marriage

Instead of as a measure
For a life you'll spend together
You should already have wed
By the time vows are said

The veil  is merely fabric
The reception...a tactic
The ring is but a metaphor
To unite under common law

Immaterial of today
And what anyone here could say
It's your love that's the truth
Over ceremony, tradition or couth.

drinker's remorse

Rammed my head

Into a wall

unintentionally

(I was drunk).

So never more

Will I drink myself

To a painful point

Of stupor.

alterappetite

Do live alternatively

If you feel like

There is no alternative

To living any other way.

If you've always known

That you don't have the palate

For the life they fed you.

Brew you own blend

Write your own recipe

Bake your own cake

And eat it crumb for crumb.

Silly

So sweet

So sexy

So sublime

Is the swan

That it's 

Suddenly

So.... silly.

sometimes I feel pink

Bouganvillia when I'm exciting
Blush when I'm emotional
Dirty when I'm horny
Grapefruit when I'm creative
Rose when I'm earnest
Fuchsia when I'm unabashed

unrelenting

To be me

I don't know how to tell you what it's like

its charmed when it's not damned.

21/35/43

All the pressures of the world
And all the things you need to prove
Expectations being hurled
facing them you stand unmoved

Little money being made
So much money that you need
Playing cards are being laid
All the time you're taking heed

Crow's feet are making prints
Grey hair is growing
Back aches are giving hints...
Getting older's knowing.
