Poems by Matthew Edward Peterson : 13 / 60
Coming of age
these eyes have viewed the universe
but wish for things unseen
i hold hope for bound immenities
my mind swept kindly clean
your bosom is my rapture
i'll take you in my arms
over powers obscene serenity
your touch my only charm
through peace and love and charity
i glady accept my duty
the coming of age leaves words of rage
but speaks only true beauty
