Marilyn McIntyre Poems
| ARTVILLA Poetry ©Marilyn McIntyre |
Acts of Kindnessthe time we found
the magazine
against the trees
naked
black and white
the time
of rains
drugged baby
kitten cries
cupped hands
saved what
we could
the time the words
were gone
friends
stripped them
held them
the time when
anger lashed
devouring
you stayed
and loved
the kindnesses
the kindness
the kind
Need youneed you now
at this time
halfway
along to never
bittersweet
and longing
go together
like a thrumming
like a drumming
in my chest
the pain
longing, wishing, hoping, crying
bring it home again.
The breaththe breath
it pains
leaves
returns
hope and longing
i want to believe
i need to believe
i have to believe
my soul says believe
my heart knows
Dear John Letterdear john
if you're
a liar
now i know
please don't fall.
