James McLain Poems

'Ruby' Red Eyes
and knowing how words are mixed.
you have an advantage over males.
being so much so.
...

Mad Was I, But You
and balmy salve on that cut.
Rolls and rolls of gauze, I replace
Sunday morning when it opens, I look.
...

Love, my 'Hope' In One Life;
and when not if,
it must have come upon me.
Lost in you, held in me, your heart.
...

and a thief rose among men
and further down was dis honesty
within that bed stood less charity
and massed the public wore hoods.
...

Each breeze and gentle soul
lays within reposed,
and linens 'Regal' lace
doth move no more.
...

We are not friends
because of the friends
we share
But because you dared.
...

Look After Love,
Deep,
In your eyes, my look upon your face.
More than friends, that we were.
...

l

Hold my face and love me, 'dear',
Floating down between twin peaks;
...

They were there..
to keep...
and one of them..
is mine...
...

Chilly the air and foggy my breath,
looking down,
as I walk up the path of this steep hill
winding around, back and forth,
...
