Chester Maynes Poems

Bridges to love and miles to grab
This ailing absence in a distant sob
Falling fast as a swaying dove
Echoes more hurt of a soul been robbed
...

I stand at the portal of my being immortal
In the verge of awe, there is a huge revival
It took me in abrupt renewal
This is the channel-essential
...

Leaves of winter
Icy and snowy
Too cold
My feet numb on roads
...

It is a long, long distance
We are bounded

Space upon space
...

Pouring me
Filling my mouth
My lips are burning
With the heat of your lips
...

Our feet thumped the bricks of Hanoi
These eyes were fervent for the Long Bien Bridge
Old quarter’s map shown us West
We sauntered the Independence Day streets
...

Among the patches
Among the patches on my household drape
Match a mass of facts
Facts of colors and black and white
...

Across the line of east and west
Floats a fleeting explosion.
Reaches an absolute scenery
Of wild beasts and tamed wolves.
...

Reaching—
The heights of you
Touching—
Your beautiful soul
...

Leather feels
My earth
I am bolstered
When you drape me
...
