James McLain Poems

Losers in a row about to die
corks that pop from the other side.
People have come from all over
the country just to watch them cry.
...

The accident that changed my life
begins to fade it changed more
than that.
My brain has never stopped hurting
...

I hated being alone.......
At age three and younger.
One time I pooped.
On the past.
...

Did you even know,
and how you ever could,
too never know, I loved you.
...

Bright stars in a southern sky
If I could only put them out
Put them all out
I looking down at only you.
...

I try to understand..
Your face when you gaze with in me..
You dance as the tiger...I watch..
Paws moving around the hills.. valleys..
...

Have you ever known it by a differant name, than
the name that we call love?
Could you prey upon that special one the one you
said you loved.
...

he wandered there a lonely man,
along each broad causeway.
and every hand that helped him up,
the other slipped away.
...

'Any Thing' that cost you nothing;
Where paused each try, all pass me bye.
Through my window -pane left hope and faith,
it stops against each face I see, to watch me.
...

Your hips sway like the ocean's gentle breeze,
Curved and supple, a sight that truly frees.
They dance with grace, a mesmerizing sight,
In every step, they emanate delight.
...
