Steven Rodgers Poems

I've finally found a tune to play,
A rhythm ripe, A true delight,
I've finally found a tune to play,
The music hums all through the night,
...

A stream of thoughts pour down the face,  
From heart's mind, the starting place,  
For every deed is done in time,
With prudence at the fore,
...

I know the value of your heart,
In temperance love thy past is known,  
For yours is built in years of pain,
In trepidation thine was sown. 
...

Growth eternal soaks the passing of a day,
And boils not the eyes that watch the flame,
In frozen locked the truth will melt away,
Shall ne'er the wild passion beast be tame. 
...

Rare is the star that shines in day,
Strikes through cloud and shade,
Bright is the hope that rides the ray,
Of dream and hope delayed. 
...

They have all troubled minds and troubled souls,
In troubled times as far as troubled goes,
Thither they are to be and do as one,
And thither they shall all be to remain,
...

 Whence cometh your need to make me see?
The secrets held within,
The buds bursting on the hidden canopy,
Stretched atop the city sin.
...

Each of both in likeness finds,
The other side, the other shoe,
The other one in kindness shines,
The first is tossed, the second booed,
...

On the train ride home,
Amidst the busy business folk,
I saw a man with his friend,
In the middle of a joke,
...

He thinks that I'm a hero,
That I am the strongest man,
He thinks I am the smartest,
He is my biggest fan,
...
