Three Occasional Poems

 

                                           For Angela

 

Thirty six years to the day
I saw you walking up the aisle
and my knees gave way!

Forty years and counting,
But soon the sun will set,
And the stars will weep,
And moths will come
And butterflies will sleep.

Till then let us stay this way…
In love for ever,
                        like today.

From city to city, from town to town,
They sing of a love that is all around,
But I disagree, there where you are—
That’s where love is to be found.
