Anthony Dawson Poems

Early morning changes my colour,
Weakens my magnet for you to escape into sleep
I asked the girl in the corridor if she was a
Morning bird, she smiled then floated into the
...

Scanitly clad women roam the floors of nighclubs, hotels;
Expose flesh on the beach, materialize the lust in men.
...

Your shanty sits on a hill,

above filth below will.
...

Clouds are my moving treasure, free, abundant, looming

as grey death or simply washing clean a slate of trials.
...

Noises in the night under dark cloud skies

That keep missing the moon.
...

You!

I was just dreaming of you.
...

Resist the temptation to yell
as this expression gets under my skin;
I shudder and my soul is disturbed.
...

I can't yet hear the grind of the factory
I have just woken and my heart is racing
My heart is a racing fuse
Today I begin life as someone else
...

Your face retains the remnants of yesterday
Your clothes and dwelling all entered this passage through yesterday
Yesterday is etched in your love
...
