Denis Martindale Poems

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.
...

Well, hello, there, fellow poet,
Though Writer's Block holds sway,
You've still time, before you know it,
I know, you'll seize the day!
...

I saw the poetry walking towards my house,
Then straight up to my door,
I got down the stairs in time,
I let the poetry in and I offered some coffee...
...

Her soul is filled up to the brim
With sadness, so bereft,
Quite deep in thoughts that are of him,
As God's Crusaders left...
...

While poets come and poets go
And faithless lovers, too,
There yet abides this truth I know,
This poet's heart loves you...
...
