Poetry Comer
WOMEN OF CONTROL
In the distant mind Adhesive mud of lust
A strange internal war Domatrix of thought
Ideals frictionaly entwined short order woman
Rich temptation
Warm of the soul
Sever your control
Women rich in deceit
Sirens of the soul
Loosen your control
-Ken Holmes
YOU
From my window at midnight,
I look up toward the sky.
I see the stars so bright.
I think of years gone by.
When life was full of sorrow,
And hope I had was lost.
When living each tomorrow.
Just wasn’t worth the cost.
And yet I know dreams don’t last.
Nor do burdens to one’s soul.
And like all men who’ve fled the
past,
I strive to meet a goal.
For this one caused strive each
day.
My hopes no more in vain.
No more I care what people say.
For now my missions plain.
So here I stand alone this night.
Absorbed in deepest thought.
I’m waiting for the morning light.
I’ve found what I have sought.
-Roger L. Bradley
MEMORIES
Beautiful words: do they come
from the heart....
from emotions deep within?
Writing in truth along with loving
desire to be a part of your
heart!
Your love in its magnificence
keeps your loyalties young:
shining and flowing out of the
wind of time...
Let your heart be crowned with
immortal praise,
if, it be as warm as your touch.
These about you are beautiful: let
me not, be deceived....
your mysterious eyes, what did
they see?
Perhaps, rainbows, like royal
flames?
Your soft touch, warm as a
summer breeze!
The best I have ever known and
missed....
I ask myself why, not knowing
still
that fire burns deep and a heart
doth melt!
Memories of one evening spent
with you....
thoughts linger still; nothing
remains,
it ended too soon!
Yet, golden forever, like eagles
flying.
Now in my perplexed silence, my
muffled mind
tells me, that evening will be
remembered, as a bright star
shining forever!
Rivers wash away stones; some
times leave ferns
yet, 1 reached out, touched the
sun,
and my heart pines with desire!
Perhaps, a mental battle...but not
forever:
for 1 shall see you again,
someday,
again, and then I will know;
being filled with innocence and
prize
thinking of your rare face ashine!
Fire does burn deep; sometimes
leave scars —
dark clouds blow by
but not memories of you
Your sitting in a chair, masses of
dark hair,
unravelled by your shimmering
smile!
May you never feel pain from
yesterdays blows,
clouded with the mystery of
tomorrows sorrows;
astonishment, yet calm in you
exists,
great secrets dared to be
explored!
-Pat Goss Gentry
LIES
The time has come
for me to say
that we must go
our separate ways
you said you would call
but you never did
how did I know
that you were not dead
It’s nice to think
of the times we shared
but now I know
that you never cared
You made me cry
so many times
I still don’t know why
’cause you are not mine
You love yourself
but in the wrong way
life for you
will have no stays
1 pity you dear
but I don’t know why
’cause you are nothing
but one big lie.
