Leo Larry Amadore Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

More Snippets

I.
Bleeding --
a world without comfort --
lost without love --
no destination...
silently walk
without touching wounds...
where is love?

II.
Frail fingers grope...
sodden afternoons...
winter fog...
through gray eternity --
cold eyes,
delicious mouth.
Found love will laugh,
desire returning.

III.
Making love,
we deceived ourselves.
Complicitors, we lied.

Compliant pawns,
we defied danger,
practiced brilliant fabrication --

but truth was stranger.

IV.
Others know desire:
ever changing years -- and lifetimes --
reaching towards the moon.
Love, be my way.

Connie Marcum Wong January 26, 2012 at 2:52 PM This poem seems to delve deeply into the Psyche and displays how our human frailties keep leading us in and out of a reality we don't desire to face. Yet love truly is the answer, whether sharing, giving or taking it. Sublime poem! Mahalo, Connie

Joyce Johnson November 9, 2011 at 6:40 PM I suspect something sad happened to take you away from these pages for such a long time. This poem seems to indicate that. Hope you are back with happier lines. Thank you for reading and commenting on mine. Love, Joyce
