Terry Coates Poems

My brother
My brother is my keeper
My brother is my best friend
My brother is my pain
...

Livin in anger
Anger that has no ending
Anger that has no fear
Anger that has no wants
...

Why am I so evil?
Is it because of bad things I do to others?
Is it because I curse
Is it because I have sex
...

Love is like a rose you pick on that great spring day
It has life love fullness and gratefulness
It opens your mind and sees real beauty
But love is like a rose
...

Just last night I got a call
It was poetry saying please come home
I replied back that I am retired and done
It said please, please come back
...

I sit here
With hate and anger
Wondering and pondering among the stars
To tell me what to do
...

Don’t waste my time
Keep moving,
I don’t want to talk
You talk about nothing
...

A dream
Dreams are the essence of life
Within the lines of happiness
It takes you to place you have never been
...

I am afraid to sleep at night
For I have a feeling that he might bite
I see him in the day time
In the shadows waiting to snatch me from my life
...

I see her everyday
I am to scared
To speak one word
I know she likes me to
...
