Aidan Clevinger Poems

My nose is bloody, my knuckles, too,
And my jersey's covered in mud.
I don't know who I thought I was kidding,
Trying to be some romantic stud.
...

Anyone can tell me
The things I want to hear.
Anyone can say they care,
Or that they hold me dear.
...

There are so many things I want to say,
So many things to tell you, dear.
But I find that now I just can't say them,
Now now,
...

Though all around the devil prowls
And tempts good men to fear.
Though he loudly shrieks and howls
He cannot harm us here.
...

Jesus, Thou were crucified,
And to this world Thou bled and died.
Empower me to do the same,
For the glory of Thy matchless Name.
...

O my Father, great and gentle,
Come and aid me here tonight.
For my sorrows come a-howling,
Chains of loss have bound me tight.
...

My baby sister lives with my dad and stepmom, and I don't get to see her much. But by God's good grace we stick it through, and I am in love with this little girl. Here's to you, Shelby Kay.

How there, baby girl, how are you?
I hope that you're doing fine.
...

'Why is it, ' you ask, 'That you're so content?
'What inspires that smile? '
Well, if you want to know, my friend,
Then sit and listen for awhile.
...

Jezebel, your devilish charms
Are too much to ignore.
I find myself drawn closer,
Though I've walked this road before.
...

Dear children,
As you dream tonight,
Your dreams of silver and gold.
Do not in the darkness stray from the light
...
