Money Talks! 6/17/2005
During the wedding rehearsal, the groom approached the
pastor with an unusual offer:
<br>
"Look, I'll give you $100 if you'll change
the wedding vows. When you get to the part where I'm
supposed to promise to 'love, honor and obey'
and 'be faithful to her forever, ' I'd appreciate
it if you'd just leave that out."
<br>
He passed the minister a $100 bill and walked ...

Without You In My Life 6/16/2005
From daybreak to sunset, no clouds in the sky,
The minutes, hours and days would go by,
The nights would be so cold like a knife,
Lonely, without you in my life.
<br>
No rays of sunshine would shine through, no clouds in the
sky,
No one to walk with at my side, no one to say goodbye
Days would go by, weeks turn into months,
Then years, without you in my life, I would sigh. ...

Declaration of Non-Interest
<br>
It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want
to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting
your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know
if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream,
for the adventure of being alive.

Above ground 6/12/2005
There are some people who're all frost and ice,
and yet there are others who gulp at lifes' cup.
The first are the ones who're nasty (not nice),
the second, well they're the ones who sip every sup.
Once again, the first are all malice and spite,
but the second, they're the hearty, honest of good
cheer.
The frosty ones make misery with all their might,
the soul of lifes' party shines ...

where are we going? 6/11/2005
Where are we going through this life of ours?
Meandering like a babbling brook that twists and turns.
And yet has a purpose, has an aim,
unlike we two who in the time,
that is left too us just sit and stare.
I remember the poetry that was in my soul,
when I looked upon your face and saw the love that was there.
Now it has gone. Only an echo remains,
remains forever in my head.

If I could find another me 5/31/2005
If I could find another me,
just think how happy I would be.
I'm so cheerful, considerate and kind,
everyone else must surely be blind.
Such a one, full of vigour and vim,
body like a Greek God, so neat and trim.
Eyes that burn with a strong desire,
set anyones heart afire.
Cheeks so dimpled and rosy,
split down the middle with an aqualine nose(y).

The Magic Of Love 5/15/2005
Love is like magic
And it always will be.
For love still remains
Life's sweet mystery!!
Love works in ways
That are wondrous and strange
And there's nothing in life
That love cannot change!!
Love can transform
The most commonplace
Into beauty and splendor
And sweetness and grace.
Love is unselfish,
Understanding and kind,
For it sees with its heart

"US" 5/15/2005
You come and sit beside me
And you place your hand in mine
With that simple gesture
My mind goes back in time

The day we met, our first kiss
And then our wedding day
When I reflect at where I am
How quickly time has sped away
<br>
With laughter and through sorrows
But how great have been our joys
To top the list our greatest gifts
Have been our girls ...

IN AN ASTERISK 3/8/2005
The stillness of the stars, the brightness of the moon
A perfect setting for one with thoughts of romance
Like the gentle yet cold breeze of the night
Like an asterisk with many lines across
Why am i denying when it is love i hold? There i am confused with my wandering heart.
Why keep on torturing myself?
Why should i keep on hiding?
So many whys, not even a single ...

Missing Little Things 2/16/2005
Missing Little Things
<br>
The sound and the rustle of wet autumn leaves
<br>
And raindrops like nickels that fall from the eaves

The smell of the fireplace anew in the breeze
Pull gray winter clouds over treetops with ease
<br>
So we snuggle and wrestle for a place warm and dry
<br>
And match thoughts just briefly; the blink of ...

The Call of the Gulls 12/29/2004
THE CALL OF THE GULLS by Betty ThomasAs the mist of the ocean
pounds against the rocks of the cliffS.... And echoes off
again and again... my mind wanders in the mystery of love.
Watching the gentleness of the ocean when calm... reminds
me of his gentle touch.... As he searches the caves of my
soul.....And finds the love within. While walking a sandy
path way.... Down the way.... I hear his ...

The pink mist of August
Is descending upon the city
Above and beyond lies
The eternal blue sky.

To see August again and again.
No wind, no rain, no clouds
August brings
This solemn mist
To delight my senses.

Everything stands still
At this hour
Four in the afternoon
Just a few birds
Make their presense felt

Betty (A narrative Poem Rewrite done for Belle Waring) 10/26/2004
Another journey around old sol.
Betty, in her winter-years, has driven
the route eighty times, while revering all life.
She tells me, "You'll go to Hell for killing slugs!"
She knows I especially like 'gooshing' the
contrail-on-the-pavement-land-squid on her sidewalk.
I laugh to contradict her, knowing, in my heart,
I do each slimy plant-eating, mollusc a Buddhist-like
favor with a ...
