John McCaffrey Poems

someone singing
in the distance, a faceless hunger
a place where we once memorized each other
beguiled by reckless words
...

into nothingness, sunny days forgotten
faint heart of generations passed I no longer see thee
your mantle of dreams remembered from end to beginning, retreats
tenderly your voice whispered its mortality
...

stay with me
you subtle thief of twilight blossom
persuade me, divine eternity
with semblances of broken dance
...

blessed art thou
silent beating heart
scattered amongst ruins on your Island of water
look not back in sorrow
...
