Ed_ Schmidt Poems

Love is the one thing
That keeps our spirits whole
When Sorrow comes a knocking
With hurts that touch our soul
...

Fragile is the mirror
Our psyche hides behind
Reflecting our delusions
From fear of what we find
...

Leaves of trees
blanket my bed
A silly old alleycat
keeps watch at my head
...

You ask of me
To set them free
When submission
Is their seed
...

What does it mean to kiss a witch
Beneath a magic moon
Hold her close till comatose
From the spasms of her swoon
...

I dream what it would be like to be a Butterfly
See the wonder of their world through a thoughtful eye
Taste the fragrant flowers drink the morning dew
Play around the petals and pollinate a few
...

A bacon egg and cheese biscuit
Is what I'd like the most
Instead I have some melon
and a piece of melba toast
...

Bouncing along the bubbling stream
Adrift in a dance of shiny moonbeams
Play hide and seek with the sun's many rays
Climbing a rainbow riding it's waves
...
