Barry Middleton Poems

Nearly midnight, and the thunder calls,
and echoes from the sky on sturdy walls.

Soon sleep will come, and with it gentle rain,
...

now I wish that I could catch
a miracle

some things deny a solid proof
...

before the dawn
a moonless night
there is no star in sight
...

the wishing well of time is deep
lean far to find the soul of tears
the silver blackness hiding there
...

the river will carry you
bend you to its will
fight the river
...

what is the spirit
each man must divine it

we try to analyze it
...

I got the blues, I got the blues
no one to travel on with me

I got the blues, I got the blues
...

the day's listening is done
only my thoughts are heard

the random musings of poetry
...

The Captain of the Universe
is out there building stars.
And looking down he may not like
Senatorial cigars.
...

the chance of redemption seems mighty slim
they blame it on us, we blame it on them

God and the devil had a big fight
...
