I wish this was my wife

The date is August first 2014

this marks more decades of living the dream

of having the love of Maureen

I still remember the first time I saw

her in my room numbered 572

She was wearing a Hungarian peasant top

and blue jeans

She smiled at me but I was to shy to respond

later that week we were on a corner

raising funds for frosh weak

somehow we mysticalicaly bound

She and Mauve and some other guy whose

name I forget

But we started to fall in love on the corner

of Wellington and Direct

Neither of us moved on this bond

It was a night at the Stork club

that put us into the beyond

We arrived with our own tribes

protective and selective

and determined to stay that way

Maureen was wearing plaid and she looked astonishing

I was wearing a realization

she might be Mrs. right

I cant remember how we did interact on the dance floor

but on the bus ride home

I kissed her deeply

and that exploded the love

We have enjoyed for thirty years plus

and know it will be a reason

to believe in humanity

So began the courtship of our love

I left her plates and glasses at the door

She impressed me more and more

We were not well matched

she was all beautiful and proper

I was a trapper from the dogpatch

Somehow she was caught by my

charm and logical love traps

and today I celebrate how lucky I was

to have a catch that only can be

described joy from above

I could show you a picture of a beautiful

bride produced everyday in Hollywood

for the low intelligent side

Maureen looks natural in that way

Without a speck of makeup

she is a face of beauty

that makes the makers

put the cosmetics away.

Maureen was so beautiful that day

the angels threatened to take her away

I argued with them

and they allowed her to stay.

My beautiful wife, my soul mate,  my life partner

I do not know what force brought us together

but I think you know

neither one of us had any other choice

we were meant to be in the same render

for good or bad

You are my Cleopatra

and I am Anthony

no matter what

civilizations  may crash beneath us

I would not change  anything

because in my world

you are the only

thing
