Darker than Night- A Poem of Blindness

Darkness comes,
From sudden light.
Darker now than darkest night.
Nowhere for me to fly,
Why should I not lie?
Who knows what to say?
Who would care for more today?

Love is blind,
Or so They say.
Justice blind,
So why I pray?
God took away your sight,
So that you might see the light.
How cruel to blame,
My God!
Who are you?
What am I to do?
Pause and wait in silent prayer,
Someone out there really does care.
Hold my hand for all beware.
Now I am atop the stair.

Broken Valentine

In class we'd talk of themes,
You'd never hear my dreams.
Talk of how Brooke's Soldier dies,
Of Owen's guttering lies.

Then trembling in the halls,
I'd wait until the bell calls.
Wait in trembling fear
Would you even be here?

Then in answer to its ring,
Then my heart began to sing.
There you are my dazzling blonde.
Whom my heart will always be fond.

In your eyes of shining blue.
Love for me I will see.
Take from my hand,
This card of Love on your dresser to stand.
"
What is this?"

I hear that laugh.


Then a moments sad sigh,
Card in hand you pass me by.
To the waste bin you do toss.
My heart for a loss.

Strike me for a fool,
Gave my heart for you to rule.
When in times anew,
Someone else will e'er be true.

Four Seasons: To My Wife

You make Angels in the snow,
"It's Cold Don't ya' know?"
You laugh and throw,
A snowball at my toe.

I love you more and more,
When wind and rain do roar.
The warming of the days,
Beings light to your face.

In Spring I hear you sing,
Watching swallows on the wing.
You hold me in your arms
Share all your charms.

With the Summer's fire,
You do inspire.
We walk along the beach,
Now you chase, but just out of reach.

Then when the world goes brown,
You never wear a frown.
Oh my darling wife,
Each year you bring light to my life.
