John Powers Poems

Juggernaut clouds and a lake of boiling silver under a setting sun,
the veils of rain fall

a curious girl on the shore of a dream, her hair buffeted,
...

Why I do not follow
you may never know
but it's only cetain
where my path will go
...

the light, which is blessed to touch your skin
is stolen by my awed eyes
I could call you by name, by my voice waivers
to define such beauty is to imprison it
...

It rained today
sudden with blowing wind
I breathed in the cool, wet
autumn air
...

AS THE STREET LIGHTS STAB THE BELLY OF THE DAWN
the darkness winces in stars flicker
but the leaves grow green greedy
to possess the fleeting night
...

If I knew
I'd be going away
today
if I knew
...

all i've got to say is i love you
and that means nothing
all i want is to know you
but i never will
...

It's dark in here
the light by sunset
fading quickly now
without a regret
...

the sun comes in on the slant
as the day turns on
the sky twinkling in the sea of leaves
the silhouetted trees no longer
...

bounce bounce
cling tight
the wind has more
for tonight
...
