Jack Smith Poems

New york, New york
the life I spent; the love I learned
I did warm you,
you did embrace me
...

Sometimes when are you busy with life,
busy preoccupied with today and its cares,
does not something or someone you see,
just hit you square in the eye,
...

A song full of Love,

a prayer full of Hope,
...

can dreams define a person?
can they tell you a story about him?
can they bare his soul and lay it open?
show what it's like to be the man he is?
...

Tried to soar into the skies on my own today
found myself wanting for I crashed and burnt
thought that I could take on the stars myself
He gently whispered that it takes two
...

As I trudge through the pages of my life
I pass through faces, cold and hurt,
and glance at places, old and empty,
life, it seems, is more like an endless winter of loneliness
...

Who are you, Lord? ? ?
won't you reveal more of thyself to me...

for am just a mortal, caught up within myself;
...

living... I am living my life right now..
or am I?

screaming... I am screaming my thoughts inside me..
...

New York City cried for us yesterday,
And I got drenched in her tears.
When my glasses got blurred by the water,
I removed them and wiped off the raindrops,
...

am on the road again
heading where? god knows where
does it matter where I land?
or does it matter how I get there?
...
