John Powers Poems

i want to say that i am
only a heartbroken man
that after all i've been through
i could still be able to love you
...

I've only my warmth to give you
but what good is that
with your big fur coat?
how could you ever chill
...

A lone girls foot prints in the moonlit snow
with nothing behind her telling her where to go
the road up ahead is white with ice
though the moon will guide her through the night
...

i stepped into the dark to grab a light,
and saw above me the moon in the night.
i stood alone in the cold and wondered what i am,
all the rest had gone to sleep, just shy of 5 am.
...

The sun is set
and the town is quiet
the birds are gone
and the streets are clear
...

I see your palm
lit by candle light
warm and golden
I'm with you tonight
...

I want you
pump the body full of seed
until you cry it out
of your beautiful blue eyes
...

Hi
and look away
I look to you
and your eyes close
...

the night is quiet
and pregnant kinetic
cool breezes and songs
in the air
...

They close their eyes and feel
each other's breath on their skin
At last vulnerable to touch
there are no secrets, no sin
...
