Brian Roe Poems

An image forgotten to time,
a dream of youth envisioned but never realized,
a longing learned and never let go, finally satisfied.
...

Softer than shadow
fingers upon my skin
hot as hell fire
passion burning begins
...

Feeling so torn
by a quiet war
that rages in my soul…
Desire, responsibility arrayed for battle
...

It won't wash away, the stain
Liquid love can't cure the ail of all my pain
Liquor the love of a lonely broke soul
But drowning is it Cure
...

Look at these dirty hands
that society cant see
love and hope are simple demands
yet pity is all that's given me
...

The thought I wake to
and in the steady beating of life
The embracing of my arms
and in passions memory from before
...

My thoughts run to you this day
memories flow a torrent and
scenes are set, perfect as pictures in my mind.
Reliving our moments, feeding this soul of clay
...

You want: love...
from a friend, the desire of one man
An ear to hear and a mind to listen
An open heart and intelligence
...

Words are nothing unless there is life
Syllabi, stanza, and line
Words, melody and time
For a beauty, whom holds my mind
...

I think, I might think, too much…
I held a thought once…
or maybe it was a dream
it seemed to so real to me.
