Denis Martindale Poems

I want to write a dynamite poem,
one that'll blow their brains out,
one that'll leave them open-mouthed,
not breathing in, not breathing out,
...

I recently wanted to console someone,
who was suffering from jealousy...
...

They display the vastness of space,
they create a dark dynamic tapestry,
they sparkle like a baby's eyes,
they shine like distant pearls,
...

Write something that touches your heart,
Then share it and touch another heart,
That heart can share it with another heart
And that's just a part of the start...
...

If, as poets, we set the words free,
it's only because we captured them first,
dragged them from dictionaries,
sploshed them ink-wise upon each page,
...

The moon stays constant in the sky,
Reflecting sunshine here,
As little children ask God why
The moonbeams seem so clear...
...

Life serves as a reminder that when I love you,
it doesn't mean that you love me...
and despite what seemed like a good start,
a bad ending is sometimes just around the corner.
...

Happiness isn't happiness unless it is shared.

It's like having a secret love, then being told,
...

Alysia, while hope burns bright,
Let confidence excel,
You choose to walk within the light,
So that your life goes well...
...

Two tigers roared with utmost glee,
Their Winter games to play,
Alive and simply glad to be,
No matter, come what may...
...
