JAMES T. ADAIR Poems

I said a prayer for you in church today

You've been through so much,
for someone so young
...

I love the time we share
Your head resting on my shoulder
I feel solitude and peace when you're there
And in my heart I really love you and care
...

Perhaps if you were near
Perhaps if you were with me here
Next to me
I would feel your heart
...

The man who loved you
Was the one you dismissed right away
The man who loved you
The one you you pushed away
...

Silence echos loudly
Hands touch freely
Soft hair whisks
Perfumed tenderness
...

There is someone I feel love for
at least my heart beats faster when we talk
and I dream of her softness and care
and imagine holding her hand when we walk
...

They always say they love you
And they'll never leave you
Then they say I'm sorry
They didn't mean to deceive you
...

You were just passing by
and I was just passing through
Seems so unlikley but so right
that I ever met you
...

Te Amo
you make me warm inside
on the coldest days
you feel so good in my hand
...

You do-gooder housewives with nothing to do
You paint your posters and placards
With Tempra and stick on photos with Elmer's Glue
Your a goody two-shoes
...
