Dennis Lambert Poems

Horizons are distant,
The ocean is vast,
The sky stretches out,
Too far above the mast.
...

I want to be in your kitchin’
When it’s hot and hoppin’
And you’re bewitchin’
Lids to start a poppin’:
...

a gypsy
violin,
bereft of
case or bow,
...

Nothing’s more precious than a listening friend.
I’ve cried to canyons great, but echoes lose the words I send.
I’ve shouted to the seas, and breakers only muffle me.
And hurricanes howl to the soul that whispers secretly.
...

Love
Like a flower
Blooms
And then
...

He was a prince of the city.

His smooth white Charger
Slid like quick silver
...

I wrote you a love letter today,
So much flowed from me, the way

the river runs in early spring,
...

Where is the land i knew so well-
The rolling hills of green?
'Twas it but a memory,
A quickly fading dream.
...

Cannibals caught me,
And they put me in a pot.
I boiled all night long
And after fifty pounds were lost
...

I met her in the moonlight beside the willow tree,
‘Twas there she loosed her hair and set it gently free,
Flowing soft with a scented breeze, drifting in the night,
She was a dream whose beauty paled the lunar light.
...
