John Henry Gillin Poems

A petal of a rose
precious, soft and special
protected by thorns
yet always wanted.
...

Wish a wish, I wish I might
Might I wish, wish I might
What to Wish - I can not say
Did I wish, you should know.
...

I'm sad today, I'll be sad tonight
step by step, I struggle to step
there's no wake in my step
no way to make my way
...

darkness creeps through my room
like hands it reaches out and touches me
fingers like knifes it blades pierce my hart
...

A pericing screech, A throbbing pain
A scream trying to fight its way out
An image that could be described by Edvard Munch
A sound, a whisper down an empty hallway
...

Your my princess, a muse, a friends

I may not be perfect, I may not be rite
- All the time
...

Bird why do you stare - from the ground
I'm higher then thee, spread your wings
be strong brave and free
...

When I stare, I stare at you
you know this to be true
I dream and wish only for you.
...

I sit and wait till you come.
Hurry up and wait.
Sitting in silence, I still wait.
Its now dark and I'm still here.
...

My hart gros heavy with anticipation.
Waiting for another encounter.
A call a message - a smile your touch.
...
