Michael Bogle Poems

Finally, I can hold my head up and not look down,
Finally, I can walk without crawling or stumbling,
Finally, I can run and not trip or fall
Finally, I can bring myself to face myself and not cry

Today, I looked, and saw, and noticed.

Today, I searced, and began to seek,
That new thing.

In her eyes, I saw her soul dance,
I saw her eyes bounce with joy,
I saw her smile, so wide,
I saw her face, happy, without pain.

I did not know if it was too late, or if i had been seen,
Like the time, when i was small, i took the nickel from the jar,
I thought for sure i had been seen, but no i was away, i was far.

Looking into the space,
Looking into the time,
For moments to call mine.
...

I looked in her eyes and saw a loveliness, and sereneness.
I looked in her eyes and saw a loneliness, and bliss.
I saw deep within her soul, the love and the pain.
I saw deep within her soul, the hate and dispair.
...

Today, I looked, and saw, and noticed.

Today, I searced, and began to seek,
That new thing.
...

What I sought
What I thought, I wanted,
I did not, I only desired,
To touch a memory,
...

I wonder if at all,
Any of the time,
What life would be like,
Without words to rhyme.
...

When I look at your face, I see a face of purity, when i
Look in your eyes, I see eyes of innocence, when I look at
You, I see you, as you were meant to be, when you look at
Me, what do you see, do you see me as pure, do you see me as
