James McLain Poems

Men and women by choices made,
Remorse resides, a haunting shade.
Within the depths a troubled soul,
The pound of flesh does take its toll.
...

ܐ ܡܰܠܰܐ
ܝܶܫܽܘܥ ܡܰܚܡܰܝܢ ܐܶܠܳܗܐ ܐܰܒ݂ܝܳܢܐ
ܟܳܢܶܐ ܩܳܕ݂ܰܝܡܳܐ ܪܰܒ݂ܰܥܳܐ
ܡܳܪܝܳܐ ܕ݁ܢܰܚܡܳܝܢ ܦ݁ܰܪܝܳܐ
...

In pride's embrace, a dangerous plight,
Its venomous grip, a blinding light,
An ego bloated, consuming the soul,
Leaving behind a heart bitter and cold.
...

In deepest shadows, where despair resides,
A solemn tale unfolds, where pain collides.
A poem of sorrow, heavy on my chest,
With trembling words, I'll attempt my best.
...

In a garden green, where shadows creep,
Where secrets linger and sorrows seep,
There stood a tree, its branches wide,
But hidden within, a poison resides.
...

In a world adorned with friendship's grace,
There stands a soul, Bri Edwards, with embrace.
With a heart as gentle as the morning dew,
A loyal friend, steadfast and true.
...

Graceful wings take flight,
Butterflies dance with sunlight,
Nature's art in flight.
...

Whispers of the heart,
Love blooms, soft as petals fall,
Eternal embrace.
...

Li Poe's ink-stained quill,
Words dance in ancient embrace,
Verse whispers through time.
...

Beneath the moon's glow,
Words whisper through ancient pines,
Knowledge blooms and grows.
