Denis Martindale Poems

Distinctive markings on his coat
Disguise the snow wolf well,
As if the snow had kissed his throat
So that we couldn't tell...
...

Beneath the perfect warm sunshine,
Beneath the perfect sky...
The lion and his Valentine
Both shared the perfect sigh...
...

Inner heartbeat getting fonder!
Inner heartbeat getting sweet!
Inner heartbeat makes me ponder:
So how come life's incomplete?
...

The bond between us lives in smiles and sometimes salty tears -
It blossoms through our joys and trials and crosses our careers.
I'm there for you! You're there for me! As if it's meant that way.
Despite life's search for certainty, it's love that still holds sway.
...

The tiger rested in the sun
Without a single care...
Without the need to hunt or run,
This sense of peace was rare.
...

The lonesome tiger waded through
The forest stream one day.
I'd watched him, though he had no clue,
With equal stealth to stay.
...

The arctic wastelands numb the bones
And wolves aren't yet immune,
Upon the winds you'll hear their groans
And moans that won't end soon...
...

As I began to say a prayer, I saw God's curtains part,
Then came the vision, oh, so rare, at first it broke my heart...
I saw two angels fly above, one holy, peaceful, glad,
The other wicked, hateful, rough, tormentor of the sad...
...

'Who moved my cheese? ' the poor mouse screamed!
He really looked distraught!
For cheese was everything he dreamed,
Worth risking getting caught!
...

If only I was really rich,
My pockets full of cash,
Then I would have a spending itch,
The kind you could call rash...
...
