For my friend, marrying today

[flyguy69]

They walk waist-wrapped, head-
tipped, and their breeze turns
calendar pages as they pass.

“This day is like yesterday,” she says,
“unchanged, unchanging. A day
we know already and trust
like an old friend.”

“This day is like tomorrow,” he says,
a mold from which all days
will be cast. See this s-shaped
space between us? How it follows
the line of your body
and mine? That is how all days
will be.”

“This day is like all days,” she says,
“waves that peel from an endless
sea, each bearing a frothy gift
of delicate delights. See them arranged
before us, as far as our eyes
allow.”

“This day is like no other,” he says,
“the day on which the world
pauses and dawn halts
her westward race, reveals
for us a golden band
of light encircling all days
and changing them forever.”

On this day they marry.


Congratulations, J!

It's lovely. Will you read it for them?

The poem in my head on my wedding day was something like "Oh god. give me a lot of champagne. fast."

mine was--

Dear god get me out of these uncomfortable stockings fast

which I did
on the way to the reception
it was my wedding day, I can go bare if I want to damn it

 

[Angeline]

My dates tended not to be the type where you'd drink champagne.

But if you want to take me for a drink somewhere upscale, I'll order top shelf. lol.

Yep. Stockings. Not pantihose. And a garter.

Which my best friend's 4-year-old daughter caught. lol.

Congratulations, J!

Simply, thank you.

I printed out your poem and gave it my fair 'bride to be' and she is still smiling. Mr flyguy69, you're golden to her and to me as well.

Thank you to all for putting up with my sappy poetry to her. With a new relationship, Tide Flow was the first I wrote and more recent Suddenly, craving, after a 2am snack-attack. Safeway is going to miss us after this month (but of course, there are always Pampers instead of cravings. )

[flyguy69]

You're welcome buddy. Ummm, shouldn't you be somewhere else, right now?

Congrats to both of you!

 

[sandspike]

Cool

Fly,I didn't realize the compassion and love you carry around. Congrats. Neon..

Will you take back the ringing in my ears, too? Maybe it is just Neo's wedding bells. But why are tweety birds circling my head?

That's not me. It's all those years you sat too close to the speakers.

 

[Maria2394]

Congratulations, Neo

wishing you two all the happiness in the world!!

Ursula told me, a looooong time ago

 

[flyguy69]

I'm there with you baby...all those rock concerts as close as I could get to the music. The only benefit was it gave my mother the opportunity to say I told you so.

And have you seen ee's av? He needs an earphone now.

I was the guy that changed shirts at intermission because I would be dripping with sweat!

I think I remember you-- Springsteen, '84, you had that gauzy peasant top with the strings swingin' to the music. You did some little hitch step thing with your hands behind your back. I yelled "Do ya' wanna get out of here?" but you thought I said "Do ya' dye your hair?" and bitch slapped me.

I still smile when I rub my cheek.

Yeah that was me. I wore those hippie clothes. Still do sometimes.

But I don't dye my hair. I'll end up with white hair like Emmy Lou Harris, but that's fine by me.

I have seen the boss a bunch of times. I'd go again, too, just to hear him do Rosalita.

A final version

The opening of this thread was really more of an all-of-a-sudden piece to acknowledge Neo's big day. But, since it has turned into a cheap and easy way to send a wedding gift, I rubbed a little polish on it and offer the final version here.

Wedding Day

They walk waist-wrapped, head-
tipped, and their breeze turns
calendar pages as they pass.

"This day is like yesterday," she says,
"unchanged, unchanging. A day
we know already and trust
as an old friend."

"This day is like tomorrow," he says,
"a mold from which all days
are cast. This s-shaped
space, this hollow that follows
the line of our bodies; that is how
the future will look."

"This day is like all days," she says,
"waves that peel from an endless
sea, each bearing a sun-gilt gift
of delicate delights. See them arranged
before us, as far as our eyes
allow."

"This day is like no other," he says,
"the day on which dawn pauses
in her westward race, revealing
a golden band
of light encircling all days
and changing them forever."

"This day is the day
that matters," they agree,
and on this day
they marry.

 

[BooMerengue]

I just got this from Neo...

On this our special wedding day
We would both just like to say
We have a house with contents too
So presents would not really do.
But if a gift you'd like to bring
A *Wal Mart* voucher is the thing.
We hope this will not cause offence
But in our case it makes more sense.​

Just kidding...

Congratulations, Neo! I don't much believe in marriage but I sincerely do wish the best for anyone who wants it! Next full moon I'll dance naked under the oak just for you and her, ok? Then surely all good things will befall you! lol
