JAMES T. ADAIR Poems

A young father loved his little boy
His mother loved him too
The took joy in him and nurtured him
and watched him as he grew
...

Today my heart is filled with happiness
for the kindness that you brought
To know that my care mattered to you much
That I am missed by you such
...

I feel you suddenly pull away
As if I've commited a crime
You say you love me always
But your insecurity gets in the way
...

Love is like a cool breeze on a hot day
That touches the heart
Impossible not to feel
It touches you from the start
...

I'm in a room of mirrors
like something from a carnival or a dream
I see my many reflections
and I hear no voice from my lips
...

You say you love me
I guess I know its true
Because you sing to me
and my heart feels it too
...

You knelt beside me
I felt your fingers stroke my back
In soothing shapes you drew
of your heart's own design
...

The dog dashes through the hall
like a flash, feet slipping the floor and all
Her ears flopping, head cropping forward
as she intently chases the bouncing ball
...

My what you can do with words
You have a talent it is true
What expressiveness
To capture a feeling
...

The ocean is dying
the fish are crying
The seven seas are churning
turning oil brown and black
...
