Lum Chabot Poems

Her eyes, glistening like the tranquil waters,
Ever searching for something new,
Reflecting the pain, but hiding it well,
Telling no one what she knew,
...

You love me, and I love you,
It’s so new, and yet it’s so old,
Forever warming, never cold,
Like the gazing seraph view,
...

The chilling dampness envelopes me,
Asphyxiating, down to the depths of my soul,
The abyssal pitch, so hardly droll,
Absent of prosperity,
...

Peoples rise and fall;
Like the ebbing tide of the ocean;
Yet She among sirens remains;
Ne’er experiencing woeful disdain;
...

The things you say, they comfort me so,
As moonlight reflects upon a still bay,
I take them to heart, for I know they’re sincere,
And ever so helping along my weary way,
...

It was a full moon night in Hél,
And he strolled around with her,
Around familiar darklit corridors,
With her body in arms, head clutched to his breast,
...

In entrails of wycked beast
Prisoners rest, those from the feast
Cantankerous of those debtors,
Who hoped to work for better
...

Dancing in the dismal mist this wisp
Is full of crystal promises, made in crisp,
Though ripe bog air; the in scent of past witchcraft ‘ere,
Where playing children felt wear and tear on fair
...

“Je vous aime, ” il vous dit
Et dans les fleurs, elle a demandé lui “Pourquoi? ”
Il a répondu, “Parce que tout de vous, mon amour.”
“Expliquer, s’il vous plaît, ” et lui a répondu, “Bien sûr.”
...

After precious daughter put to sleep
He made sure daughter’s soul to keep
In complete safety in midst of silken lunes
Father and mother each left a plume
...
