James Irwin Poems

Did you ever hear of the tale,
about the Man...who kept in a small pond...a rather huge Whale.

(in my opinion, he should have gone to jail)

In this pond...the Whale would miserably sit,
...

I do not want to be involved, at your grand table of feast`s,
for I will not drink blood... with such shallow of beautifully dressed Beasts.

I want no place where this meal be served,
...

On this winters night... I have a story for you,
it`s a tale about a man... who`s happiness, he never knew.

He lived a life all be it alone,
...

If...for some reason, we ever have to part,
I want you to know...that within minutes, to you my journey will start.

Because, I am your biggest fan,
...

Where did all my butterflies go,
lost with summer dreams...and a smile, that I used to know.
Gone with any second glance that is given,
lost to the way of a dance...that has forever been driven.
...

From below the shadows...of the masked man...they said,
let him hang high...and then chop of his head.
...

If I was a Soldier...I would bend the barrel of my gun...and towards the enemy, I would run.

I would wash, my war torn bloody rags...and turn them into, beautiful white flags.
...

Unleash your powers...to complete your gain,
drench us all...in the healing, of your monsoon like rain.

Consciences cleared with every single rain drop,
...

Once upon a time...in a darkened wood,
I came across where a Fairy stood.
I gazed in wonder at this magical site,
half expecting this little Fairy to take flight.
...

A moment of pleasure caught,
to hopefully persist,
all moments of unhappiness,
to be overcome with this,
...
