M.L. Squier Poems

AS BRIEF AS A DRAGONFLY'S REPOSE
[James Russell Lowell]

What does it mean when a
...

There is A Fear
of Walking Out
Without Leaving
Any Golden Footsteps.
...

Dedicated to God


O sweet coffee
...

I want to write a poem
About blue oceans
And blue skies
Or blue eyes
...

It is so true about love,
About you and me,
Like roses we bloom, we die,
We flee-
...

I wonder have you ever been beside a river?
I would like to be there with you
Any spring or darkest winter
Will brightest fall
...

Your house is a palace
Of hope above fear
Love before hatred
Freedom after slavery
...

Tonight I want to live in New York City in a
Small apartment or big condo with a big view
Of Central Park I want to go to Big Sur and
Watch the waves pummel my body and live in
...

The dark rook came into the steel-colored
Cold town one early morning in a month in the
Future before fires of stars had melted into
Oneness with the flames of the next sunrise
...

Yesterday the rain came before we saw it
In the stars it was already here and now
There is no umbrella with me to shield these
Tears no one with me to say it is raining on
...
