Jay Bradley Poems

I can't forget the song of yesterday, her eyes,
Never to be seen by mine, wont yet shalln't define,
Blessed Athena perched, mayhap a serpent in twine,
Blisters her hair in shine, ember as the flame cries;
...

Morgenlicht erscheint am Gesicht,
Das jung und so kalt ist,
Die Ausdrueck davon ist nicht klar,
Und wenn die schlauen Schatten spielen sollten,
...

We lay in the parking lot, trying to find God,
I did not know her, but I held her as a friend,
We shared passion and serenity as we'd bend,
So Zeus praised us holy, his gift the lightning rod;
...

The gift I give to each new heart
Is the time which never became,
For if we jet through and beyond space,
We miss it-Hailey, never forget the name;
...

So sayeth the sage that lo nature is not without order,
But it knows the realm, between sky and earth no border,
So exists the Kingdom of Heaven only in those who define,
What is written in the scripture, that is heart and divine;
...

I see your face a contradiction,
A myth so mighty in musing,
Your lips a cave of perfect diction,
From whence words whimper in choosing;
...

They made the fire so they want it to spread
the fire, the fire, the fire
They fan the flame to the forest bed
and the flames grew
...

The story of young men and women blossoms under the Devilmoon's shade,
This is where stars hide because gilded boulevards envy them so:
Where nights illuminate themelves in the crossroads of brick-bedecked corridors,
Where one might see hanged gallows and galleries of the heart soul and spirit of the happily hungry,
...

Mary's a strange sort of lass
Mary's got it, call it sass
She's like a tiger in my tree,
Resting on limbs to punish me
...

Bare trees
They line the road and sway in the breeze
Dead leaves
They lie on the road and as the traffic flows
...
