Stuart Kaler Poems

What proof can I offer you that love exists?

...what syllabic alchemy can I conjure to make you love?
...

I just chatted with a man on the Internet;

Who said:
...

Sweet presence....

....in a dream, you appeared....
...

Today
I awoke to the news

That my brother had passed away
...

One sultry Waimea night

I had dinner with your mother
...

Come, Abe...
...and lead me by the hand,
...o Captain, my Captain...
To show me the complete rest of the Eternal.
...

Sitting back from the breakers, I see

the light from a soon-to-be setting sun dance
...

A soft breeze blows to chill the setting sun;

High upon my perched hilltop, I sit – still, silent - transfixed by the Bay in an instant of golden perfection;
...

In the heat of mid-August, my young daughter flittered behind,
as I solemnly walked along the wooded path.

Coming to a solitary stone marker, I stopped.
