Chester Maynes Poems

Unremembered counts
Of endless miles
Those unrecorded distance
Of random drives
...

Nibbling
Your kernels
Layer to layer
How sweet
...

You are and
Your embrace
It’s shallow
...

I ponder a memory
Two year old history
Of you and me and misery
I write to you this poetry
...

Life is knockout
Life is flop
Winners laugh
Losers cry
...

Sipping and sitting
Addicting to you
I watch a sunset
It is our end
...

My nocturnal enemy
Sneaking when
I am not awake
You hurt my skin
...

They are over
Since we parted
Those breakfasts
Those meetings
...

Pelting me
Gradually
Hitting me
On my skins
...

Pleading—
I can’t retreat
Aching details
Of past and present
...
