time flies

Are You My America

Run run run

Where ?

Athens

The earth says

Yield

Stop

Stop running

Kissing feet

Bending low

Sobbing loud

Radiating sorrow

Pleading mercy
You are

You only You

Defending freedom

Are you my America ?

Is nonsense a disease ?

Are we candle brains ?

Plain cattle

Are you my friend cousin or wife ?

Trusting my government

And not me

Am I losing it ?

Yes I am

Yes I am

No I ain’t

No I ain’t

Life

Life is 

Illusions dreams

Sometimes lies

Was mama wrong?

My mama said

Good men don’t lie

Are You My America

Run run run

Where ?

Athens

Why ?

The earth says

Surrender

Stop

Stop running

Kissing feet or testicles

Bending curling kneeling

Sobbing loud

Radiating sorrow

Pleading mercy

Submission

My God You are

You only You

The ultimate Defender of freedom

The hub of democracy

Are you my America ?

Is nonsense a disease ?

Are we candle brains ?

Plain cattle

Are you my friend cousin or wife ?

Trusting my government

And not me

Am I losing it ?

Yes I am

Yes I am

No I ain’t

No I ain’t

Life

Life is 

Illusions dreams

Sometimes lies

Was mama wrong?

My mama said

Good men don’t lie

why weddings

Why do we have weddings?

To celebrate and to remember.

To celebrate life family and good things good memories. And to remember.

To connect our past to our future.

Today is such a connection; a new beginning for Justin and Meghan and for our family.

This is a magical moment. And I want to thank Gloria for her glorious efforts to make this wedding possible. I also want to thank many Angels among us who made a new  beginning possible, my loyal  beautiful  wife Judi, Ara ,Gregory, Chloe, the man Garo and the woman Marina, Kristin  ,Raul, Pauline , Sy ,Selin, Rehan and Bernard.

I thank Justin and Meghan for giving me the opportunity to share a poem.

It is true that I’ve been writing thousands of poems . publishing poetry books no one reads. And today its my privilege to share a poem I have written for Justin and Meghan.

September 17, 2016

This was not just a wedding of Justin and Meghan.

 It was a poetic triumph of life.

 A celebration , a joyous day transforming the agony  of Meghan’s dad Donald’s-  premature death –and a few bumpy Salerian years into happy tears.

Please watch the images….. you may feel  what inspired my poem. 

               Justin And Meghan

A poem for dreams

Dream like clouds

The bluest sky

Ooh those instant years

Infants  men now

Baby Chloe texting

Remember them ?

Almond and brown eyes

Agopovitch eyes

Joe’s red hair

Gregory-Kristin faces

Never forget Ara- Sy fires

And billowing smoke

Pauline is silent

Years under the bridge

100 years from now

Judig Donald Gloria and I

In the clouds

Watching you

Yes you Justin and Megan

You  sharing a pillow on sandy dunes

Making the moon jealous

Its Thanksgiving

Cheers red wine chatters

You talking soft

Holding hands

Walking slow

Us trembling

Us .. tremors and tears

Clouds ready to cry

Do you hear what I hear

Hear trumpets

Marching sounds

Echoes barely audible

Cresendoing glorious sounds

Fantastic music

From today

From  us

This very wedding chanting

Let’s go Clemson

Let’s go Tigers

Let’s go Redskins

Touchdown Redskins and Tigers
