Justin Gildow Poems

Here in Tampa Bay
Memories come flooding back
The waves that crash upon the shore add to the feelings of nostalgia
The sun does its job hanging in the sky
...

From my childhood and now to adulthood
I always knew when to expect you
I always knew when you'd come around
Because you're a part of my lifetime
...

After an hour or 2 of giving you a face and a smile
And for all intents and purposes that I've brought you to life
I'm more than happy to call you mine
I'm more than proud to claim you as mine
...

I walk on the dirt path
Glancing at the flowers as I pass them by
As well as passing by the many cabins
The sun is shining and there's not a cloud in the sky
...

Climbing a ladder
It keeps going all the way into space
Yet I keep climbing
An urge continues to tell me to do so
...

Sing for me girls
Play for me girls

These days I've learned anything is possible
...

The stars are out but the sky is dark
Things in the city are hanging in the balance
Now that the demons have arrived
Having been sent by their master
...

Standing with you on the bridge
Underneath is a short jump down
Underneath are railroad tracks
Underneath is our ticket to Lahja
...

The Weeping Mask rises from the ground
Up to the ceiling
And begins to circle around
...

It's been a long journey so far
And yet, so far, every step of the way
I've had to deal with minions of the undead
Whether in the sheer torture of the night
...
