Lento Maez Poems

What greater gift can one give
To another other than to say
...

Enter and pretend my friend
That poetry will never end

Our special words move others
...

Don’t cancel my life
Yes, I’ve had some strife
I’ve tried to do good
Never in a bad mood
...

The sand and the sea
Too often beckoned me
The allure of the unknown
Just begging to be known
...

An ancient alien knocked on my door
I peeked through the window to see
Could there be more
...

Awake at dawn
Searching for happy dreams
...

He stole her love
A few minutes at a time
Unbeknownst to her
He returned that love
...

Contained in this world
Are hopes and dreams
Of what could be and
What might be seen
...

Trials and tribulations signify who we are
Begotten not made by a comet or star

Whispering willows from afar
...

A sly wind whispered my name
It came out as a musical refrain
I curiously followed it about
Just hoping that it would shout
...
