Alice Anne Gordon Poems

Summer song
summer long
summer sounds
of summer throng
...

Blanket of ignorance start to unfold.
Blindness has led me bold
yet naïve, to this strange place
where life is a woven web of lace.
...

Leaves deepen to orange ember
as twilight comes,
sky drifts to smother the day,
swaddling memories in soft pink clouds.
...

Och Men!

Ye canny live way thum
Ye canny live without thum
...

Who is behind the veil,
behind the veil?
Who sees what others
only think they feel?
...

Dark devours the hurt,
cradled under coats in the cusp of safety,
far from prying ears
a tear,
...

Epicurus states our responsibility.
In all my meekness and volatility,
irresolute am I to appear.
But for him it was crystal clear
...

Always be an avid admirer of art
Always blaspheme the blasted bigot
Always count the calm caresses
Always debate the damning defect of duty
...

You can pray for perfection,
But you’ll never find it.
And it’s not because God’s not there.
You can search for it,
...

Masks slip, faces seen
reveals a little of what's been.
Keys fit, gates swing
melodies of old sing.
...
