Gerry Legister Poems

I pass by your house today,
And in passing I saw your shadow appear,
Then turn as if to stay, and half disappear,
Retreat slowly away.
...

I see a Jamaican woman,
dancing to reggae music,
She is looking more attractive,
Taken by different shapes of the body,
...

An airy tune play flavors we adore
Generate the breathe of vibrant sound,
Tap politely crescendo shoes on the floor
Dance stance move lightly off the ground.
...

If I could wish for one last day,
To look upon the house stood on the hill,
Before the memories slowly go away,
With my suffering dream silent and still.
...

An airy tune play flavors we adore
Generate the breathe of vibrant sound
Tap politely crescendo shoes on the floor
Shifting dance weight from off the ground.
...

As the malignity of poor health increases
My forehead adds more concern creases.
To already vast amassing lines on my face,
Hanging bags start to form in most places.
...

Through many dangers toils and risky snares,
humanity has come far from a great distance,
Mumbling and stumbling down cruel stairs
The adventures of youth taste the first race.
...

You cross my path today
In solitude and silence
Then you Smile, and floated away,
Giving my heart a brief indulgence.
...

In this life we can walk on water
When all our work is done,
With miracles perhaps you have forgotten
The earth too; will walk on clouds to come.
...

As the afternoon fades away into a silhouette,
A light wakes the soul that risen from slumber,
And voices in the night drifts into a calmer beat
Of footsteps tapping on the threshold of the door.
...
