Barry A. Lanier Poems

Son 'Always remember to follow your heart, or a compass'

Son ' Never go out with a lady who doesn't wear underwear, for she is
to lazy to wash'
...

Seperated cloaks of flesh and bone
Devastated, desolate, never whole
Together in separation, yet alone
Amid self-induced delusions
...

I think the art and inspiration of poetry
Would inspire all members here
To write PoemHunters.com
To Ban Alex Black from this site
...

I spent years a' sinkin down a bottomless pit,
And when I got way down, I found a rock under it.
I rejoiced no mo' sinkin', build my house on solid ground,
On the Rock, hallelujah, I've found.
...

With eyes wide open
Smile away your tears
And be happy
...

Green shoots with white tips,
Emerge all around
From the bushes and bark,
And even the ground.
...

In the celestial and terrestial,
We arise.
On a plane higher than life,
Powerless,
...

I go with the Waving Girl to Savannah's Riverstreet.
To rest a weary soul upon the English ballast cobblestone streets,
Mingling aromas of salty air, barly and rye.
A vastness of Southern skies over the Atlantic,
...

Mama didn't read me
Fairy Tales and rhymes
Every night when she put me to bed
In the comfort of home when we were along
...
