James McLain Poems

Let it be as it must be,
just is just as just, can't be
by they whom
brought such grief and pain
...

Afraid of the dark afraid to look
under their own bed when some
one breaks into the house.
Even with his gun in her hand.
...

Touch Me, As If -The Rain 'She Does'
What can the others think here, when I look up.
Often, bare faced and I'm bold not I near enough.
While 'Umbrellas' are carried by most today.
...

That Day: 'Let Each Count' Once Lost
When It's left behind, each night Unseen.
Each covered veil, each smile not held,
thus sets each sun again, we left behind.
...

Woman pliant soft as clouds
and that light purple fig at night
and the rabbit my son
pulls the turtle of words
...

those are your circle of friends;
and each of you so different
as the cherry from the
strawberry tastes the yellow
...

And after, i weigh
those fourteen months
and i have still
both my hands
...

Each schools policy on panties is clear.
This schools white solid, some others are split.
Split and each why, when you ask of me, try.
This policy once split, causes only more to sit.
...

and his tounge;
yes it does
and you like it
like that
...

My Heart Is Heavy) for my daughter(
Because unknowingly yours, you always had.
Daughter Fear is like a cluster of grapes,
hung too long in wait.
