Buxton Shippy Poems

Our lives crossed paths
At work and at school
You loved the lines,
Spaces and planes.
...

He became acquainted
with the spirit
at an after-party;
the disc jockey changed
...

The storm, fierce and unrelenting
Still He slept in the midst of its rage.
Terrified, they begged Him:
He spoke and the storm obeyed.
...

My Unfading Rose,
Heal my heart
To love the least deserving,
To feed a wailing child,
...

Touched by Time;
They harnessed the sun.
Now, people to people,
Pay to see.
...

Black Dreadlocks
With his red
Green and gold
Twisting
...

Political warriors kill
Without a touch

With weapons of fear,
...

I am not in need
He is my provider
He admonishes me
For my benefit
...

For ten years
Evil stood on the hills
Of Afghanistan
Evil on foot
...

Emotions twisting
Mind racing towards the end
Uncontrolled life edging
Pray to the Deity
...
