GREENWOLFE 1962 Poems

'Gee, you're looking good today'.
I said as I looked down.
He winked a bit and slightly smiled,
But never made a sound.
...

I set myself a task today,
To write of pain in rhyme.
Of the love I lost so long ago,
Remembered for all time.
...

My Old Friend

Well old friend, it's come to this,
As I thought it might someday.
...

I mark the road before you,
As I do every day.
I'm sure you've never noticed
My signs along the way.
...

The love that fate, in humor,
May grant a younger heart.
Will keep it pure and wholesome,
Though It's been torn apart.
...

I made a mark beside her name,
Just trying to keep score.
If she keeps talking on, I thought,
She'll earn herself some more.
...

You kissed my knee so softly then
And pressed it to your breast.
And then you turned your head to me
And laid it there to rest.
...

I saw you prancing in the dark.
You seemed to have such joy.
My father brought you home that day,
And said you weren't a toy.
...

I write today of living,
My years of loving you.
I take note of my passing,
A milestone, one or two.
...

It's time I stood and spoke of war,
A candid speech display.
To tell you things you used to know;
Forgotten, on the way.
...
