Lento Maez Poems

Alarmed at the sound
It was a baying hound
Running in the yard
It was breathing hard
...

I hope your day went well
I tried to cast a spell
On you
My magic dried
...

I had a choice
I made a deal
I didn’t know
My heart she’d steal
...

She’s back you see
How can this be
She wanted to be free
Yet she came to me
...

I once was a soul
Whose life had told
Of thoughts unthought
Of dreams untold
...

A wounded soul waits
It’s in dire straits
The world feels unjust
Who can one trust
...

I await your call
Until the fall
The turning leaves
Shimmer in the breeze
...

We climb most hills not knowing why
We struggle and stumble until we die
What lesson is this that we have to learn
Be careful because the tide will turn
...

The streets of my mind are vacant tonight
The store fronts of my memories are closed
The sidewalks of my dreams are empty
The fountain of my hopes flows no more
...
