Terence George Craddock Poems

a body of stone
mass motionless
stasis stored gravity
an immoveable mountain
...

who will wake
the earthquake
who will release
a peaceful ripple
...

death comes fever hot in night sweats clamping wet
death comes creeping cold in nights winter shiver sold
death comes flesh seeking in hot summer stifling heat
death comes taking just before waking morning light
...

life is a lifetime lifespan days invested in life
duration allotted span years working usefulness
human period of work functioning effectiveness
recreation laughing beauty energy fill life vitality...
...

often fleet happiness
is a beautiful summary
of simple pleasures
...

when I return to read good
time tested literature tasty
from time to time spare
...

write
a superbly
written
...

happiness
enchanting
contagious
...

will your touch be liquid fire?
igniting spark passion fuel skin
will love flame burn two hearts?
...

will two hearts minds souls?
be engulfed in an eternal blaze
consuming eterity their souls?
...
