James McLain Poems

Being humble but men, women bore,
Out from the grass and trees we walked.
Hope was but a seed in men their fear but
Hope there was.
...

Tell me did you ever know, how much I loved you,
Did you may I ask, how long ago and did you love me back.
The ocean from one side is mile's apart and in our youth
We were not as like that in year's apart.
...

Attorney Ambrose,
This will be my last attempt to have you see reason concerning, myself
and my daughter, Caroline.
...

For over ten years
I have posted here under the name of
is it poetry and a few other names now lost
And lost to time
...

When the wall is falling in towards you grab a gun.
There is no fun in being hurt by those corrupt that have
Never cared and never will about you.
...

To many of u.s. wait twenty or thirty years,
To fight through the shame or the power they will
Use against u.s.
...

Looking at people who are damaged in different ways,
As a mirror that is dropped, broken never the same though a few try.
Broken the pieces that are all there, never can fit as once before.
Impulsive though we are directed by some into the wall knowing
...

The after life while living alive is filled with the essence
Of you,
Burning hot I have lived and in death I have walked the sun.
Leaving life have you laughed and cried with both as one?
...

Memories slip and fade and slide away.
Faces I knew once come again.
Cloudy eye's give way to the wrinkles.
Goodbye as they speak at my grave.
...

I see them almost daily.
Where ever I go.
More than one chin hangs down beneath me.
If I let it grow.
...
