Adrian Wait Poems

Did no one tell the pigeons
That the Cinema was closed
For they sit in silent queues
Moving from foot to foot
...

I’ll meet you on the far side of today
between yesterday and tomorrow
where we’ll reconcile the breach
betwixt what was, and
...

Faded smile…Mmm
Frozen, fractured
Sideway glance
Weren’t you once?
...

Never say I was a clever man
Every inch the bleeding clown
Whose smiles are upside down
Revealed from dreams unwound
...

Greed
Indifference
Repetitive shadows
yield not substance
...

Turning to glimpse
We fail to see,
Transcendent Moment
Sunlit and still
...

Enjoy the sweetness along the way
Overlooking all the hard knocks
The breath it was worth taking
It was all so easy then
...

In the sea of sound
Distraction rules
Life is from, through
And to, within our grasp
...

I followed with outstretched hands
You caught me when I fell
I learned to wobble, then to walk
With you all would be well
...

Days amble by
From childhood to youth
Songbirds seldom heard
Sunrise rarely welcomed
...
