James McLain Poems

Lifting her up looking down
At the smile on my face.
Her shade of breath,
as I blow.
...

Under the green bamboo tree.
Sharp are its leaves and hard knuckled.
I sleep the warm dreamless sleep.
Covered underneath by loose blue snow.
...

Ether youz out back youndera sumwaze.
Ey shet a coon skinner then all get out.
Sounz carey a fur distance distance hear?
Fetch this fetch thet sidown an rest a spell.
...

Her fine jaw and high cheekbones.
Surrounded by blue eye's,
that match the cloudless sky.
The long gracefull neck it all rests upon.
...

Gay men.
Still I refuse them.
Florida claims being humid and moist.
Open hope for all I am not.
...

To the vain handsom people.
To the arrogant they are many.
To those whom are to ugly and poor.
Because someone lacks,
...

Money, greed and hate.
To love this life I thought most would.
Children think naive and so do I.
Inherent bonds of matrimonial.
...

Many soundless feet come near.
When loving you,
I lost all love for me.
And moon lit waves as leaves fall down.
...

I cannot change the past.
Only the future.
I can't sit by the window,
and wait for you to make
...

Amongst the throngs death has parlayed,
I must pay attention fine lovely art.
In ancient times a cold stone morgue it usually was.
Not cold marble steps ascending into.
...
