me, and likes for who I am. I don't need you anymore*.” Daddy, I still need you. Please, come back.

I chose feminism because I believe in equality between genders. because I’m against gender roles, men who need a woman to get their **** done are not “cute” and are nothing but spoiled little brats. because my virginity, my body hair and how I dress up are none of your business. I chose feminism because I’m not a *** machine nor a baby producer I value much much more than that. because I don’t need a man to validate my self worth, I already know what I’m worth. because in some countries ***** women are forced to spend the rest of their life under the same roof as their assaulter. I chose feminism because a woman who speak up and raise her voice is a ***** . because in my city a woman was beaten by her husband the night of their wedding because she didn’t “bleed” in the *********** I chose to speak up because an 8 year old Yemeni girl died of internal injuries at the hands of 40 year old husband on their wedding night. because ****** is not a ***** word and my periods are not disgusting. because more women need to speak up and speak for their rights I chose feminism and everyone should do the same .

I have done it again. One year in every ten I manage it---- A sort of walking miracle, my skin Bright as a **** lampshade, My right foot A paperweight, My face a featureless, fine Jew linen. Peel off the napkin 0 my enemy. Do I terrify?---- The nose, the eye pits, the full set of teeth? The sour breath Will vanish in a day. Soon, soon the flesh The grave cave ate will be At home on me And I a smiling woman. I am only thirty. And like the cat I have nine times to die. This is Number Three. What a trash To annihilate each decade. What a million filaments. The peanut-crunching crowd Shoves in to see Them unwrap me hand and foot The big strip tease. Gentlemen, ladies These are my hands My knees. I may be skin and bone, Nevertheless, I am the same, identical woman. The first time it happened I was ten. It was an accident. The second time I meant To last it out and not come back at all. I rocked shut As a seashell. They had to call and call And pick the worms off me like sticky pearls. Dying Is an art, like everything else, I do it exceptionally well. I do it so it feels like hell. I do it so it feels real. I guess you could say I've a call. It's easy enough to do it in a cell. It's easy enough to do it and stay put. It's the theatrical Comeback in broad day To the same place, the same face, the same brute Amused shout: 'A miracle!' That knocks me out. There is a charge For the eyeing of my scars, there is a charge For the hearing of my heart---- It really goes. And there is a charge, a very large charge For a word or a touch Or a bit of blood Or a piece of my hair or my clothes. So, so, Herr Doktor. So, Herr Enemy. I am your opus, I am your valuable, The pure gold baby That melts to a shriek. I turn and burn. Do not think I underestimate your great concern. Ash, ash --- You poke and stir. Flesh, bone, there is nothing there---- A cake of soap, A wedding ring, A gold filling. Herr God, Herr Lucifer Beware Beware. Out of the ash I rise with my red hair And I eat men like air.

Silicate, emotionless sedimentary, Darling, it is cold, doesn't care wheter it breaks or if it is swept away in a stream, cut into small pieces by the sharp rush of flowing water, While it may hold no emotions, it can be the bringer of hope, bliss, happiness, sadness but also spite and envy, or a simple fulfilment, Look at the wedding-rings, their stones on top to embellish beauty such as the insurance to be with the other through thick and thin, Some diamonds are rough, but they are stronger than stones, if that is enough, harder and almost unbreakable, sorted in line moliculary, When the kiss of death puts us to rest, a tombstone is the sad, cruel remembrence of a former life, sprouting blossoming and blooming, before returning to the soil it once had found its origin, its beginning, I will try to be your wishing one, your shooting star, racing through the glory of the starlit nightsky to catch a moment of your passion, Burning up within the atmosphere of your warm embrace, dearest. Drawn by your gravitational impact on me, I will be your comet, returning to you each day without burning away as rapid as a meteor. Darling, alike a blazing Sun you make me melt. ~ Umi

There's oceans, a thousand crystal oceans above Venus and the moons, swimming in the constellations, an endless orange stream of stars and angels, falling like rain, dripping like a prayer, soaking our old home. So dance closely with me, for upon our red rooftop, let's enjoy the slow breeze,  while the moonlight unites the oceans in the sky, and covers the Brazilian seashore;    For it heals the soul of the green earth. All the old sycamore trees, the owls, the hawks, and snakes, all these things run for existence. So hold on, onto my words, Like your wedding ring, let me hold you close.   For in the quiet broken night, I can feel your heart beat, your emotions that run like water. Let me hear the river and rhythm of your desires,   and your ambitions that lie awake in you.   Let this, let this moment separate what you fear, as I listen to the drums of your heart.     here hold my hand, then let my voice unlock creation, Echoing and speaking the languages of your dreams and desires, for how I do love you.   Now see the moonlight's rule over the stars, speaking pictures of grace into the quiet night. In such a way the power of the moonlight stands like a king, thus I will listen, open and unlock the waves of your dreams.

Her lips like honey, The residue leaving me wanting more, Her eyes, so big, so bold, So beautifully brown, That smile that can shine Even on the darkest days, Her voice, so sweet, yet seductive, That shooting star, That 11:11 wish, She is my dream come true, On my wedding day, My gorgeous bride Will soon be mine, Sealed with a kiss, A commitment for life, I can’t wait for you To be my wife.

To my Fiance
He has taken rake and shovel in hand, Taking advantage of the light, Rare in these climes this time of year, Still welcomed, though rendered severe By the sun's reluctant trudge above the horizon, The type which, sauntering through a window pane (Falling upon a crucifix anchored above a cradle Or some ancient, gilded frame Containing a photo of some grandparent's wedding day, Exploding into full undifferentiated diffusion) May possess a dram of warmth, albeit resigned, nostalgic A bittersweet reminder of what has gone by (And in the shade, the air is filled With the portentous chill of what lies a few months hence) But there nonetheless as he tends to those final farewells From the trees bowing to December's inevitability, The droppings not the Pollock-esque bursts of October (Those having been collected and consigned To the normal corner of the back lot) But dreary brown-hued things, not welcomed by eye nor heart, Simply corralled perfunctorily and dismissed. One could contend that such activity is unnecessary, The mere vanity of all endeavor, As the snow will come soon, and steady as well, Performing the seasonal, cyclical function in its own time, But he soldiers on nonetheless, a unseen one-act nearly-farce, Painstakingly raking and bending and scraping To leave his patch of green uncovered for a little while Until the locking time comes to seal the earth's secrets once more, To be revealed to those Who shall receive the teasing ministrations Of the fickle, fitful March equinox.

ugly men burning their bay leaves in pots of static gardens underneath all this cement your past is looking at you indecently so change the words around you you can shift their meaning its all a game and no-one's winning your tired emotions accent your poetry umbrellas are scars that carry symphonies in their hearts you held my hand as we welcomed god back into our skylines her face is as familiar as the stars we originated from with ulcers open in quiet hurting your youth are wordless and distrustful of angst ridden authority in unsuspecting situations love’s vacation is ending her wedding gown got quite ***** since she literally spent her entire honeymoon wandering idly into banks of muddy water humanity is worthy of justice and sweaty romance i breathe your flesh into my bottle and we take boundless walks upon the clouds that straddle mountains, graveyards and cemeteries fresh from wading in the rice fields i peeled you a ripe banana under pressure your sweater came off and revealed a perfect metric for us to emulate your eye sockets are two umbilical chords and your voice is a curved sword that cuts through fear like the moon slices through the sky i have held all of this inside for far too long and now it comes shattering forth spilling itself over every page every letter an escapade almost as long as an Eskimo's pilgrimage to safety

I went to the love of my life's wedding today I listened to her say the words that i would never be able to say, he was the object of the love that i craved. she looked at him with the same affectionate eyes that i gazed, he was the one hearing: "for the rest of my days". i went to the love of my life's wedding today

I went to the love of my life's wedding today
~~<3~~ My love, do you still remember me? The vow  we made under this mango tree I was younger then while you were old enough But in my heart I knew you're my better half ~~ Your face that time, it's painted here inside After the wedding, we had that romantic ride We took that road riding on a pretty white horse You were holding me throughout the journey, of course ~~ But suddenly a storm came while we're on our way You've loosen your grip, we didn't make our day A strong wind got me while you were thrown afar We've been apart, heart-broken like victims of war ~~ My love, do you still remember me? Two years and more, we're here under this mango tree Now, I'm tracing the carved hearts with our names entwined Wishing that like them, you and I have that strongest bind ~~ My love, do you still remember me? Until now, your memories never set me free... ~~<3~~

Memories
Eat plenty of oatmeal. Sauna every season, Roll in the snow, Naked. Laugh, until you cry, Cry, until you laugh. Leave a love note, For no reason. Take long, lazy, walks, Behold Mother Earth. Hug tightly, Tease lightly, Kiss tenderly, yet mightily. Listen always, Heart open. Forgive quickly. Love lavishly. And… Every day, Every single day, Pray, Pray, Pray. ~ PE Kaplan

Finnish Wedding Blessing
Back when I was young my father told me: That I’d grow up, and I would be lonely, But not to go, chasing Cleopatra, Or else I’d die just another bachelor. He said; “Oh those pretty girls, there are so many, Just look around you and, you’ll find plenty; When you’re hurt and broken by a lover, Amen, don’t worry, just find another.” I said; “Daddy, what if none of them love me back? What if I’m alone, when the sky turns black? What If all I am, ain’t what I could be? It’s hard to find wisdom, but not misery” He said; “Son don’t stress, there’ll always be someone Looking just for you. You: their only one. And don’t ever worry about heartbreak, The road to love; it is made of mistakes. So, count your fingers and count your blessings, Invite Cleopatra to your wedding. Never love ‘til you don’t have to chase it, But when you do, don’t you ever waste it.”

Chasing Cleopatra
I placed a ring upon your hand, and you placed one on mine.. The meaning of our wedding ring we easily define: It means we now are one, in becoming man and wife. It means total commitment, forever in this life. It means togetherness in everything we do. It means our love will ever be pure, sincere and true,. It means as man and wife, we commit to do our part. This little band, upon our hand; Is a promise from each heart.

Wedding Rings
~ where clear blue sky meets water's deep his sunbeams reach her waves to tease, to warm her currents, foaming spray; dawn to dusk when daylight fades, till only afterglow remains, an interlude of celestial stage. he speaks to her on written sky and in the mournful sea-bird's cry, wraps sultry ribbons in her tresses, his fingers linger in caresses, and in soothing choreography he gently stirs her ocean's breeze. he sends her gifts of palm and dates, wrapped on waves in salty sprays; watches her with much delight, he sings to her each eventide, love songs with the calling gull, and rocks her tween the gusts and lulls. wedded at horizon’s edge, devotion to her he has pledged, to have forever and to hold, his comfort to her storm-tossed soul; his tender kiss on tear-stained cheek, where clear blue sky meets water's deep. ~ *post script. when one gazes into the vastness of sea and sky, of what is from height to depth an endless blue, one cannot but think of eternal devotion, of the relationship between two who have pledged their forever troth!* *as i wonder from what recesses this one came, i remember… our 36th wedding anniversary is fast approaching... i’ve been thinking of what to gift her that will make her cry anew.* **thank you to Hello Poetry for the tremendous honor bestowed with their designation of this poem as the daily and to all who have expressed their heartfelt love and appreciation... your message came through loud and clear... there can be no denying it, i am an incredibly blessed man because of each of you!   thank you, truly, from the bottom of my heart!**

~ where clear blue sky meets water's deep his sunbeams reach her waves to tease, to warm her currents, foaming spray; dawn to dusk when daylight fades, till only afterglow remains, an interlude of celestial stage. he speaks to her on written sky and in the mournful sea-bird's cry, wraps sultry ribbons in her tresses, his fingers linger in caresses, and in soothing choreography he gently stirs her ocean's breeze. he sends her gifts of palm and dates, wrapped on waves in salty sprays; watches her with much delight, he sings to her each eventide, love songs with the calling gull, and rocks her tween the gusts and lulls. wedded at horizon’s edge, devotion to her he has pledged, to have forever and to hold, his comfort to her storm-tossed soul; his tender kiss on tear-stained cheek, where clear blue sky meets water's deep. ~ *post script. when one gazes into the vastness of sea and sky, of what is from height to depth an endless blue, one cannot but think of eternal devotion, of the relationship between two who have pledged their forever troth!* *as i wonder from what recesses this one came, i remember… our 36th wedding anniversary is fast approaching... i’ve been thinking of what to gift her that will make her cry anew.* **thank you to Hello Poetry for the tremendous honor bestowed with their designation of this poem as the daily and to all who have expressed their heartfelt love and appreciation... your message came through loud and clear... there can be no denying it, i am an incredibly blessed man because of each of you!   thank you, truly, from the bottom of my heart!**

Goodnight
As the sins partied the night away the sun came rising in the country Tranquility. "Are you ready to spend all eternity together?" Loyalty asked Love as they stood on their balcony.  "My dear, dear, husband soon to be, you already know the answer to the question you ask" said Love.  As Loyalty and Love stand locked in a warming embrace being kissed by the rays of the sun the two share a kiss of their own.  Beep, beep, beep.  "Well this is a perfect time for my communicator to beep" said Love.  Breaking her embrace with Loyalty, Love answers her communicator.  "Hello Faith how are you?" asked Love.  "I'm fine Love and how are you?" answered Faith.  "I'm ready to start this new era in my life" said Love.  "I'm looking over your wedding file.  Are there any last minute changes you want to make?" said Faith.  "No Faith everything's perfect" said Love.  "I'm outside your house waiting on you Love.  Let's get going" said Faith.  "I'll be right down.  I have to go Loyalty" said Love.  Grabbing Love by her waist and pulling her close Loyalty whispers in her ear "Are you sure this is what you want?"  "I wanted you when I first saw you.  Now if you'll excuse me Faith is waiting for me" said Love.  When Love exited her house she found Faith hovering in her brand new transporter.  "Wow Faith this is beautiful" said Love.  "Thank you Love.  This is the new Neo 7000.  It was the last one left" said Faith.  Interrupted by her communicator Faith answers her call from Loyalty.  "Hello Loyalty what do you want?" said Faith.  "Why you have to ask like that Faith?" said Loyalty.  "Just make sure Knowledge have you at the chapel on time.  Now if you'll excuse me I have things to do"  said Faith.  "C'mon Faith we don't have time to play with Loyalty" said Love.  Rising higher in the air Faith and Love zoomed away.  As they flew through the sky Faith asked Love about her humanitarian organization S.O.U.L.  "How was your peace keeping mission in the country Limbo?" asked Faith.  "The citizens there had a lot of raw emotions from the war.  There is a big scar dividing the country" said Love.  "Your organization S.O.U.L. has a lot of strong positive influence.  How long has S.O.U.L. been active in the humanitarian field?" asked Faith.  "Five years" answered Love.  When Faith and Love landed at the chapel Wisdom was waiting for them.  "Love and Faith I've been waiting patiently for the two of you.  I've spoken with Loyalty on my communicator.  He and knowledge will be here shortly and then you can pledge yourselves to each other" said Wisdom.  Just as the three was speaking Grace walked out of the chapel.  "Hello Love and Faith it's about time the two of you showed up" said Grace.  "It's good to have a star for a friend who's gifted in all the arts" said Love.  Love threw her arms around Grace and gave her a big squeeze.  "Let's get you in your wedding dress.  If you'll follow behind me to your dressing room we can get started" said Grace.  As Love and Faith followed behind Grace, Knowledge and Loyalty landed at the chapel.

The Mistress
It’s not that big a surprise How much I adore Amsterdam Like immigrants long ago So welcomed here just as I am In the historic Lloyd Hotel To witness a wedding so swell I’m glad I’m here in Amsterdam Canals and bikes aplenty Whizzing past on every street The Keukenhof gardens amazed VanGogh’s Museum made me weep I’m glad I’m here in Amsterdam We walked for miles & took the train Our flight home I made not a peep It must have been that Space Cake We ate it and went right to sleep A fond farewell to Amsterdam
