Gerry Legister Poems

Sweat dripping down into a lingering forge line
To wrinkled brow nested firm on the fretted face,
Through the deep fog into the dark murky mind,
Feeling an aching pain the heart must embrace.
...

When Spiders camouflage they can eat
In places where they don’t belong
Their silence propose a web of deceit
Beautiful thing arthropods air breathing.
...

I was not there in time to say farewell,
Or hold you so close to love, till my heart tires,
I was too late when I came, anguish had already fell,
And hoist the pain to smear the sum of fears.
...

Some thought they met God, and good relations
But divine paradise requires greater expectation,
Than the zeal men preach when they have an itch,
They travel a road not paved with good intentions,
...

When friends have gone, memories shall not,
Be unkind as the fragrant flowers that fade,
With vast images moving hands and foot,
And sinking through into where grief reside.
...

From the lower clouds gently falls
A soft spring rain rejuvenating the air,
Descend from the sky small miracle
That we believed renew the atmosphere.
...

I have found today a delicious passion in the kitchen,
The taste tells humanity about the game of thanksgiving.
Regular family dining has given a palate of fascination,
Generous helpings seasons ingredients for good cooking.
...

Every day distraction of unfamiliar faces
Their gods were at opposite poles,
Naomi spent lonely days gardening,
She did not understand what was happening.
...

Every sixty seconds spent waiting,
On the reality to obtain promises,
Could be a minute of inheritance gone?
Never to come back and take chances.
...

I have taken another a breath
since we last spoke
And I have given birth
Unveiling a new life to earth
...
