They were trying to patch things together
And their therapist gave them an exercise to try
Perhaps they shouldn’t have taken it literally
Eventually the EMT was able to unwrap them from all the duct …
Tape (an acrostic poem)

Thrill (an acrostic poem)
That first time my lips grazed yours
How my world changed forever
Racing hearts beating together
It left me dizzy and short of breath
Let me tell you, I couldn’t wait to do that again
Loving that hit of raw adrenaline
Peel (an acrostic poem)
Prying back her man’s rough outer layer
Exposed the fact that he was surprisingly human
Except she didn’t want to believe that
Lifting his freshly stilled heart out of the way, she continued to look for essence of monster
Flour (an acrostic poem)
Flowers were nice and all
Letting you show that you care
Oh, but that is so trite and common
Unusual gifts will demonstrate you care that much more
Really you should give her a loaf of freshly baked homemade bread
Fear (an acrostic poem)
Focusing on what caused him to tremble
Embracing the terror he held in his hand
Allowed him to rise above that base emotion and use it to his advantage
Reaching for the top of the box he opened it and asked, “Will you marry me?”
Dish (an acrostic poem)
Determined to consume her weight in pasta
It tasted so good. The sauce was so savory
Slurping noodle after noodle splattered sauce everywhere
Her date watched with a hungry smile. He thought she was such a tasty…
Bass (an acrostic poem)
Booming vibrato oscillating his tonsils
As his car vibrated with each beat, threatening to loosen every fastener
So, he knew he should lower the volume, but
Since he just couldn’t stand to hear her voice anymore…
Tide (an acrostic poem)
These times she felt like she was being washed out to sea
It caused her to panic and thrash erratically
Diving in, her wife swam out to meet and support her
Emerging from the ocean of troubles she dried her off with her love
Fuel (an acrostic poem)
Fiddling with her coffee mug, she looked out the window with dead eyes
Ugly vibes hung in the air on words that shouldn’t have been said
Everyone, even him, had to understand life’s fundamental truth
Leave her alone until she tanked up on at least one mug full
Magnetic (an acrostic poem)
Mutual attraction brought the two of them together
And once they touched, they were inseparable
Giving those around them uneasy feelings
Not because of their intense connection
Explicitly because they were so opposite of each other
Their friends thought any day now the relationship would explode
It didn’t dawn on them that the couples’ differences were what united them
Causing their two halves to truly be one whole
Never Short On Words
