Jai Bankson Poet Light Verse

The Old Words

To hear her voice,would make you entranced
                                   Too feel her laugh,and in just a moment
                                                    A simple glance!
                            All worries;like Icarus, wings shall grow and take flight.
                               Off into the heavens,forever gone, long forgotten,
                                                to say forever goodnight.
                           The smell of her skin---long,lingering on my lips, and my sheets.
                                Her kiss--'If death was to come' My heart would pause to beat. 
                                      Her sweet breathe that I am lucky to know
                                          No matter if nothing had ever  happened  ,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    would be enough even still though
                          She is no longer mine yet her heart still beats in my soul, 
                                          like God's hand coming down
                                            A  Storm simply out of control!  
'                                                                                          
                                                                                                   ''I do love bad weather''
