Jimmie Arrington Poems

Twice upon a midnight blue,
I found a jelly bean.
I chewed as fast as I could chew,
It tasted sweet and green.
...

Like a painter without a canvas,
Like a pirate without a ship,
Like a “goodnight” without a kiss,
A passionate lover without a lip,
...

There’s a hush upon the kingdom,
A stillness within every mind.
Silent lips are dry and numb,
All eyes are glazed and blind.
...

No, I don't love her anymore,
I've already closed that door.
I don't care what she might say
Or exactly why she couldn't stay.
...

Wake up
The view has changed somehow
The wall no longer divides
Wake up
...

Memories are like pictures in
The photo albums of your brain.
Although you can’t go back again,
Images of the past remain.
...

You clean dishes and sweep the floors.
You cook dinner and wash my drawers.
You take good care baby Jude
And calm me when I come unglued.
...

Her laugh is like a melody,
A composition to my ears,
A soft, yet vibrant symphony
Which casts away my fears.
...

Oh, Dear Moon, how can it be
That thou art further than my Love from me
And still thy pleasant glow I see,
Still thy face shines brilliantly?
...

I’m not sure where you are, I don’t know where you’ve been.
Who knows and who can tell if I’ll ever see you again.
...
