Martin Kloess Poems

I hoped to be with you today
That once again we two might play
True friends forever we will stay
One thing that will not go away
...

Once in a grassy glade stood tree so proud
The grass grew tall beside the mighty tree
With every passing breeze the grass there bowed
But tree stood tall and firm as it could be
...

Soft seas beheld the ebb of evening’s dance
Arousing waves upon a satin shore
Resounding reassurances for more
Soft seas awaiting soulful lover’s glance
...

I wander through my memory
The endless trail of what might be
To find a tale of once was me
And things I could or wouldn’t see
...

Come in sit down relieve your soul awhile
And let me help bring peace back to your mind
I’m sure for you there is an extra smile
My heart as always trying to be kind
...

When problems seem so far away
And worries appear under bay
And night draws its shadow on day
But listen I’ve something to say
...

Inside her garden door
Where wishes by the score
Enough to make hearts soar
And to this end he swore
...

Oh dark dark night what dreams do you ignite
And set them roaming passed my will to see
So freely they set off to torment me
There in my darkest hour they delight
...

While watching man jog to his friend
A frog croaked a future portend
Man finished his jog
By sitting on log
...

Was there aside a weeping willow tree
Which graced a field of flowers fraught with dew
Amid the dawn the bitter night now through
A maiden rests where straying eyes can’t see
...
