Gordon D Wilkinson Poems

We fight willingly for our country
For the liberty and welfare of loved ones
Protecting the defenceless
Our life is the token we place in arenas of death
...

My eyes drink the beauty before me
Slaking my thirst
Satisfying my desire
Overwhelming my soul
...

Those green marbled eyes
Nonchalant penetrating stare
Boring deep into mine
Showing not love but affiliation
...

I love the smell of the sea
All around gulls fly free
Waves rolling lazily in and more
Breaking spreading right along the shore
...

Thoughts like billions of stars converse
Enclosed within the brains universe
Electrical pulses control invisibly
Moving limbs perceptibility
...

Totally, I am lost
Falling weightless
Am I me?
Maybe a mere extension of you
...

Sitting here at the sidewalk of life
Deep in my own futility and strife
Funny watching the world pass me by
Would they even stop if I cry?
...

Pencil thin, perfectly formed
Skin of alabaster white
Wearing your fancy collar tight
Restricting
...

Poured into loves confused mixing bowl
All the ingredients
Without a defined recipe
Mixed slowly with the spoon of want
...

My pen is my sword
Welding it, I do like the rapier
Cutting and thrusting a point of view
Back held sometimes as a defence
...
