Happy Anniversary Darling


from the ABC set Poems 1

1989 was the year
that I first laid my eyes on you
you were in a long dress
standing alone
I knew…
no!
I hoped…
you would me mine

engulfed in passion
like a fire
burning hot
irresistible
this was a preeminently defining moment
I knew then…

you would be mine!

in the 21 years that have passed
we have travelled long roads
through distant lands
and seen many things
but some things don’t change

for you are still irresistible to me
and our souls still inseparable
and I know that all the shit they throw at us…

We will always laugh in their faces together!
