Gerry Legister Poems

After night manna entwined the morning
We awake to the finest sound of language,
Continental breakfast is the first meal taken,
Bridge the gap between hunger and courage.
...

When friends have gone, memories shall not,
Be unkind as the fragrant flowers that fade,
With vast images moving hands and foot,
And sinking through into where grief reside.
...

I was not there in time to say farewell,
Or hold you so close to love, till my heart tires,
I was too late when I came, anguish had already fell,
And hoist the pain to smear the sum of fears.
...

Some thought they met God, and good relations
But divine paradise requires greater expectation,
Than the zeal men preach when they have an itch,
They travel a road not paved with good intentions,
...

Day will be darkness and not light,
It will be as though rattled birthright fled,
In waterfall woeful darkness greet,
The persecuted day that was once good.
...

From the lower clouds gently falls
A soft spring rain rejuvenating the air,
Descend from the sky small miracle
That we believed renew the atmosphere.
...

Behind the painted smiles
We traveled the world for many miles,
In search of fantasy and missing paradise,
Each person will make their own choice.
...

Time mocks me simply
Because I often pray
To meet the beautiful but fearful day
...

Every sixty seconds spent waiting,
On the reality to obtain promises,
Could be a minute of inheritance gone?
Never to come back and take chances.
...

I have taken another a breath
since we last spoke
And I have given birth
Unveiling a new life to earth
...
