Jim Milks Poems

From a cavern dark where the dragon sleeps
To a castle keep where the maiden weeps
Far form hearth and home
I shall search for you
...

Oh Speedy! Oh Speedy!
My herpetological friend
My thoughts are on your quiet understanding
On which I so depended
...

From far away across the sea
in the darkness of the ocean deep
there in a dreamless sleep
he waits
...

Solitary soul
Wandering a path alone
Forever searching
...

I remember sunny days walking in the park
And careful fumbling in the dark.

I remember birds in flight flying free across the sky
...

Truly how long ago was 1984,
twenty-five years by the calendar,
no less no more
the past is an island with a deserted shore
...

Truly how long ago was 1984,
twenty-five years by the calendar,
no less no more
...

Blank empty faces
in quiet desperation
Employment office
...

Did you ever wonder how it feels to have your life drain away
To See it spill out upon the floor.

Did you ever wonder how you would decide to
...

I wander as a drifting cloud,
Aimless through a gathering crowd
Freed from the bonds, that had held me fast.
The present, future and the past
...
