Richard Davis SR. Poems

We could have stayed at home
Ignored the time in history you called for us
Used our greater power to provide for only us
Build greater Chinese walls around us
...

There’s a time and a place
There’s the look on your face
I see the hands go bye
And I just don’t know why we try
...

I love you
How?
For your eyes that reflect onto me
Love, compassion, understanding, and acceptance
...

Memory brought,
By a simple scent,
Of childhood wrought,
With innocence, and intent,
...

I feel your presence upon me
Dancing freely in the atmosphere
Shading the light and lighting my day
Always known, never met, but you’re here
...

Valentine oh Valentine

Ride with me on a wisp of fragile yet eternal hope
To the heaven we each keep inside our souls
...

Doom lords over the created by man
in image of gods created vision
Altered nor identifiable by hand
Crafted then constructed to be utterly abused
...
