Justin Gildow Poems

In the shire
Flowers are in the arms of a thousand maidens
Yet they smile
And little stars form in their eyes
...

It's midnight in Kaipo
And I can't sleep
So after walking around my room a bit to feel more awake
I grab my nighttime clothes and put them on
...

The world is full of dreamers
As well as wishers
Seeing the way of life the way it is in their hands
Always to some extent ready to understand
...

On this night
I'll walk you home
The night has arrived
And the stars in the sky appear to be aligned
...

On a cloudy afternoon
I drove quite a distance
But I did it to see you
I told you I was coming
...

Beaten to death
Both physically and mentally
You brave this cold winter's night
You do your best to keep warm
...

It's been a long way for me to travel
Hour upon hour
But I'm here
Here at last
...

Locked up in a cell
The prisoners of war light the fuse to the dynamite
The door is blasted off the hinges
The prisoners of war escape through the opening where the door was
...

As we sit in complete darkness
As we sit in complete silence
Side by side, and in love
With my arm around your waist
...

The sun shines through my window
And it's that time agains that I know
I wake up, get out of bed, take a shower
After that, breakfast waits for me
...
