JAMES T. ADAIR Poems

Tell me your heart's tale
I'll set down and listen
And if you get teary and feel frail
I'll kiss away your dark tears that glisten
...

Today in church
I had come to me a sign
I couldn't help noticing
even if I was trying
...

It does no good to write
It does less good to say
but my heart wishes somehow
it could fly away
...

You're like a whisper in the wind
I feel you gently blow
I open my window to let you in
Your everything, all of you I wish to know
...

When someone makes your heart flutter
You can't help it
that it melts like butter
Its just your heart speaking
...

If I should fail
If I should lose all face
If my family turns from me
If my heart breaks
...

At the break of the morning light
at the razors edge between dark and light
he holds her closely and shield her from the cold
And quietly this way his affection is told
...

There is a void I feel today
an emptiness, far deeper than before
I feel it in each silent moment
and my heart feels but cannot comment
...

The world is cold
But it feels warmer when you're here
The world is cluttered
But you make it a little more clear
...

The young regard the old
with necessary suspicion
but if the young knew
what the old have felt
...
