Justin Gildow Poems

I'm approaching you from below
With my hand in the air
I'm ready to hand this night over to you
If that's alright with you
...

Golden sunny afternoon
Running through the grassy fields
Nothing chaining me down
Days like this, I feel free
...

Smiles for many on this Saturday
As kids and adults alike head for Sweet Willows Creamery

I take my place in line
...

Some are gypsies and beggars
Some are commoners and royalty
Some run throughout the shire
Some pull up a chair and take in the view
...

The castle is near
All we have to do to get there is a jaunt through the courtyard

Keep your weapons at the ready
...

Darkness always finds a way to creep into my soul
Always finding a way to consume me whole
When and where if love ever comes
I'll lie in wait
...

I swear I can see through you
I can see your whole life
Your whole world
Right straight through your eyes
...

From a distance
I see the gypsies carrying the maypole
They stand and set up
And I make my way over to participate and join in with them
...

Gathering by the pub
We fill up our glasses and mugs
From water, from soda, to ale
A lady in the distance lifts up her veil
...

Washed ashore on a deserted island
I wake up and look around me
There's just me, my backpack, this island, and the sea
...
