James McLain Poems

In the annals of time, a tale untold,
Resides the slavery loop hole, bold.
Within the Constitution, revered and strong,
Lurks a dark verse, where justice went wrong.
...

In our world of enigmatic beauty,
Where humanity dances with grace,
A tapestry woven, diverse and free,
A masterpiece, called the human race.
...

Here is where dreams entwine,
Beneath the stars' celestial bloom,
There I stand, beneath the sign,
Overwhelmed by the man in the moon.
...

A tale unfolds with trembling stride.
Will Russia's might, like thunder's roar,
Unleash a storm on Ukraine's shore?
...

In laughter's sweet embrace, innocence blooms,
Where hearts dance freely, dispelling all glooms.
Within life's tapestry, a thread so pure,
A child's spirit, forever to endure.
...

In the depths of my weary soul, I ponder,
Upon the choices made and paths forsaken.
A wistful whisper echoes, a song of wonder,
Of the road I did not take, now left unawakened.
...

I wander through deep sleep where dreams come true.
My heart, a vessel longing to pursue,
Transforming into echoes of your view.
...

Boundaries define,
Edges that shape our limits,
Freedom within bounds.
...

If you don't play the game, the game plays you,
In the world of politics, it rings true.
With power and influence, they all vie,
A constant battle beneath the sky.
...

Do not go gentle into the good night,
Where shadows dance, and darkness takes its flight.
Embrace the fire that burns within your soul,
Let passion guide you as you reach your goal.
...
