Jim Milks Poems

Breath is an icy fog
Ponds are a reflective sheet
Winter wonderland
...

Shadows in the dark
Sound of a single heartbeat
Living Loneliness
...

See the young man that became president
Even though is lack of experience was evident
He came along to preach
And people believed his flowery speech
...

Rain falls from the sky
Droplets dance upon the cold ground
Tears of the Angels
...

An amber river
Flows from a crystal palace
Alcoholic dreams
...

I am the guardian of forever, the keeper of tomorrows
The echo of the past, and protector of sorrows
I remember everyone that has come before
All that have step in and out of my door
...

Please lie to me tonight
Tell me you loved me from the start
Say you will be there in the morning light
And not crush my heart
...

Why don’t you love me like you use to
When everything was fresh and new
When love was a burning fire
And we were each others one desire
...

I ride the same streets of my home town
Past ole’ Mrs. Brown
And her wall where we would sit
All summer right through the fall
...

I turned forty-three today
Time to put my childhood away
My eyes are weak,
My bones creak and my knees ache
...
