Jim Milks Poems

A human soul is like the new fallen snow
Fresh and clean and all aglow
But time and the world can turn it dark and grey
Until the time when it just melts away
...

Warmth and comfort
Hear a sigh of contentment
The heart of a home
...

They sat around in the boardroom smoking their big cigars
“Gentlemen we have to save these bonuses of ours”
We need to tighten the belt, and cut the fat
Now it is time to step up to the bat
...

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day
Ha, no that is not the best way
This is a modern age and time
And I can’t win you with that tired old rhyme
...

Please take my heart away from me
For I have no use for it any more
Take it away and, set me free
Release my pain and let me soar
...

sweet and tart combine
colors blend and meld as one
metaphor for life
...

Woke to the alarm clock a screaming
Pulling my away from all of my dreaming
the morning sun is hazy and grey, telling me it’s
Time to start my day: everyday seems just the same
...

In the midst of a primeval wood where the silence surrounds
you like a thick familiar blanket. There I the lone traveler stood
by a meandering old wall of stone and a lazy flowing stream
...

See my bald head on the rise
When it shows it is always a surprise
Appears when he is unwanted
And continues undaunted
...

Standing alone in a sea of stone with a silent tear in my eye
Haunted by the echoes of the past, of the lives that will no longer be
Pain will come and pain will go, but love shall always last
Standing alone with the scent of spring in the air
...
