Frank Adie Poems

Invisible and yet so real,
My gentle breezy friend;
I always know you are passing by,
When the trees nod their heads.
...

I was bought with money
I am the property of my master
He determines the course of my life
He subjects me to mindless drudgery
...

A husband
who loved his wife dearly.

A father
...

What went wrong?
That you now sing a different song?
For life we promised to ride this horse
Our oath was for better for worse
...

A horde of bloodthirsty herdsmen-
Are on the loose on their satanic expedition;
Ferocious, violent and bloodthirsty killer brigade,
Whom unimaginable cruelty is their stock-in-trade;
...

If you die before me,
Life would be a goalless adventure -
Leading to nowhere.
...

Surely there was standing ovation in the land of the dead,
To usher in the greatest female musician of all times;
While celebration greeted you in the underworld,
The world mourned, and bemoaned your departure.
...

Nothing is Free

My son,
There is so much dignity in paying your bills
...

We met, we slept and we had fun
I wanted you to stay, but you opted to run
I will not resort to self-pity and regret
Negative emotions are not for me to create.
...

Don't tell me love
Show me love
When love is verbalized I hear it
When it is acted I feel it
...
