On our wedding day
I’d never felt taller
Maybe I just needed
A rooftop to scream off of.
Towering over everybody
Taking you by the hand,
We left as quick as possible
Tires kicking up dirt.
You still wear that dress today
And I think that’s wonderful,
I’d say you were never prettier
But I’d be lying.
You’re most beautiful
When you scowl at the sun,
For interrupting sleep
And cutting dreams short.
I’m just glad
That when the sun does rise
That you’re there at all
I really don’t get it.
You chose this
You chose me,
My body underwhelming
At the very best.
My mind plagued
With beasts and thistles,
And my soul
Struggling to float.
I’m like the arms
In a three legged race
Flailing
Most unhelpful.
But I said
I do
And
So did you.
Miracles really do happen.

If you’ll be the sun
I’ll be the moon,
Reflecting your radiance
Long after you’ve fallen.

Mulled Wine
How have your teeth
Not yet dissolved
Like sugar cubes
In sweet mulled wine?
How have your legs
Not yet gone brittle
From upholding
So fearsome a beauty?
How has your mind
Not yet shattered
From containing
Such brilliance?
How have your fingers
Not yet liquefied
From writing stories
Like a flash flood?
– Vagabond Prophet
Age well, age poorly
See if I care,
You’ll still just be more you
Sweetening my air.
Met Your Match
Gravity has finally met its match in you
Tell me where do you hide your wings
I could swear you belong in the sky
With all that grace and beauty,
Why do you walk beside me
And not above me?
– Vagabond Prophet
Waves
You’re lovely and kind
Your movements sublime
Like the tide
Making everything around you rise and fall.
Can I be the foam on your waves?
Shaped by your motion
Accenting your dance
With my excitement to just be near you.

Peanut Butter
I was like a peanut
Stubbornly intact
When you started to cut me.
Then torn asunder
In an instant
Split wide open
Laid bare just for you.
Now you can do what you like
Making butter or milk
To have with your bread
I’ll be smoother than silk.
– Vagabond Prophet
Oil Paintings
You taught me about oil paintings
How they’re always drying
Colours evolving
To find their own beauty
Hidden deep within.
I’ll be that for you
Never perfect but improving
Peeling off my layers
To find strength down under.
As I let the sun embolden me
Year after year.
– Vagabond Prophet
What’s your favourite digit?
Mine is your finger
The one you use to stroke my hair
When you think I’m asleep.
Vagabond Prophet
The significance of your magnificence is never lost on me so I’ll get lost in you.
