JAMES T. ADAIR Poems

Love lost it's shine
Love once so fine
Passed it's prime
Love stopped on a dime
...

Found a large wounded butterfly yesterday
beautiful in it's yellow and rainbow colors
Still alive, struggling frantically with broken wing
Carefully, sadly, placed it among the bright flowers
...

In a flicker of first brilliant morning light
Reflected off the broken shade of passion
Split by the prism of remote possibility
Passed through the molecules that line my heart
...

Life
Will be over in a blink
Never be afraid
To chance
...

The man
Who has not died
A few times
Along the way
...

Tomorrow
Is a flower bud
Poised to unfurl
As the morning dew
...

Love is a beautiful thing
whatever form it comes in
Love is a feeling in your heart
That makes you smile
...

Madonna upon the tea rose painted plaster wall
you faithfully weathered and lived it all
you with your halo and glaze of shiny white
your bleached robes reflecting the flourescent light
...

When romance becomes a game
it loses its honesty and it's attraction
yet I never felt anything more sincere
than your unspoken affection
...

We
We miss
We're missing
so much of life
...
