Dumb Youth---Poems of the Past

“Snow”

Snow is cotton falling from the sky.
So soft so tender and so very light.
It covers the earth, makes it all white.
Trees are filled with snow.
Gives all the forest a wintry glow.
With winds that blow them by & by.
Animals go into sleep.
While others stay out & think how neat.
So if I go outside & see something falling
You know , It’s just old man winter blowin’ up snow.

“Run”

Open, Open, Open wide.
Let me in so I can hide.
Their after me, after me and they are quick.
So open up because they know I’m slick.
I can hide under a train & I can hide there to
So let me in, they are onto me like glue.

"Summer Breeze"

Being loved by you
Is a dream come true.
To look into your eyes
As the time passes by
Is like a Summer Breeze.

“Possession”

Love me and hold me
Until time expires.
Make me yours, a
Prisoner of love and
Passion. Time does
Not exist when I’m
With you. Let’s start
A relationship that will
Never die. Win the war
And the prize will be
In your
Possession.

Friends come and friends go
But the true ones stay, no
matter where you go. They
are there when you are down
But what’s better they’re
there to give you that smile.

Friends come and Friends go
But the true ones stay...
In your heart... you know!

There are more, but they are so personal, they will never see the light of day until I am dead.
