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.

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.

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.
