Cameron Gallant Poems

There once was a man who was dead
Who could not understand what we said
We wanted to play
But he lay there all day
...

I may laugh at your jokes
But I turn away and desperately I search
For a way out of your harsh cruel grasp
Your disrespectful demeanor and temper-driven wrath
...

The war that holds in all our hearts
That stayed so long and caused the dark
The war that caused our men to die
Though proxy to a larger crime
...

It was a dark and stormy night,
With the thunder bolts and the light,
And the wind gushing past the house,
The street light flickered, then went out.
...

Silver
Clatter
Bells on steel
Hooves in dark sand
...

I sit alone, deserted in an utmost unloving manner
The rains cascades down my windows as tears
I’m lonely alone, with nobody to console me
Deserted the only family I’ve ever had
...

Talk about a perfect day
Just you and I alone as the wind ripples our hair
High on a cool spire of a mountain where our view is the world
...

Dear Love, dear love of mine
Your face is perfect, you are so fine
Dear Love, one let us be
In response to the painted sea
...

The fans go wild
The basket is scored
The teams neck and neck
Move up and down the court
...

Golden light rises
Progresses marking time’s steed
Rides gently away
...
