Gary Diamond Poems

By invitation only.
The doorman has been given specific instructions.
He yields for no reason.
...

I didn't go much on school.
I didn't meet many people that did.
Because although I learned my lessons well
Above average,
...

Heavy headed the world looks good
Things are moving along just as they should.
Heavy handed the wrong way to play it
Don't hold it back just come right out
...

Only in a woman's loving arms does doubt distinctively dissolve.
With this kind of notion, once more I resolve
That when again one of them comes along
I'll pay a little more attention
...

Simple.
Streamlined.
Uncluttered.
No nonsense given
...

I look longingly at the stars
That is when all else is dim enough
To acknowledge their promise.

It's amazing what men have done in the name of love.
It's staggering that we got anything else done
For the want of it
For the size of it
...

How much is too soon?
How much is enough?
When do we have to slaughter the jobs
And get back to the basics
...

I've always liked that word.
Saying it conjures up great images of the uncertain
The path trod by many
But only completed by a select few.
