Best Motion Picture Poems
He said, “I love you”-
she said, “I need you"
As he was glaring so true,
into those eyes of baby blue.
The day came when wedding bells rang,
the vows were spoken, the choir sang-
Their depth of passion captured romance,
holding each other sharing the first dance.
The honeymoon came and still in love,
hearts flying freely like an ivory dove-
With each embrace they felt the sensation,
of being grateful for each other’s creation.
A perfect motion picture on the television,
a baby was conceived just like they envisioned-
Another baby blue-eyed beautiful girl,
they knew one day she’d laugh and twirl.
Watching her sleep, they fell in love again,
remembering how they became best friends-
He needed not material things, just her hand,
she needed not diamonds, just her adoring man.
The people all viewed their fondness on screen,
so much compassion and ecstasy was seen-
They grew old and then came the cancer,
He was going to die, she needed an answer.
His final words were spoken in a hushed breath,
“I shall love you until eternity, beyond my death”.
She cried and moaned in pain and woe,
finding it hard to let her beloved husband go.
See this is a tale of a love lasting a lifetime,
a film at the cinema of marriage so sublime-
Conquering heartache yet filled with adoration,
a depiction of a true story of appreciation.
When the award show aired they won a trophy,
those actors who portrayed Johnathon and Josie-
Little did everyone know off screen they fell in love,
a perfect motion picture meant to be from above.
They soon married and had a baby of their own,
my how fast had their baby blue-eyed girl grown-
Every anniversary they’d watch their nonfiction movie,
seeing true love turn into reality, a cinema beauty.

Silent One
October 2, 2017
Thick like knuckle sized sheets of LSD
Her hips swung just like the doors of my virginity
With great ease I grew aroused by the rhythm
That produced the beat of evolution
How I imagine gently seizing her hand ever so tight
And holding it for only the universe knows how long
Occasionally I ponder on whether or not she knows
The lovely effect that she has on my bones
Though i was only sixteen,
all i knew was attitude and boys
But in all a day it changed
When i peeked into a large room
The room was dark and with one light wall
All i saw was people running around the wall
I finished watching it and scurried out of the way
Before a massive group of rich pigs came out
when they all left i snuck into the room and felt the wall
Confused and puzzled how it happen
I ran back to school and told my friends about it
i told them it was like a picture but it came alive
I heard they were called Motion Pictures
I have watched them ever since
Now over sixtie i love movies
Double Feature
David J Walker
Every today
And
Every tonight
10,000 ways to
To capture each in
High gloss
Black & White
All in sequenced order
When touched turned into a
Moving motion picture
Framed in Technicolor
While I take my seat
At the border
Repeating the lines
That were mine
Now printed and cut
The best left on the
Editors floor
And still,
I come back for more
Another double feature
With my name framed
In the lights of the Marque
who gets the credit for the lightbulb, Dad?
Dad scoffs, easiest question he has ever had
That is Edison son, Thomas was his first name
Ask me again, and I’ll tell you the same
What about the motion picture camera, who invented it?
Dad is bamboozled now, but determined to not throw a fit.
His wife? He guesses, making his wife smile in her cutest way.
Edison dad! yells the child, who runs out to play.
