I have seen perfection
    and trembled at its awesome fury.
The once pillow soft haze
    racing across a gray canvas.
    A curtain hanging so low
    that I could almost reach….
Electricity vibrating in all things living;
    Filling an emptiness in my soul.
Each bright flash recalling a memory

The faint odor of the sea
In each hurtling raindrop
And for one brief moment,
A feeling of belonging.
A moment of bliss within perfection.

a living hell

all the days of his life.

of broken promises

For richer, for poorer

searching for answers…..

in sickness and in health

where did it all go wrong?

in good times and bad

perhaps at the beginning

and forsaking all others

with two simple words)

until death do you part

I do
