J. R. Ryan Poems

My Love
My Love I'm broken now
I've finally come around
I see your point so clear.
...

Griffeth mans the station
Standing slumped and still
I believe he is at peace,
But I almost think he's ill.
...

Periscope's down 'Prepare to Dive.'
'Load Torpedoes. Men, prepare your lives.'
It's Ten p.m. on a starry, starry night,
and I don't think we're coming up tonight.
...

I see a pale and sickly horse.
I never speak of her teeth.
I tell a fairytale no more.
...

Once so long ago and bound for earthen gold
I set out for the North, so to find my Julie Ann.

With dreams a dreamer dreams
...
