James McLain Poems

Did he make it hard....
For you to cry...
Do..
Those tears well up..
...

This is a story from one inmate who discribed some of his
crimes and is still alive.

Here you do not choose the meal, here you are prepared
...

In waters deep, temptation lies,
The bait on the hook, a fish's demise.
...

In beauty she walks by me.
and her throaty is so pale.
she It is as the moon light.
and how i struggle hard and blue vein,
...

In pursuit of happiness; some justice fell away,
and in two heart's he found lost art, lily and
the rose..both masks loves wind did sway....
While being fair and kind, So thought the father
...

Deep within you dream;
and how you spent your days-
kept gone and others none to have.
With night you come and ride away.
...

When lily kisses rose.....
and lily i did know..
and trees i thought...
grew very deep..
...

Make my mouth yours

And place my tongue on
your roof, better to form
...
