JAMES T. ADAIR Poems

To church, past week I hadn't been
on account of the shape I'm in
I sat among the congregation
In holy honor and obligation
...

Hello Mr. Clock
Hello Mr. Teapot
and then I heard her little voice
Hellp Mr. Clock
...

Is it crazy
as a fantasy
To have you leave your job
and family
...

Some argue for or against creation
but I choose to see God as salvation
His hand I feel it guide me
To bring out the best inside me
...

When you've been mistreated
turn the other cheek
when your heart breaks when you see something beautiful destroyed
try to turn the other cheek
...

Don't listen to what the neighbors say
Love is in the heart
Don't listen to what your friend's all say
Love is in the heart
...

My heart goes out to single mothers
moreso that to the others
because their days are so long
Their daily lives so thankless
...

MYSTERY WOMAN

Mystery woman
I love you unconditionally
...

Today
I kissed the morning mist
The cold damp seductress
Bathed in soft glow twilight
...

your knees bend slightly as your skate blades touch the smooth ice
The air is cool and calm
the music makes it twice as nice
The ice is transluscent but shaded like the white on dice
...
