Gerry Legister Poems

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,
...

Pain came in the place where years had stood
Unaffected by new hazards and old traumas,
Engulfing dreams we had when times were good,
Counting the cost and the sum total life gross.
...

After night manna entwined the morning
We awake to the finest sound of language,
Continental breakfast is the first meal taken,
Bridge the gap between hunger and courage.
...

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.
...

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.
...

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.
...

Every second minute of the day
Excitement entices the eternal passions,
It is the desire to mate and burn away,
The night in uncanny positions.
...

Blessings upon them conceived,
And the rich becomes empty,
By the root of evil they are deceived.

The humble rejoice,
...

There stood before me
Is the object of my desire?
Anxiety running through me,
I feel a flame of loving fire.
...

Inside our soul among the glittering choice,
Lives unconquered morality in versatile mind,
We can all find our voice to tell others about paradise,
With inspiration and reasons we don’t understand.
...
