Raymond J Wright Poems

My head in my hands,
Your name on my lips

And the icy winter wind
...

Oh, my Mortal Love
In the years since I began to unravel
...

I know
There’s something
In this weight in my chest
...

On this night
candles light this ballroom
drape the faces of our friends
in golden warmth
...

I write
For the love of the words

I write for snowflakes and
...

I ask the questions
And so you deny
I walk the corridor
Now it’s goodbye
...

(For you, James. You are the fire in my veins)

And so it begins again,
This dance we do.
...

Sometimes it seems
I always write the ground
I never write the stars, the clouds
Sometimes I write the ocean
...

There’s a shimmer of magic in the air
As thunder roars above
As rain erupts from the sky
...

I am only a moment
a breath
a heartbeat
a flicker of warmth
...
