Jimmie Arrington Poems

I saw an angel today,
Or so my eyes believe.
In my head I see the way
She walked with perfect sway,
...

Somewhere between here and there,
Somewhere between blink and stare,
Somewhere between wise and fool,
Somewhere between exception and rule,
...

My limbs are freezing,
But my feet keep walking.
My lungs are wheezing,
I’ll write ‘stead of talking.
...

We pressed play and all night long
Guessed which person sang which song;
One of our many blissful lulls.
In my truck we’d listen, laugh and love,
...

I swore with all my heart that I
Would always try, ever fight.
I swore I’d never say goodbye,
Yet here I am tonight.
...

There you stood against the rail
And I stood close behind.
So in love my heart could fail,
With my arms around you entwined.
...

Imagine I were a bright flower
Waking in the dawning hour,
Soaked with morning dew.
If I were a bright flower,
...

I have tons of hopes to attain,
Aspirations to imbue.
I have tons of hopes to obtain,
But will I obtain them with you?
...

May I be your jacket
That shapes your shiv’ring form
And fights the bitter cold?
May I be your winter gloves
...

When will the sky take me up?
When will the dream bubbles pop?
When will rain fill my empty cup
To the brim, to the very top?
...
