In Loving Memory James F. Logue
I have whispered your name into the air so many times it has become the breeze that blows
I was like a rain cloud over a small garden and dammit if you weren’t that garden so full of flowers that I fell in love
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
I don’t remember any anesthesia after talking with you but I woke up stitched back
I’ve always been at the very least a little caught up on everything about you This idea of you
To put it simply each beat of your heart is a gift that I receive with the anticipation of a child at christmas
I wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight
Autumn sneaks in preceding dormancy Leaves take on new beauty with nothing left in them but a fa… Individually insignificant
I’ll keep searching for the meaning of life and I hope I find it as crumpled paper nearish a trash can
I grew up in a house built in 1937 long before codes and regulations and sometimes
There is poetry in nature better left to be spoken wordlessly by the breeze
There is a girl and I love her and I have loved her since the beg… Or so it seems to me as I only became conscious
I awoke from a deep sleep and knew the reason was to write I love you
If nature were so flattered by poems written with itself in mind as people are we would be moving mountains
