  FELLOW LOVERS

  *
  

  We are
  fellow lovers
  of the sea.
  Because of
  her
  infinity
  to all she gives
  fidelity.

  ANCHORS AWEIGH

  *
  

  The breaking of the day
  Light oer the sea
  makes its way.
  Wind counterpoints
  the 'anchors aweigh!'
  as it fills our sails
  and
  from across the bay
  takes us blissfully away.

  SANDSTITCHING

  *
  

  The sea sandsifting
  Birds sandshifting
  The wind sanddrifting

  but the grass....
  sandstitching

  SAILSTARRED SANDSIFTING SEAWEED-SCRIPTED SEA

  *
  

  Sail-starred, shell-shored, stream-swelled
  sand-sifting, seaweed-scripted sibilant Sea
  secedes silently, softly

  Shadowed shallows sheathing scallops,
  sheltering seals, shielding scuttling snails,
  shrouding sharks. Sands shifting secrete starfish,
  scampering shrimp.

  Serene Sea supports Spanish scows, Sicilian
  skiffs, Senegalese schooners, Seychelles ships,
  Sardinian sculls.

  Saltsmelling sailors see soaring shrieking
  seagulls, striped sunrise, shining sunset,
  shshshing surf.

  Sudden surprising storm's symphonic sounds
  slap shore shacks. Snows slip seaward, spring-subdued.
  Soon sloop slides spiral sleep stairway.

  
  

because he has a crooked tooth

because he is tall and built

because he's short and frumpy

because he's bald

because he's a great fiance

because he's understanding

because he's kind

because he laughs with me

because he cries with me

because he empties the trash for me

because he leaves his dirty dishes in the sink

because he's comfortable when he's with me

because he listens

because he is resilient

because he is cunning

because he is so ugly in the morning and

it makes me feel prettier, and he doesn't even 

care

 because he farts and blames it on me

because he bails me out when i'm down in the dumps

because he has a dimple on one cheek only

because he has nice cheeks***   ;-)

because he smells good

because he has body odor

because he's smart

because he failed the driver's test 4 times in a week

because he dropped out of highschool

because he kissed my forehead when i needed it kissed

because he kissed my ass when i was being a bitch

because he outsmarts people 

because he's a great fiance

because he's the best dad

because he's the best brother in the world

because he is the best friend i ever had

because he's obese

because he's not perfect

because he's perfectly himself

because he works hard

because he tries hard

because he never gives up 

because he loves my cooking

because his hands fit perfectly on my waist

because he eats like a pig

because he snores

because he leaves the toilet seat down

because he hurt my feelings

because he loves me

because i love loving him

because he is a man

............

He was an odd man, who liked to hold his penis,
He always stayed with his aunt,
Never had a girlfriend,
And his mother used to clean for us.

Not particularly handsome,
He searched high and he searched low,
Girls liked him but they'd always say,
'You can't be holding your penis all day'.

One day he chopped it off,
And put it in a jar,
He found a girl to marry,
But their sex life never got far.
