Jimmie Arrington Poems

I took a trip down Memory Lane,
Across the meadows of my brain,
And through the valley of my mind.
I searched land and surveyed sea,
...

I dreamt a dream that Fate was here
And whispered secrets in my ear
Which caused my doubts to disappear.
Why did I ever wake?
...

Sweet Am, it’s simpler than you think,
The answer is before your eyes.
While the past departs with each blink,
The future can tell no lies.
...

I drive.
I don’t know where I’m going
But still I go.
The open road is so unknowing,
...

Your words don’t define me.
Your opinions are not mine.
I’m not just who it is you see,
I’m not defined so easily.
...

If we considered everybody kin,
If we wore a more gracious face,
If common sense was more common,
The world would be a better place.
...

“Everything changes” or so they say,
And you proved that one true today;
For better or for worse.
Old love died and changed to hate;
...

Like a flower bloomed in Spring,
I’ve seen the most beautiful thing:
She grows in light and glows in dark,
A gentle gleam and sudden spark,
...

Through a maze of graves I make my way,
On a cold and dreary winter’s day,
Suppressed with clouds of black and gray.
And I am all alone.
...

What would I think of me
If I saw what others see?
Would I want to stare?
Would I stop a while to talk
...
