Short Gresham Poems

Taken aback by a moment in time
His full lips pressed against mine
Over and over, drenched in ecstacy
My way was his way
and that made it easy
Say what you will, this trip is to tease me

Lovers



Lovers come and lovers go

One on one, some keep score

Violence does not exist

Every night ended with a kiss

Reaping the benefits of a present love

Sends thrils and chills, one never tires of

There is no need to look and stare
Take a picture, if you dare
Life is what you make of it
It gives back what you put out
It’s like a boomerang
Whether it’s joy, sadness, or a big shout
Think about it before you act
Know of a surety, it’s coming back

I make haste to run to you
After twenty years, I know it's true
Love so fierce, it makes me sweat
Daydreaming of you only makes me wet
Dimples so deep, they are still alarming
One gold tooth, so bright, it' charming

The word of God is my pill of life
It keeps me happy, joyful, out of strife
My strength is renewed like the eagle's
I'm free to soar, and live abundantly
My cup runneth over, so I give abundantly
My pill of life is medicine to my bones
It also reminds me, I'm never alone





My pill of Life

My gifts, you wanted me to conceal
Only to you were they to be revealed
You thought I was a flirt and nothing more
You were intrigued and couldn't ignore
My personality you could not handle
After the split, you then realized
My gifts were from above and not to be internalized











I'm more than what you thought

It’s In the Jeans

Adrienne LaCont’e Gresham






Confidently knowing it’s in the jeans

The color was vibrant, in the seams

The faded look of them was dim

They seemed to have been painted on him

Women were starring as they walked by

He thought he heard someone sigh

“Those look good” someone exclaimed

“Let’s catch up, we might hear the name”...

Childhood Memory-Making Sand




Playing in a yard filled with dirt and rocks

It’s not the best place to wear flip flops

Being creative, we found some screened-wire

No need for a hammer, screw-driver, or pliers

Only needed tools were wire and hands

Sift the dirt and rocks through

In the end, there is only sand

Wow! drinking, smoking and partying all night
Mini skirts, low cut blouses and pumps too
Look at what turning twenty-one can do
Coming home later and it's my choice
Waking up early to almost no voice
Time for work now, cause I'm grown
Can't wait til it's over so I can go home...

We laughed so long and so loud
Our only witnesses were the clouds
You jumped up and shouted, Yes!
That was you, at your best

We thought you had snagged a bass
It could have been a whale
That brim was so tiny
In unison, we all fell

Thinking back on that time
Finding this beautiful treasure trove
Good thing we caught four brims today
We can now fire up the stove

The Love of My Dad



When I was a child, you combed my hair for school

I never played hooky, because that was your rule

You helped with my homework

Math was a trial

But you stuck with me, because I am your child

You never gave up, no matter how long it took

You taught me to clean, and also to cook

You’re my dad and I am so proud

I love you, and I say it out loud

Terry, as I called him, was ten years old when I bought him
No power steering, that, I could handle
No air conditioning, now that was a shamble
I tried fixing his air, but he said no
He drank all of the freon and said let's go
With my head out the window, we drove along
One day the brakes went out, and when he finally stopped, I walked home
I reluctantly put him up for sale
because he was my first car, my toyota tercel

A man in the park, playing ball with his son
Unaware that he's being watched, they go on and on
In his sons' eyes there is just the two of them
In his own eyes, there is only love for him
The sun is setting now and neither wants to stop
There is only yawning now and the laughter has ceased
He holds his son close as he quietly sleeps
This is sexy to me as his love has flourished
It is evident the child is well nourished

When (Clive Staples) C. S. Lewis
met Joy Gresham, a Jewess, 
he had questioned his faith in God.
She gently proved his doubt was flawed. 

Later in his book, …Grief Observed
Lewis writes of what Joy preserved.
Changed by what he had learned of pain,
from his wife who gave him free rein.


for Dr. Ram's contest  " Husbands are in
heaven whose wives scold not"
a quatrain with an air of clerihew


I recommend a study of their  brief marriage -
C.S. Lewis and Joy Davidman Gresham....
