James Timothy Jarrett Poems

Far from my mind

You came to visit me.
...

Love of my soul

I see you now only in my dreams
...

Grind, grind, click
Deep and metallic
Positive
The sear engages the hammer.
...

Oblivion, oblivion, hope of the damned.

Your dark waters lap incessantly at the
...

Sunset softly fading in bloody hues of red

Soul slipping silently, body falling dead
...

I wear sorrow as a shroud

A grey and tattered garment
...

I stood upon a mountain top and breathed the

ethereal air and watched the lofty dreams of
...

My beloved I shall be with you, for I am the daughter of many who came here for this sweet privilege known as freedom. I love you. I feel safe with you as my husband. If need be my blood will mingle with yours in protecting the future of this nation. Never kneel nor bend for one extra second of my life; For if that day comes I am complicit in all that you do.So I say I was proud to have loved a man who loved his nation as much as he loved his wife.
...

My only regret will be
If I have to leave her behind
That love
That I love more than myself
...

I try to write
But my words
Stumble and trip
Drunk within my brain
...
