Kay Francis Poems

The one good thing about our good-bye
is knowing there will be another hello.
I can close my eyes and remember
your deep sigh,
...

Loathing tomorrow,
Your expected departure
Cuts me to the quick
Survival is uncertain
...

On metallic wings of hope,
violent noise propels man
through clouds of faith,
through the troposphere
...

I placed an imaginary rainbow
in the sky for you today.
I hope you pretended to see it
from your airplane window.
...

It feels
surreal
each time I remember
our first kiss so tender,
...

The braided trinity of us
rests like a silky, ebony plait
across the breast of
Mother Earth.
...

Go to the forest; sate your present need,
If on perfect love, you care not to feed.
Spend your nights under wintry-black skies
If less comfort is found where true love lies.
...

Pungent fresh-pine scented breezes
Slither between boughs of cedar,
Leaving frigid kisses to ride
Fragrant laurel chilled by winter
...

Standing tall, always reaching towards God
you are firmly planted
in the rough, rocky soil of my life.
You wrap me in your winter warmth
...

The sand of your spent day
trickles through
the thin chambers of time
and lies waiting for me
...
