Carl Roussell Poems

Spring has come
with it's longer days
and shorter nights.
...

This pretty little rhyme
Are words written in time.
A feeling said succinctly.
Write a poem for her,
...

Pictures on the wall;
memories they recall are
moments in my life.
I watch as time changes them
...

The friends in my life
keep me from being alone
when no one is here.
I know you're out there somewhere.
...

Would it have been better if it had not
happened for the first time the way it did?
Would it have been better had I not got
hope for a second; no matter, she did.
...

He is quiet now.
The silence preferable
to spoken excess;
effect - misunderstanding.
...

I won't lie to you
as I've done with most others.
You will hear my truth.
Pretty Lady, you've earned it.
...

Hermetically
Sealed history of a life
Never to be read.
Tucked away and locked away;
...

Please stop.
I'm telling you
I don't want to listen
To words that blur reality;
...
