Callow Poems - Poems about Callow

love’s last press

...
silly dream …

but it’s mine nonetheless
wait …
wait for it …
I’ll wait for it now and ever
to feel that press
the press of sweet tenderness
that melting mouth that met mine all
those achi...

adieu

...
we …
sat here once …
so long ago it’s a dream -
a mirage of another life,
like a desert’s distant, fiery fog …
we were brine,
I, salt to your water -
churning surf that broke upon another -
...

my eyes turn back

...
I …

have courted luck in countless ways
against ragged judgments and self-umbrage
I still draw breaths, counted
and the mirror has been charitable
most I meet deem me forty
(I’m not about t...

Ground Clouds and Fish Smaze

...A mackerel sky fillets a fish scaled village,
an ear clapping, full sailed, fog
moors itself to the rooftops,
then hides all in a breezeless blear.

Rheumy eyes peep out from nets,
damp noses s...

Faith

...
Faith is the thing with callow feet—
That tiptoes on thin air—
It keeps no calendar or creed—
Yet finds me unaware.

It does not knock—it does not plead—
But settles in the soul—
A hush, mor...

My Eternal Knight

...The sun rises on silky dunes that look like breasts. 
You are lost in the desert,
The air is dry and sandy residue explores your crevices.
Peripatetic genetrix,
Protector of sublime gifts passed ...

Cumulus Rejoice

...

Most cherished of thoughts, ideas abloom, 
spreading, expanding
Overcoming harsh crushing repression, 
breaking loose into a fluffy
sacred cloud bound emancipation 
Liberation! My spirit tak...

Darkness We Meet Again

...Alas! You dark, grotesque, vile servant of Lucifer, the antithesis of the morning star. 

Once again, you have sought me out and endeavored to siphon my light at the end of my tunnel. 

In the pa...

Cacoethes

...
Cacoethes as infatuation
visited me mostly in my youth.
Those deep yearnings fed my soul
with the lyrics of melancholy love songs
that revolved on my record player’s
turntable as I, in my call...

Midway I

...When all the stars from Heaven fell to Earth,
a light was quelled beneath the mantled dawn.
The aftermath lent anger in rebirth
when apathy was scorched by Nippon brawn.
A swift emergence reckone...

flock of phantoms

...
blackbirds …

innumerable …
clouds and washes of them
I grin to myself -
symbolism …
you taught me that
and more … (and less)
you taught me the difference between
love and lust … and Love

Barbarossa II

...As Barbarossa roars into the East.
its southern barb cut swiftly to the core.
And as it raged the slaughtering increased,
consuming any force that stood before.
His swift barrage devoured the ran...

NYA - North Yarmouth Academy

...
the ivy crunches ‘neath my boot
        cold sounds that crisp the winds
            a snow has left its whitened soot
    not just the ground
but with age found
        my head and cheeks … a...

Another Perspective

...I think at first perhaps she pitied me
With my fumbling teenaged kissing
But to her as a separated mother 
I provided some love she was missing.
She risked her very reputation.
I, perhaps, riske...

Sense and Sensibility

... We are commonly predisposed 
To lack of common sense - case closed!


We seem to have it all and more and some, 
Well nourished and beyond, stern doctors say.
