Dolan Doran Poems

walking away..trying to clear my thoughts.
a stranger walks up, a look of knowing on his face.
'May I'? he asks, gesturing out.
I nod, , keep walking.
...

I see in your eyes the truth
yet u persist that what you say is real;
I can smell it on you breath;
the scent of moonshine.
...

Sitting, listening, thinking;
A man talking about nonsense;
Needing something.
Yearning … for what?
...

you pour the wine,
we took a drink.
The strike of a match;
a cigarette.
...

we sat on the porch that day,
talking and talking.
you begged and pleaded
and still i cried.
...

Walking with you,
city lights bright as day,
Christmas eve. Snow falling,
Covering up, Painting,
...

How long has it been?
Do you remember?
I can’t recall how long…
How long I cried,
...

you said you loved me,
words I hear every day.
But for some reason
unknown
...

“let’s start over” he says.
We shake hands, I laugh.
How do you forget love?
How can you no look
...

we went out, had some fun.
it went to far, yet not far enough
to give me release...
to let me finish.
...
