(326)▪︎[ To My Nicole … 2025 ]

[ Goodnight ]
[ To The One That You Absolutely Hate To Fight ]
[ But Who Is Your Light ]
[ That Shines Like A Beacon ]
[ Nice & Bright ]
[ For You When You Feel Like A Frightened Little Boy ]
[ In The Middle Of The Night ]
[ Searching For Jesse, Not A Toy ]

[ She Is The Drops Of Rain That Make The Flowers Grow ]
[ She Is The Warm Sun ]
[ That Comes Out & Chases Away The Black Clouds That Sink So Low ]
[ Letting Us Come Out Of Our Houses To Play & Have Fun ]
[ Even Though ]
[ Your Run ]
[ Has Become Really Slow ]

[ She Is The Moon That Rises High Up Above ]
[ So The World Is Not Dark ]
[ She Is The One That Has Been The First Woman To Show You True Love ]
[ & The Only One That Left Her Mark ]

[ On A Truly Broken Heart ]
[ That Through The Years ]
[ Was Torn Apart ]
[ By Many Days That Caused You To Shed Tears ]

[ Because Of Many Broken Family Ties ]
[ The Word “Family” ]
[ Has Been As Bad For Your Health As The Oil That Cooks McDonald’s Fries ]
[ From What You Could See ]
[ Families Are Full Of A Bunch Of Lies ]

[ Family Feels So Much Better When You Get To Choose ]
[ Whoever You Want To Be In Your Inner Circle ]
[ You Can Never Lose ]
[ When Your People Love To Play The Game Called “Quirkle” ]

[ She Taught You How To Spot The People That Are Fake ]
[ The Ones That Never Give ]
[ & Only Take ]
[ She Has Been A Good Sport ]
[ As You Have Tried To Teach Yourself How To Bake ]
[ Without Having To Drink Down The “Pepto Bismol” By The Quart ]

[ She Is Quite The Lady ]
[ & A Great Cook ]
[ She Never Approaches The Word Shady ]
[ Later On In Your Life, Maybe She Will Help You Gather All Your Stories So You Can Make Yourself A Book ]

[ Even Though She Is Extremely Busy She Does Slow Down To Be Your Biggest Fan ]
[ When You Are Writing She Never Pushes You For Perfection ]
[ But She Does Want You To Do The Best That You Can ]
[ Then She Will Always Come Behind You To Make Any Grammatical Corrections ]
[ Only Since She Has Been By Your Side, Have You Felt Like A Complete Man ]

[ The Relationship You Were In Prior To Meeting Her, Gave You Quite The Emotional Beating ]
[ That Woman Left You In Such Financial & Emotional Distress ]
[ Ever Since Your First Greeting ]
[ Little Miss Satan In A Dress ]
[ Was Always Cheating ]
[ Causing Quite The Mess ]
[ Because The Problem Kept Repeating ]
[ But She Never Learned When Or How To Confess ]

[ Then You Took Your Chances On Waiting ]
[ Before Jumping Back Into That Unpredictable Social Game ]
[ Called Dating ]
[ But Then Nothing Was Ever The Same ]
[ After You Started Saying ]
[ Nicole Marie’s Beautiful Name ]

[ You Never Knew That Your Hardened Heart Could Melt ]
[ After Literally Figuring Out What The Word “Love” Really Meant ]
[ & Becoming Comfortable How True Love Really Felt ]
[ Since All Of Your Past Relationships Put Together Never Made A Dent ]

[ When You Finally Found The Right Woman That You Thought Would ]
[ Become Your Wife ]
[ You Decided That You Should ]
[ Cutout All Of The Meaningless Strife ]
[ & Then You Finally Could ]
[ Put Everything Else Behind You & Settle Down Into A Wonderful New Life ]

(132)▪︎[ Just A Word … 2025 ]

[ P.E. ]
[ This Is What I Have To Say To You, From Me ]
[ Sometimes Your Mind May Not Feel Like It Is Totally Free ]

[ Of All The Gunk & All The Clutter ]
[ There Must Be Days When You Feel Like You Are Walking Through Streams Of Butter ]

[ The Kind Of Butter That Clogs Your Arteries & Veins ]
[ There Will Be Days Where There Are Headaches ]
[ Like The Ones Where You Feel Like You’ve Been Hit By A Couple Of Southbound Trains ]

[ Southbound, Northbound, Coming From The East ]
[ To The West ]
[ There Is No Direction That You Like The Least ]
[ There’s No Direction That You Like The Best ]

[ Those Are The Times Where You Lean On Friends That Are Near & Far ]
[ Even On The One That You Won’t Ever See By Driving A Car ]

[ I Imagine That Sometimes Those Pretty Eyes Can Seem Like They Look Through Someone ]
[ The Kind Of Look Where They Think That You Are Telling That Person They Are About To Be Number One ]

[ On Your Short Shit List ]
[ They Are The Ones That You Really Want To Give The Finger To ]
[ But Instead, You’re Telling Them To Fuck Off By Blowing Them A Kiss ]
[ Because You Don’t Want To Be Rude While You’re In The Public View ]

[ Oh P.E., If You Only Knew The Sunshine That You Bring To All Of Those Around ]
[ You Have Such Pretty Eyes ]
[ That Some Men Can Only Take Looking @ Them For So Long Before They Have To Look @ The Ground ]

[ That’s A Different Perspective, That Is Something New ]
[ You Don’t See That ]
[ Because You’re Not Looking @ It From This Point Of View ]

[ Once Again, You Found The Love Of Your Life ]
[ & He Turns Out To Be A Very Smart Man ]
[ Because Mike Asked You, If You Wanted To Be His Wife ]

[ Not Too Many Men Find The Day ]
[ Where They Can Catch Up To The One That Previously Got Away ]

[ Do You Expect A Man Who Respects You Fully? ]
[ Mike Seems To Have A Good Head On Those Broad Shoulders ]
[ & He’s Not A Bully ]

[ You Are Loved By Many, But Truly Loved, By One ]
[ I Can Imagine That Once He Saw You Again ]
[ His Single Days Were Done ]

[ A Smart Man Would Treat You Like The Queen That You Are ]
[ I’m Not Saying Go Out & Buy You A Car ]
[ I’m Saying That His Love Will Be So Obvious, That People Will Know & See It From Near & Far ]

[ It Is Not About The Gifts That You Will Get ]
[ That Will Show That Mike Will Treat You Like A Queen ]
[ He Will Have To Have A Particular Mindset ]
[ That He Will Either Treat You As One, Because There’s Nowhere In-Between ]

[ Either Mike Doesn’t Know Or He Does ]
[ That You Don’t Give Flowers To Your Significant Other Only After An Argument ]
[ You Buy Gifts & Send Flowers Just Because ]
[ & You Never, Ever Tell Her How Much Money You Spent ]

[ In The True Give & Take Relationship, Nobody Is The Number One Boss ]
[ When There Is A Shift In The Power ]
[ The Powerless Feels Nothing But Loss ]
[ Minute By Minute, Hour By Hour ]
[ You Won’t Have Any Idea The Emotional Cost ]
[ That Will Turn The Relationship Sour ]

[ Relationships Don’t Grow Only During Good & Happy Times ]
[ They Grow During The Darkest Days ]
[ When There Are Mountains To Climb ]

[ In Marriage There Is No Such Thing As Participation Trophies ]
[ When You Are Inactive ]
[ Don’t Always Take Selfies ]
[ When You’re Reactive ]
[ Only Get Out One Of Your Comfy’s ]
[ When You’ve Been Proactive ]

[ Advice About Longevity Can Vary From Couple To Couple ]
[ Communication, Patience, Understanding & Forgiveness ]
[ Should Be In That “THOUGHT” Bubble ]

[ I’ve Always Said “MARRIAGE IS THE HARDEST JOB THAT YOU COULD EVER HAVE” ]
[ “BUT THE MOST REWARDING” ]
[ When You’ve Got (2) Like Minded People, It Will Cut Your Problems In ½ ]
[ & Keep Your Life Less Stressful & Not Boring ]

[ P.E., You Are A Once In A Lifetime Shooting Star ]
[ Your Inner Beauty, Personality, & Character ]
[ Puts You In Front Of Other Women, By Far ]

[ You Have A Good Soul & A Kind Heart ]
[ That’s Why You & Mike ]
[ Were Never Meant To Spend The Rest Of Your Lives Apart ]

Mahalo,

(To My Beautiful Wife …)

[ I Often Think About The Nights When I Talked To This Stranger ]
[ Everything Was Friendly ]
[ Then One Day I Thought My Heart Was In Danger ]

[ The Stranger Eventually Became My Wife ]
[ There Were Many Times That She Saved My Life ]

[ Figuratively ]
[ & Literally ]

[ My Life Was Stuck In Neutral, When We Met ]
[ I Was Sad Every Night Whener She Left ]

[ We Would Talk For Hours About Real Life Things ]
[ About Happy Moments ]
[ & What In Your Life Really Stings ]

[ She Checked Every Box On The List Of (SHE MUST) ]
[ @ The Start Of Our Friendship ]
[ Romance Wasn’t Just ]

[ It Did Not Fit With Me Yet ]
[ I Could Not Fathom How Far This Union Would Get ]

[ 26.5 Years & Still Counting ]
[ Problems Will Always Be There ]
[ They Are Not @ The Moment Mounting ]

[ It Is A Wonderful Feeling Knowing That You Get To Wake-Up
Next To Your Best Friend & Partner All In One ]
[ The Bad Times Are Hard ]
[ But The Good Times Are Alot Of Fun ]

[ We Give Alot More Hugs Than Bump Heads ]
[ She Helps Me Remember, Dispense & Purchase All Of My Meds ]

[ I Remember The Days When I Thought That All We Would Be Was
Good Friends ]
[ This Definitely Is Not One Of Those Dead-Ends ]

[ I Am Not Saying To Run Out & Date Someone From Your
Inner Circle Right NOW ]
[ It Worked For Me ]
[ But I Can Not Tell Anyone A (WHY) Or A (HOW?) ]

[ It Just Worked ]
[ She Married Me & My Quirks ]

[ I Don’t Ever Leave The Seat Up Whenever I Use Her Toilet ]
[ Whenever She Goes In After Me, I Want To Tell Her She
Has No Need To Fret ]

[ I Don’t Have Caveman Manners Or Grew Up In A Barn ]
[ There Will Be No Screams From Downstairs ]
[ Unless Someone Hid The Yarn ]

[ The Big Things Are No Longer A Big Deal ]
[ Because The Person Beside Me Is Real ]

[ Dating A Good Friend Does Not Always Work Out ]
[ It Usually Is Filled With Many Days & Nights Of Doubt ]
[ But Don’t Pout ]

[ Love Can Find You When Your Back Is Turned ]
[ But Many Times Someone Gets Burned ]

[ You Could Say That In The Bigger Scheme Of Things ]
[ My Love For You Is Not Attached By Strings ]

[ I Do Not Need To Be Tethered To You Or You To Me ]
[ That Gives You The Freedom To Walk Away Free ]

[ If That Is Where Our Relationship Should Go ]
[ If That Is The Case ]
[ Then Only You Would Know ]

[ We Try To Have Good Communication Going Back & Forth ]
[ We Always Need Our Heads To Be Headed North ]

(1234)▪︎[ How It All Happened … 10•12•2019 ]

[ We Met One Day, Downstairs In A Breakroom ]
[ After That Casual Meeting ]
[ I Didn’t Know That A Year & A Half Later I’d Be Your Groom ]
[ All Of This After I Asked You If You Wanted To
     Rent The Other Room ]

[ It Seems Like We Were Meant To Be Husband & Wife ]
[ The Third Degree Of Separation ]
[ Happened Very Early In My Life ]

[ It Was Like The Turning Of The Clock ]
[ When My Father’s Mother ]
[ Lived Near Your Family Almost On The Same Block ]

[ Then I Was Asked What Your Last Name Was ]
[ Why Did She Want To Know? ]
[ Oh, Just Because? ]

[ When I Said The Name I Gave Your Mother’s Maiden Name ]
[ I Don’t Know Why I Said It ]
[ Because It Wasn’t Even Close To Being The Same ]

[ It Turned Out That Your Mother & My Step-Mother
     Went To School Together When They Were Young ]
[ It’s Not Like The Ladder Was Sturdy ]
[ When I Climbed It Rung By Rung ]

[ I Loved Everything About You When We Talked Late Into
     The Night ]
[ But There Was No Spark ]
[ Until … ]
[ One Day I Woke-Up & Saw You Under A Different Light ]

[ Right Away We Knew We Were Meant For Each Other ]
[ I’ve Had Plenty Of Dates With Other Women In The Past ]
[ After That Awakening Day, I Never Wanted Another ]

[ I Knew I Wanted To Marry You As Soon As Possible ]
[ But Getting You A Good Ring ]
[ Was Far From Probable ]

[ Then I Went To Alaska For The Wedding Of A Friend From
     My College Years ]
[ When I Was Up There I Talked About You So Much ]
[ I Possibly Hurt Their Ears ]

[ From That Conversation a Diamond Wedding Ring Set Fell
     Into My Lap ]
[ I Told Her That There Will A Gap ]

[ Between Now & When It Would Be Paid ]
[ I Thought The Woman Was So Excited ]
[ I Could Have Got Laid ]

[ I Went & Got On The Plane With The Ring Set ]
[ Stuffed In A Box ]
[ & Then Into My Pocket ]

[ I Had To Wait A Few Months Before I Could Propose ]
[ December 25th, 1994 Was The Date That I Chose ]

[ @ First Her Mom Sent Her Off To Another Room With
     A Task ]
[ When She Came Back ]
[ I Knelt Down In Front Of Her & Said That I had Something
     That I Wanted To Ask ]

[ As I Contemplated Where To Sit ]
[ I Looked Her In The Eyes & Asked … (WHAT TIME IS IT?) ]

[ One Thing, That People Say ]
[ Is That You Don’t Want To Be Mad @ Each Other @ The End Of
     The Day ]

[ That Is Nearly Impossible To Happen ]
[ Once Something Is Said … ]
[ Then … ]

[ (2) Very Important Tasks, Is To Give & Have Trust ]

[ ( HELLO ) Turns To Like, Then Turns To Love ]
[ A Committment Is Made, That Is As Tight As A Glove ]

[ Through The Years, Each Other Goes Through Changes, But
     They Always Need To Adjust As They Come ]
[ Never, You Say Never, Call Your Spouse Dumb ]

[ It Is Imperative ]
[ That In Stressful Times, You Need To Get Creative ]

[ Understand That Each Of You Comes With Emotional
     Baggage & Faults ]
[ Always Give, From The Heart ]

[ Celebrate Milestones & Never Forget Birthdays Or The
     Anniversary Of Your Wedding Day ]
[ Stick Together Through The Good & The Bad ]
[ & … Stay ]

[ You Are 25 Years In ]
[ & You Would Do All Of This All Over Again & Again ]

[ But You Would Also Change A Few Events That Blocked
     Your Path ]
[ You Would Have Done Better In Your Classes While In
     College ]
[ Especially In Math ]

[ Maybe You Would Have Called Out Of Work, The Night Of
     The Life-Changing Riot ]
[ & Stayed Home Where There Was Peace & Quiet ]

[ You Would Change How You Raised Your Son ]
[ The Way He Is Now ]
[ You Never Liked How It Was All Done ]

[ In The Right Place ]
[ So I’m Able To Write A Good Rhyme ]
[ Without Feeling Like A Disgrace ]

[ You Need A Licence To Get Married ]
[ But It Doesn’t Come With An Instructional Booklet ]

Can Be Done Better By Someone Else ]
