You Can Get There From Here |

Dark grey granite like weeds protrude Quiet in their solitude Pale white faces lay within Gold-capped teeth can only grin Pant-legs flat which once were round Bone for lips can utter no sound Early we rise, later we fall Is the destiny of us all Cling to love as love allows Honor those who share your vows For then as time claims you and I We will have loved until we die Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me! |

Love it! from the grave to the aisle. Very creative indeed. There are those that would love this incorporated in their wedding vows. ~L |

Those last four lines a just wonderful, Mr Martini. There is no way they could have been said any better. Touched me where it matters. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Yes, looking at things as if they were already broken...this Buddhist concept is what I see in your poem..and I believe it is the only way to love some one, or things incredibly. enjoyed your poem. |
