Barry A. Lanier Poems

Mistress of passion,
Steal thy eye.
Fluid with flesh,
Bodies to mesh.
...

1861-1865

For all that we take with us,
We leave so much behind.
...

Over mountains and valleys
Soaring the skies in view
Random truths and wisdom
Coming only in soltitude
...

I
Love
You
I
...

Where two hearts meet,
And know the destination.
Where two minds meet,
Knowing all of the thoughts.
...

Once I looked right into, a rainbow's eye
Sparkling spectrums of beauty, adorning a sky
Sheated in pastels of love, and ravishing flow
Delivering a promise, God wanted me to know
...

Lacing out those lines
While capturing young minds
Diction tailored to trust
By Yoonoss Peerbocus
...

A small table in the bedroom
Folding chairs in the living room
A cheap Olivetti hand me down
Sometimes it works fine
...

Nothing lasts forever
I've always known that truth
But never knew how true it was
'Til I was losing you
...

A rose makes a woman smile
Fills her heart with sweet delight
Reminds her how a love should be
And keeps her warm at night
...
