Ten years of marriage ⚭

Ten years of marriage.

Dreamed by your side, woken laid you by,
cried to your face,
puke and fesses
left me no grace.

Blessed were we twice,
ugly divine creation.
Fortunate even more times
than we dare to mention.

We built on as hard a rock
as we could phantom.
We collected springs
and winters in measure.

Faced as unity would
dreadful pranks of fate,
unshakable in embrace.

Felt your sour rage
felt the sourest rage
as despair and disgrace.

Knowing to trust
our devotion to us
made our love prevail.


Not that love of poetry
but that of every day,
tougher and truer.
