Gordon Merritt Poems

Grey blue is my world
Colors of my dreams
looking into me
Like reflections in a stream
...

Think of every love song
that ever touched your heart
Put them down on paper
and select the sweetest parts
...

Tis sad, words to far and distant to be heard
Sentiment of a bygone era, to faint to hear but for the chosen few
Too few now to be counted and I fear too soon gone.
...

I think that all the angels
In heaven up above
Must know that one has left them
For she's my one true love
...

Grey skies turn to crystal blue
Each time I see your face
Your lilting voice is softer
Than the finest silk and lace
...

If suddenly the stars stopped shining
and the sun left the sky
I would not miss them.
...

As long as men have eyes
There will be someone to adore you
For the beauty of your face is
like the setting sun as it kisses the water
...

Late at night
as I look into the heavens
I feel a gentle breeze stir
and I breathe in your dreams
...

Perfection…
wrapped in a silken cocoon
Oh how I await the beauty that emerges
when the silken cocoon is shed
...

Lips quiver
fingers
softly trail
shivers
...
