William McGehee Poems

A hug and some kisses
Fulfill all your wishes,
Oh if time would just move much more slow
But better than nothing
...

We are born again through fire
We live, at once, through strife.
Through tumult you can here aspire
To forge the pathway of your life.
...

A single pane of glass divides
Myself from falling snow outside.
The first of many falling snows
That these white winter skies will know.
...

I dreamt of you last night again
A boon unto my sorrows bore
With brief relief and ease of pain
As I held you closer than before.
...

What a tease our lives can be
To promise joy so frequently
Then so oft to take away
And give, instead, a rainy day.
...

(opening voice over)
'The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war' (GEN MACARTHUR)

Hey there, MF, have you ever had a dream?
...

A faint impression stayed
A memory fell away
The mood, I felt, had changed
Like the dying of a day.
...

Sail on past silver moons,
Far beyond serene lagoons.
...

Her wet hair feels cool on my skin
As she came fresh from the shower.
She lies near me and rest begins.
...

Inspiration spurs a beauty
As blue as a pale ghost.
Haunting, Inspiration moves me,
Its far from worthy host.
...
