Long Maier Poems

I Did Not Mean It

I didn't mean it.  

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I didn't mean to deceive you,
I didn't mean to lie,
It hurted me so much, inside,
I cried, for the pain I inflicted.

I...

I could smell the ballpark in my glove
Lose myself in the crooked sky above
Hear the roar of the crowd in my bat
Oblivious to your epitaph called stats
Dreaming a dream, called baseball

But that was all taken...

I planted the Daffodils in the hills, 
You were thrilled as daffodil flowers bloom, 
Amonst the sunny summer fields, 
Our room filled with perfume of golden yellow, 
With view of dew crystals cover the meadows....

Celtic Sun
Celtic sun, one such wonder, 
Sending her rays unto the woods, 
Celtic sun spun her golden silk, 
Oh, such beauty on kiln dried land. 

In this mystic cool Spring air, 
Soft wind blowing everywhere,...

It Was Spring When I Met You. 

I met you in the spring,
When blue birds gather and sing,
With butterflies' wings fluttering,
Stirring above flower petals.

Our whole life's beings, in joy,
In full swing, of living things,
Amonst slices...

  Dreaming of You.. 
I turn around and see your face in the cloud,
I see your smile, each time I look in the sky,  
A smile for me to see, a glee in...

The Shutterbug (Vivian Maier) -by Trevor McLeod


She shot through life and captured photo.
Dismissed her name for art.
Took thousands of great photographs
and in the end did part.

Her photos came from on the street.
Rich characters and buildings.
While...

Memory of you
Memory of you from long past,
Still haunting and fooling my heart,
Pulling me apart from my soul,
Role playing of aching pain and joy,
It toils at the weakness of my mind...

Tearing me to bits and...

In time, my love will grow as you wish, 
In time, I may want to kiss you even more, 
In time, I would always want you near me, 
When you are here, satisfy and gratify,...

How Far For Me To Go

I think of the moon beams bright over the stars,
How far for me to go to follow you,
Over the rainbows where the sky grows bright and blue,

Misty cool morning hue...

Summer Blues 

Wish you were here to ease my fear, 
So near but so far wherever you are, 
My heart's reaching out to the stars, 
Oh vast sky, you're kind to this lost soul, 
Can...

Vivian walked a tighter path
than she would have believed.
For one with anonymity
she would be deceived.

A public figure she was not.
Her life spent between images.
And when at home it wasn't hers
that landlords brought her scrimmages.

Her photos...

You are the one, that can reach, into my innermost thoughts, 
You are the one, that can teach me, 
the way to be the best of myself 
You are the one, that can touch my...

She broke many fragile hearts in the past, 
Her wild-child smile captivated many men, 
Her beautiful eyes look straight into their souls, 
Her cold demeanor then lured them, even more so. 

She was as cool...

Tender Moments 

Tender moments after loving you,
I looked into your eyes, reached out
...... and touched your soul,
I looked into your heart and saw your pain, 
I probed into your mind, behind your sorrow, 
I looked...

After The Rain
Waiting For The Rainbow
 
After the rain there are gray clouds,
Floating around in the blue sky,
 
Alone in the country and thinking of you,
Wishing you were here in my world,
Mend my heartache and...

I Will Be There
When yellow moon hungs  over the blue lagoon, 
And native bird sings its poetic tune, 
By late June, all swoon of summer heat. 

When tall trees are free of golden leaves,...

For Vivian, there was peace.
For her photos; much to say.
It's not that Vivian didn't try.
Vivian didn't play.

To sell her photos; only dreams.
Vivian's wait pursue.
And in her death
soon came through.

Her photos up for auction,
one could not...

LONELY COUNTRY ROAD

Lonely country road,
where are you, taking me,
open sky, vast land to see,
view of snow-covered mountains,
lonely country road,
up the hills and down the valleys.
 
A picture perfect work of art,
winding through the vineyards,
blue sky...

 In My Dream 
You smile widely, so bright, 
Makes my heart swell with such delight.

Your laughter give me pure joy,
I'm smitten, without being coy.

Your embrace is warm and soft with comfort,
You are, yes, you...
