Justin Reamer Poems

I walk along the trees,
In the sweet summer,
When all is warm and bright,
And all creatures sing in the distance,
...

I am Jean Valjean,
A former thief
And a former scoundrel
Who has become a benefactor
...

I notice a man walking
With a swagger
And a keen look in his eye
And a smirk as long as a banana,
...

I look outside my window,
And see nothing on the ground,
Yet it is very cold,
And the snow is not here,
...

To what love do we owe,
With our lives in this place,
When the sky is white as snow,
Where I can't see your face?
...

Shall I compare thee to a warm summer's day?
Thou art more beautiful and more temperate;
Thou art the flower of May,
Which blooms far more than I am desperate,
...

I guess I am meaningless to you,
Especially in your beautiful eyes,
For I may seem untrue,
As every flower in nature dies,
...

Celibacy is something I can live with,
Especially as I move on in life,
And 'tis something I can chance with,
For I say away with strife,
...

Waters rush against the shore,
Making me swoon with happiness,
Thinking of your great mirth,
And how great you are,
...

Whether we know it or not,
We are always asleep,
Unaware of the true potential we have,
For we are sucked into a mode of normalcy,
...
