Jimmie Arrington Poems

Teresa dear, you were wrong.
I thought that you should know.
Unless you knew all along
The way that things would go.
...

“I feel so little. Please, hold me tight, ”
An angel speaks to me.
Why do I have to work tonight?
I should be with Amalie.
...

Come hard times, come days of war
Come violence in the street,
Fall tears from eyes red and sore
On the brink of defeat.
...

Here we sit in each others clutch,
Beside the lake, beneath the moon.
We’re miles from the cities touch,
Loving nature’s peaceful tune.
...

It’s almost too hard to believe,
Too difficult to conceive
Someone as brilliant as you.
Is this a dream, an illusion, a trance
...

Just when I thought the end was near,
When all life’s color mixed with fear
And reason and logic became unclear,
A hand was lent to me.
...

Where ever you walk you leave a trail,
A path showing where you’ve been.
Should you get lost, you’ve got a tail
That will lead you back again.
...

And get lost in your head,
What ideas would I find?
What words would be said?
...

The surprises rarely rest.
I have questions to be raised
(And issues to be addressed)
...

The night is all but hushed and still,
The day seems years away.
I step outside in the winter chill
And let the stars wash off the day.
...
