Jim Milks Poems

The greedy beast does
Devour life, to create life
Life, death born in fire
...

The young girl with lots of time
Who would do most anything for a dime
Her virtue was sold
And her body grew old
...

A gentle patter upon my windowpane
Calling out to me come be a child again
The call of the warm summer rain
Invades my peaceful domain
...

I have taken some time to work
out for her a lovely rhyme
to write it down and put pen to paper
and scratch out a line for this crazy caper
...

Hi Mom and Dad;

I stopped by your house today; it has been a long time that I have been away.
I walked past the iron gates of sorrows, dreaming of the countless tomorrows, stepped past the neighbors standing stone silent, past the flames that burn in the night right to the angel wings frozen in flight.
...

Wandering through a New England wood,
I chance upon a meandering stonewall
Cutting across the land,
I wondered how long it had stood
...

Life awakening
Flower opens in the sun
A world is reborn
...

Black clouds in the sky
Desperation fills a heart
Broken hearted man
...

Sitting on the edge of forever,
trying to decide what to do
I could leave here forever
But darling, I still love you
...

Spring has come and gone to summer,
Summer’s warm glow has given way to
Fall’s colors and cool nights, and now
Winter wraps her icy arms about us all
...
