Terry Donovan Poems

Straight ahead backwards
And you end up
Where you are.
You don't know
...

I love my old computer more each day,
I don't know what I'd do without her here.
We spend so many happy hours at play,
Gone are the times when daily life was drear.
...

Remember in those long-gone winter days
When, wrapped in jumpers by the fireside,
We yearned for sunshine, blue sky and heat-haze
And deck chair semi-nude days sat outside?
...

She left me once, she left me twice,
But after several days
Returned and asked forgiveness,
Saw the folly of her ways.
...

I listened to you sing our fav'rite song
And heard the children's laughter from outside
Those sounds that I'd not heard for oh so long.
I listened and I smiled and then I cried.
...

The woman next door has no shame
And when the weather's hot
Lies in her garden naked
Showing everything she's got.
...

I wrote my love a sonnet in the sand
Beneath a lovers' sky of endless blue.
She read it and she gently squeezed my hand
And promised she would always love me true.
...

I'm on the outside looking in again
And hearing laughter from a happy throng,
I'm peering through a steamed-up window pane.
I'm looking in from out where I belong.
...

R

I stand before
A half-open door.
...

You don't need a reason to believe,
It happens on its own.
Belief belies all logic
And all that's seen and known
...
