Kevin Lynch Poems

So long ago are the days of
Undying happiness and joy,
Infiltrated by good times and
Cheery smiles from a little boy.
...

Look like the innocent flower, but the the serpent under it.
Wait behind the beauty, ready for your crime to commit,
Deceive those who are trusting, force them to regret,
All the kindness they have shown you, since the day you two met,
...

So long have I know these days,
So wicked and weary and wild.
I've know them what seems a forever,
Ever since I was a young child.
...

The sunlight shines on this bright Summer's day,
Birds chirping joyfully and the trees gently sway,
A mild gentle wild blows softly with grace,
Flowing through my hair, caressing my face.
...

Murderer! You with your blue eyes and blonde hair,
What a crooked suit of lies you constantly wear.
Be it to fool others, or just give yourself an air
Of some kind of superiority over those you say you care
...

This cold winter's night...
Is adding to my blight.
No happiness I can borrow
To end my eternal sorrow
...

Someday, I hope for somebody that is just like you,
Someone just as beautiful, cheers me up as you do,
With flowing hair and eyes that amaze!
And she'll be so awesome, she'll put me in a daze.
...

Why can't I just feel again? Instead of having my emotions go cold?
Why can't I just walk with the happy instead of this pain so old?
Why can't I just fully move on and finally feel what I had felt
Again when I was with that one woman that made my heart melt?
...

It has all just changed, my mind; no longer deranged...
Emotionally stuck in a limbo between the wrong and right,
Just cool, calm and plain, no longer astranged or insane,
Along with which there is less pain, but is this hope in sight?
...

I sit here, pondering on a daily basis, staring into space or looking out at passing faces,
Of the people passing by my widow-wooded window frame. And not a day passes by,
When I don’t think of the thing I sought, and to my doorstep that very thing you brought,
And for it I desperately and foolishly fought, only to lose you and the love you supply,
...
