Stephen Denny Paul White Poems

I: Loss

It’s been three years that we’ve gone out
...

Lonely little angel
Got her wings so young
She never opened up her eyes
Killed from an abortion
...

You are my guiding angel
you are my shining light
although you're gone, it is alright
- you'll stay here by my side
...

I cannot stop this lust; this urge
to kiss your perfect lips
i cannot stop this lust for you
i've never felt like this
...

And here we stand, as lovers
here, we stand as friends
here we stand, with such a strength
of what will never end
...

What is a continent to love?
of equal shall they be?
a vast expanse of barren land
stretched farther than the eye can see?
...

No, I don't care for what you think
I'm not self-conscious every blink
And no, I don't care what you say
I'll live and then die anyway
...

what is a life of bickering...
so short-lived at the most?
shall not it be filled with silly puns
- a gracious, loving host?
...

If I died this very second
I would leave these words behind
To anyone who'd hear me out;
to learn a lesson of the kind.
...

Thine eyes that shine like summers sun
a hope held in my hands begun
with simple words come from thy mouth
and so our love begins...
...
