Happily Ever After

How hard is happy?

Meeting multiple matches

Left longing for love.

Seeking simple sentences,

Illustrating inquisitive invites.

Which wisdom will worry:

The opaque outcome ongoing

Or desire to determine desire?

Taming the torrential tides

Regulating response to rumination

Allowing aspirations all arenas.

Puzzling potential partners,

Considering commitments and care,

Fear of forgotten foils finality.

Breathe beside your beau

Everyone experiences emptiness

Never for nothing; new names.

Qualities quietly qualified

Working within walls of want

Gathering gifts of generosity

Ultimately uniting universally

Knowing the kamikaze kiss

Attained after admitting to always.

I Do Love Me Some Alliteration

In those moments When

I have an almost iresistible urge,

I am arrested by the appetite

To arrange the alphabet with alliteration

Creating a clever and catchy cast

Of wonderfully whimsical words

With which to wax wistfully

The intent is invisible to 

The people who patiently partake

The random ramblings of rudimentary

Association.

WIth a knowing glance,

The spell is broken

Until the next

Melancholy melody makes me mad

Compulsively careening into a cacophony

Of overwhelming oratory.
