Vance Gilmore Poems

High tide along the shores of time
The younger years are far behind.
The sandstone cliffs of old age do crumble
And eventually into the sea do tumble.
...

If only I could find you.
What a strange life I live.
If I could only fix this broken dream,
But I don't know what to do.
...

I am the eternal return of life
The newborn of ancient days
The materialization
Of spirit in this world.
...

Whispers on the wind
Sunshine lights the clouds
I'm on my way to you
With love in my soul
...

Lover of my soul,
I go inside to find you
When you're just too far away
For me to get to.
...

If you are a thunderstorm
I am the rain
As you are the garden
I water once again.
...

I am a bridge across time.
Mine are the eyes of eternity.
My trees are lemon and lime
(Soy sauce and cilantro inside of me..)
...

I can't compete,
this whole life is ruined.
I am incomplete,
my soul is brought down.
...

...Some seemed like crazy people
with strange tattoos of mysterious faces
on their wildly tribal painted bodies..
...

This is spiritual confrontation.
Love is the soul of it all.
Don't let the devil shame you.
Let the pain make you wiser.
...
