MacGregor Tagliaferro Poems

Thunder rumbles, lightnin' flashes closer
Wind picks up bringin' cooler air
Porch swing sways back and forth
Unchained Melody plays on the radio
...

Love consists in this:

That two solitudes,
come together
...

This to cling to:
We are together
Now, years later
In a dream-heavy place
...

Were I as witty as Wilde
No doubt a better poet
Would I be and these words
I write would wind their way
...

And a softness came from her touch
And I set aside my old tragedies
And let the touch fill me
Full to the bone
...

Zelda was right
Which makes love
The highest purpose
The reason for bein'
...

The man who wrote Legends of the Fall
Wrote; 'Don't fall in love as if fallin' off a dock at night'
But when you are struck by the thunderbolt
How do you not fall?
...

As is the case with her,
She swept into the room
And the light and everything
That mattered was drawn to her
...

Face to the sun
Breeze in my hair
Toes in the sand
Waves lap at them
...

If I Asked

If I asked you to be all mine
What would you say
...
