Lanton Shelby Poems

The breaking light—to start the day,
My mind, a fog of thoughts not gone away,
The brisk air brushes my face, I open my eyes,
These dreams, I’m sure will be my own demise,
...

My life is reminiscent of an elevator,
Alone in the corner I stand,
In solitude the changes are subtle,
Through the ups and downs,
...

The truth which I have held so close,
Afraid to share for all these years,
This thought I wish I did not bear,
Hides deep inside my makeshift heart,
...

I’m here to tell you the truth my dear,
A truth left hidden, for many a year,
It all began with a look in your eyes,
A beauty unrivaled by the bluest skies,
...

A Walk in His shoes

What I would give to walk in your shoe,
To have the girl who’s in love with you,
...
