Tom Navarro Poems

I was hit and made weak though I am a grown
Man coughing traffic and smoke fumes beset me

Age un-friends immunity to diseases and cars' headlights blind
...

You flow into my mind so viscously familiar, silver and gold
A vision of air, water, fire, and body
As I lay before the coming of the deluge of beauty and of destruction
Leggy and triangular blazing wildness and culture and diploma
...

If I had a thousand lives
I would learn all the languages
Make love in all of them
Write poetry
...

The poetry of a relationship
You must continuously write it
Reading and appreciating is too egocentric
Not doing your part
...

No more war for heroes forty-four
Up there they'll enjoy the peace they strove to protect
Boodle-fighting with winged angels in full armor
Welcoming these brave young men among the Elect.
...

Buy me, my love
With a smile, flouride white
Bribing shine for me to write
Brand my memory with a joyous face.
...

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
...

I need to remind my mind
That the heart is greater than the brain
That I'm tied to your kiss kind
Dying to salve your pain.
...

My doe-eyed lover
Fixed her inspecting eye on me
I aim my dragon-fire
Before she could flee.
...

The fruit of your smile
Apple of the eye
The smell of divine apples
Is in your breath
...
