John Whitfield Poems

... see your words
verbal manifestation of thoughts
portraits painted with syllables
of sensuous simile and meaningful metaphor
...

I admit, I'm over you, but we can still be friends.

I gave my all, my body, soul -
my very mind -
...

I threw some words together
like nets into the water
to catch you – or someone like you –
unaware
...

Beacon light
syllable sea
casting beams
hearts and coffin nails
...

Black flat screen in front of me
shows my bleak future
