Wakefield Mahon Poems

You know this world is give and take
At least, that's what they say
It seems I'm always ready to take
More than I give away
...

When you've lost your inspiration,
Fretting about your destination,
Ponder on my hug and kiss.
And, as you, do remember this:
...

Picture
It's hard to love you
Still harder not to
You make me furious
...

He saw her standing there and she smiled
As she looked at him with the eyes of child
'Tell me old man, would you like to play?
I'd like to be your friend today.'
...

So many times I've said, 'I'm sorry'
Yet done the same again.
I know my words would sometimes cut,
Although I've called you friend
...

I
I write you now to tell you this
A friend like you is one I would miss
As my life is like the tempest sea
...

Time and motion
Power and glory
My love and the universe are one
A brilliant blaze
...

Picture
I hear the shower,
See her in my mind
The water envelops her
...

You say we're going to make it
I guess I know it's true
The Lord has always been here
To help me make it through
...

Turmoil
Embroiled in feelings
Reaching out for nothing
Angry with myself for the selfishness that consumes me, that consumes everything in my life
...
