Bill Smith Poems

You turned in my direction
Detonated your smile
Three days later I remain shell shocked
Asking myself
...

Aldis lamp messages shimmer across breeze blown ripples
Early morning haze fuzzes distant hill top dreams
Home lies a sky away
Palm tree shadows crook beckoning fingers
...

The star that hangs
Once meant so much
Time lessens everything but your memory
...

The moondust left where ere you walk
Lights a darkened path
The laughter echo that you leave
Is lovings aftermath
...

Twist of key, glance behind a lovely day for sure
Junk mail screams Cancer, Help us find a Cure
Double Glazing, Credit Cards destined for the bin
No word from those far away, bends and reels them in
...

As skeletons bud to green
Roads cease to morph to
Beaches dressed for the night
When morning comes no sheet of white
...

I remember you,
Shining,
Shining under the spotlight of my stare
Love at first sight
...

Caught between the yesterdays and tomorrows broken dreams
Leafing through the scrapbook of tried and tested schemes
Holding on to evidence of sanity's golden thread
Fighting through the woolen ball unravelled in my head
...

In a rumble tumble morning
After an evenings firelight glow
Prayers are left unanswered
From a God who didn't show
...

grains of sand run through my hand like chances missed by rage
blown on the wind to distant shores i turn another page
i grasp at straws with foolish hope while dreaming of loves glow
and fight my way against the tide absorbing every blow
...
