Gerry Legister Poems

O love delay, wherever you are?
I was searching for you in vain
You are the only thing I am waiting for
To take away this aching pain.
...

The pledges to bang up freedom
May have no surprises to the guilty,
But destiny offers a sure path to everyone,
To show less is a debt we owe humanity.
...

There stood before me is a familiar exploit,
With fantasise in pictures of my desire?
The anxiety of joy running astonishingly hot,
Uncontrollable embers launched into fire.
...

Tempted and tried you want to follow,
The things that everyone does.
But you are plague with sorrow,
Of your tragic past comes and goes.
...

Always ready to listen, without making judgment,
you have been supportive when I am feeling alone.
Whenever I call, you're available when I am in need;
you become the shoulder I can lean upon for help.
...

They come back almost losing shirt and shoe,
Breathe glow in flames of sports and laughter,
When it is still too hot to tell mother a joke or two,
They delight themselves in their usual manner.
...

An hour after been at the church,
with others standing who was sad,
I did not know they cared so much,
as others saw; the blessings I had.
...

Betrayal is more difficult to define,
You can see the trouble it cause,
We may find it even if our manners are fine,
And still not rest until given justice.
...

At first I had my doubt, that crossed with mystery,
Yet I hold you dear, to listened the words you say,
you never said them clear, but you said them differently,
So when you’re not there, I hear them breathe silently.
...

I’ll miss you, when you have gone missing
From my heart, and I hear only the hissing sigh,
Leaping gently out of the air with mourning,
And lament from the void inside of me.
...
