Jean Renwick Poems

Your smile lights up my world
like the sun lights up our earthly one
and my heart sings out in joy.
For I have found you, or you me.
...

I stand by the river looking at darkness.
There is the moon and there are stars
though I don't know which constellations are what.
The moon reflects bright and gently rippled
...

The love of time and the grief of time,
the harmony of life and life in change.
Dead eyes have loved and changed.
In the grief of time I hide:
...

I spy with my little eye, something beginning with L.

Give me some clues, you try to glean.
...

Behind the glitter, the laughter, the make-up
Something lies bitter and bizarre
A cast of characters outside God’s creation.
Under the bright, wry smile of a low-slung moon
...

Make love in a rainforest,
Make love in the snow;
Through a storm in a graveyard
That’s how it would go.
...

Woman of Troy −
You cause what’s called the Sin of the World
Have mercy on me.
...

I love travelling o’er hills and dipping into valleys,
Moving across mountains and sweeping plains.
I love resting in the shadows and reflections of sunlight in hidden caves.
But nothing can compare to the brimming lake of liquid sweetness
...

There’s a girl
sitting,
surrounded by the golden glow of sunset.
Contemplation.
...
