Denis Martindale Poems

Your life is merely life
Till you find that someone special,
That someone who makes
Everything worthwhile...
...

My world was once quite full of puns,
Like Oscar Wilde gone wild,
Like ricochets from smoking guns,
No more the child so mild...
...

Teenagers so quickly fall in love,
delaying kisses and cuddles and caresses,
then submitting to each in turn,
to treasure them not so much,
...

All that I'm doing writing here,
Believe it, yes or no,
Concerns the letters I can steer,
Determined as I go.
...

It is difficult to avoid the past,
whether waking or sleeping,
for we recall the places visited,
the sweethearts loved and lost...
...

I sense how tired you must feel,
The keyboard neath your nose,
Another poem to reveal
Before your day must close...
...

I've never been to Singapore!
They say it's wondrous there,
The place to thrill you to the core,
The place beyond compare!
...

Painting isn't as easy as the drawing,
for it to become great art,
there's an emptying of the heart,
there's the control from the soul,
...

Come, poets, of the world unite!
Despite the ending day!
I challenge you to seize the night!
Before it melts away!
...

When the Lord God Almighty
fashioned His first spirit creatures,
they each shone with gold and silver light,
radiating pure energy as fierce as the sun.
