Jeffrey Stultz Poems

I.
The garden by my house is locked,
the door is bolted tight,
the walls are high and strong
...

You catch me watching you,
your laughing smile inquires what I'm about,
I say nothing, but my heart is full of wonder,
at the depth of sorrow in your eyes.
...

One velvety soft
desert night;
in a moonless sky,
the stars shone bright.
...

Torture,
to be so near,
my tongue held fast by fear.
Fearful,
...

Three decades ago,
a hardy few,
gathered to start
something new;
...

At Long Last, Love

At long last, love, has come,
to soothe this weary heart,
...

The spirit of the trees is in the breeze,
It is not bound by root or branch.
Leaves shimmer and branches sway
While whispering winds carry seeds away.
...

Lend me your ears for a moment or two,
and I’ll sing you song of a love that is true,
a magical maiden, Arianna by name;
the purest of heart, the brightest of fame.
...

You say your goin’ through some bad times
The Lord seems so far from you,
Your faith is getting weak
and your Heart is getting hard
...

In the harbor there’s a lady,
Made of metal and stone;
She lights the way for people
Who want to make the land
...
