Stapled
So now take hold my unfolded hand
We can slow dance together through a life span
It's forward marching and straight ahead
We will cherish every little nothing said
We can build a nest and share a space
and learn from each other to live with grace
Wrapped 'round rightly whatever is real
Every single moment we can find to steal
Stapled together - so side by side
So tuned to each other there's nothing to hide
Tucked in our envelope - here or there
Where haply together - maybe two may share

Pink Red You
One persistently pesky pink-red rose,
continues radiant at autumn's close.
Her siblings have retired, all long past red;
just one pink-red rose, one proudly raised head,
One persnickity part-Labrador pup,
starry-eyed tumble of overflowed cup.
Begs to run free, discover better ways,
oh, please don't make me wear the leash today!
One mystical Motown sense of rhythm,
and one pink-red rose in motion with them.
Its fragrance lingers and clings forever,
through one slow-float sequence dreamed together.
One perfectly balanced book of ledger;
mixed ingredients in perfect measure
Secure as a tightly laced running shoe,
oh so irreplaceable, pink red You.

Mon Aime
Happy Birthday to you, 'mon amie'
It's easier written down than said to wife
Happy Birthday to you every day
And to myself for being part of your life
Happy Birthday to you, 'desiree'
Shimmering brighter than Eiffel's twinkled lights
As years float by like barques on the Seine
My fondest and wildest dreams ring true this night
Happy Birthday to you, 'mon cheri'
My heart high-kicks in its cancan cabaret
Arms entwined we waltz the Champs-Elysess
Lifetimes come full circle in a single day
Happy Birthday from this 'Pope of Fools'
Your Quasimodo rings bells he cannot hear
This 'half-made' thief hoards his purloined jewel
My charming Esmerelda, I hold so dear

Handfuls
Let me ponder now - Which words rhyme best with 'anniversary'?
Can't say that I truly know, but let's discover what might be
Handfuls upon handfuls come pouring, flooding into my mind
Considering our two lifelines have become so intertwined
Which ones play well together to indicate, 'I love my wife'?
Can enumerate the countless ways she brightens up my life?
There's such scarcity of paper and not near sufficient ink
To account my many blessings, should I then sit down to think
She is my life supporting system, my shining guiding light
My companion and my pillow soft when day turns into night
An anchor in my stormy seas and shelter in bad weather
Regis, she's my final answer, the 'what' to my 'whatever'
Solid, steadfast, steady she; so seldom in any hurry
Her trustworthy, loyal, faithfulness leaves no cause for worry
Never lofty neither low, she inhabits the in-between
Helpful, friendly, courteous she, so kind and so squeaky clean
