Fay Slimm Poems

Love only needs love,
............................... but nothing less.
Mere shreds of pale
..................strained emotion remain
...

At times a lull creeps over liveliness
And morose barreness engulfs my mind.
A no-thought blanket erodes all finesse
Or elegance in careful phrasing, binds
...

Large in frame and singing it's own windsong
Of lonliness, I see Destiny flowing,
And tinged blue. While billowing among
Shadows, strange whisperings start, below
...

Silence envelopes my world tonight.
Quiet asserts itself, mists my sky
And lies heavy. Stars are dull, blighted
By gloom, and like them I cannot rely
...

He touches his hat as he saunters past.
She sits in her furs, a touch of real class.

He brushes a speck from his trousered thigh.
...

Such fragile masquerade dresses
And secretes her within a veneer.

Disguises her turmoil in best
...

Hushed and hydrated,
Water-wet otters,
Timorous creatures,
Dissension dislike.
...

To imbibe fragrance
................................... is to feel alive.
Scent comes, breath-borne
.........................into the mind, events
...

Leaden for days, the sky wept sombre rain.
Sullen clouds banked up lowering gloom,
Shading with hazy mist my flowers again.
Summer was stifled, and soon this noonday
...

He has desired to go
Through untrod fields,
Finding dull treasures others leave
And picks the greatest yields.
...
