JAMES T. ADAIR Poems

We found him in the courtyard
Facing the sun
Head down
Appearing feeble and weak and grey
...

I walked past 101 and 102
Empty rooms
I peeked in but didn't see you
I hated that feeling
...

Don't bother knocking
He doesn't live here anymore
I saw him check the mail just before
Yes, but he's gone, he shut the door
...

Princess
Your poems are not the attraction
just a fraction
It's your care
...

We take something from everybody
This secret is this:
To strive to give back more
To give from the heart
...

I'm going back
I'm going back
to the other side of the tracks
I tried to be something I wasn't
...
