Justin Gildow Poems

In the dungeon
Spiked traps fall in intervals from above
Poison also drips from above
Chains and dead prisoner's bones rattle
...

The sun's on our side for the time being
As we sit in shallow water
I can see your fins and tail
And I'm wet from sitting in the shallow
...

Enjoying the pepperoni pizza slices from the pizza box
Guzzling one orange soda after another
We're wired for tonight
So let's rock
...

Tonight's the night for you all to shine
Tonight's the night for me to see the young at heart

Songs that spin many around and around
...

Many kids run through the grass
Playing whatever game they've chosen

Passing them by
...

Springtime's in the air
The sun beats down from above
The grass has grown
The flowers have arrived
...

Knowing you both like you know me
You both see me standing around
Having all the time in the world with me today
...

One of these nights
I'll light all my candles
While reading poetry in my apartment
As well as adding a mystical fragrance from some kind of rare incense
...

Walking by
It's nighttime out here
Elvis Costello and the Attractions are performing ' Everyday I Write The Book ' on my Ipod
It's been a great day so far
...

Stars are looking out for us both
As we're alone in the night

We walk together
...
