These are a couple of samples of my wedding poems. The first was written for friends, the second is a generic poem from my book "Words Can't Explain". Enjoy!!
Man and Wife
(for Howard and Winnie)
I have never felt this way before
We are more than in love
We are love
Everything about this is everything I’ve ever dreamed
I mean
Everything I’ve ever dreamed is this
The tenderness of your kiss
Is like that of the wings of a butterfly
Soft like the clearest blue sky
And I am just a mere dove within your vastness
I’ve never had this feeling for another soul
So can I hold you until eternity meets infinity
Or would that be asking too much
Your touch on my skin sends chills from my brow to my heels
Which is why I kneel before you
I adore you for all that you are
All that you were
And all that you will be
You see
These feelings I have for you I can’t hide
Nor do I want to
So I want you
To take my hand
As I take this stand
And make us
Man and Wife

I dream of…
I dream of…
cool summers breezes
and snow capped mountain tops
soft rainy nights on white sand beaches…
I dream…
I dream of…
Fresh fruit trees and clear blue skies
Long walks while holding hands
Heart felt conversations with closed lips
I dream…
I dream of…
Timeless days and nights too match
Star lit skies accompanied by a full moon
Inhaling deep breaths of fresh air
I dream…
I dream of…
Happily ever afters and matching rocking chairs
Our children and following grand children
And all that preceded
I dream…
I dream of…
Then and now Now and then
Endless beginnings with predictable futures
I dream of dreaming dreams of dreaming
So when and I awake
I dream…
I dream of…
Eternal love and fate
Wedding dates with my future mate
In a quiet place standing face to face
My strong embrace
Beautiful white lace
Lord I can’t wait
So I dream… and I dream… and I dream…
Of you
