Jim Milks Poems

Over there by the coffee shop
where one day I perchance did stop
I saw a girl as cute as can be
she made me tremble when she reached above my knee
...

Rain is falling from the sky
like tears of the ancient gods
ripples in a pond
...

green leaves on the trees
flower petals float on past
springtime once again
...

Youth is wasted on the young
And this life is all so brief
It is over before it has even begun
Stolen away by time like a thief
...

There was a young man from Liverpool
Who was such a great fool
He thought it was fine
To drink a bottle of turpentine
...

Ocean waves arrive
Rocks crashing into the sea
Comment on the world
...

The summer sun moves across the sky in a gentle caress
A thousand flower petals dance in the air
Oh Fate! Thou art an evil mistress
Bringing into this peaceful place such despair
...

Time is the master of all
Mountains fade to nothingness
Cliffs crumble into sea
...

I have been knocked down every day
Since my first day of school
Picked on, laughed at
Even called a fool
...

I never knew love before
Until from across a crowded room I saw
A vision of someone that I could adore
I felt my heart melt and thaw
...
