William McGehee Poems

I can wait a litter longer
For you to preen as women do:
And waiting, cause my mind to wander
Over time of loving you.
...

There is a time and place for tears
As well a time for sighs;
A time to say a glad Hello
And times for sad Goodbyes.
...

"Please don't put me down, dad, "
My daughter sweetly whined.
"Don't make me go to bed, daddy, "
She softly cooed and pined.
...

Come to me in early hours
So softly, as the morning dew
Forming on the forest flowers.
Come take me back in time with you.
...

The window, she shows me the surface of towns
The lives that I pass unaware, unprofound
A ripple disturbing the flow not at all
We float on the highway awash in the sound.
...

New love enflames with the spirit's rejoicing
Just like the sparrow at breaking of day
What if the songbirds can't wait until morning?
When is the right time for lovers to pray?
...

I saw her crying there today
Seated right across from me.
I was as lost for words to say
To chase her tears so far away.
...

Comming in a little blurry,
Partly static, but don't worry.
Our time apart is not forever,
Technology can make it better.
...

What long and silent vigils we keep.
Through pleasent spring and in the summer heat.
We stand amid the fallen leaves in heaps
Then even bear the coldest winter's sleet.
...

It was a hundred days ago
we said this last "good-bye"
Forced once more to part and so
Walk under different skies.
...
