Gil MAHANEY Poems

I closed my eyes
Only to see you anew
As I’d never
Seen you before
...

Lingering morsel
Resonate in my mind
As if you were still
On my palate
...

Looked into your eyes
There I saw you pleading
Watched your chest heaving
As you were breathing
...

Are you reading this
That boy he wrote this
With a broken heart
Can't be sure of what
...

Color of heat
Flickering blue
Shining steady
Burning true
...

With your soft lips
Would you dare
Speak of it
Oh tell me that
...

Lucky lucky me
Fancy free if only
For a moment to be
Granted the gift of flight
...

Yes
I slept
A none too restful
Busy sleep
...

All of you
Empty ones
Who sang wailing
At the moon
...

Gently by the heart
She shook me
Then by my willing
Hands took me
...
