George C. Gates Poems

I can remember waiting
For what seemed like the longest time in my life
For the bus to arrive.
...

Her love is oil;
My heart's a fire,
And it needs her oil to burn.
When she is gone,
...

There is a fire burning
Inside my chest;
Without her love it grows.
She cannot smell the smoke
...

They say 'the sky's the limit, '
But there's no walls beyond the stars.
I can soar outside the Milky Way
Should I choose to shoot that far.
...

I don't know if she wants me;
I would ask, but I'm scared.
I want her so bad,
Yet I've not even dared
...
