JAMES T. ADAIR Poems

A candle burned bright
So bright it melted it's wax
And drowned it's own flame
--
...

Silence
makes my heart break
Silence
Love, does not make
...

The Ants
They're pretty organized and smart
The perform with scripted precision
Turn work into an art
...

There is a crescent moon
and a gentle spring breeze this night
stars seem to sparkle lower in the sky this late evening
the ring of dead silence
...

Love is unafraid to speak
Love is bold
Love is Truth
Love perseveres
...

Dancing on steel strings
Where other's have danced before
I can't help feel something
in their movement, or fingers; more
...

Curve softly toward me
softly curve away
satin smoothness
Milky Way
...

You said 'my sister is beautiful'
As if to say 'Far more beautiful than me'
And saying so you brushed away
The true sentiment that came from me
...

I sat with my little grandaughter
a sweet little girl, almost 4
and told her a story
that I recalled telling once before
...
