Frank Letras Poems

Let the poet do his work
Why don’t you just let him be
Please just leave him alone
For when he’s writing he’s free.
...

I spent some time recently
In the shadow of your smile
Resting in the cool space
Between that cold shoulder
...

I think I missed the point
When night turned to day
When dark turned to light
When loneliness went away.
...

Fewer things in life have given me
The same pleasure as a good book
Although I’ve read some real duff ones
Not even worth a second look
...

Maybe inside you
I can find some solace
Maybe beside you
I can be at peace
...

When the moon beyond ashen clouds shows
And morning comes a calling
When the warmth of a fiery sun grows
While the night’s dew’s still a falling
...

Nothing so stirs my soul
As the sight of a blank page
Another story waiting to be told
And one in which I shall engage
...

Every time you or I
Find something to complain about
Just spare a moment’s thought
For those caught up in the drought.
...

The mist reached out from the centre of the lake
As a lover, left behind my reach out, beseeching,
Ethereal, surreal and ghostly
I thought of her, left behind at the edge of reality
...
