Michael Reston Poems

They bade you softly,
They bade you so -
'Do not go, do not go, '
...

Your intimate wish -
Would that I hadn't seen
Oh the colour of crush -
As a veil
...

enchanted light and a green willowy dew
the crisp white flower, a star of venus on your brow
your eyes as elven as they are now
your body as fully formed and femalleable
...

For every sign of premeditation
Comes the line of circulation
And the speed of levitation
Sells me sweet intoxication
...

Immediately, my eyes feel like they want to cry.
Not a sad or joyous cry, but full of emotion
Then exhilaration fills my body and lungs.
I breathe in, and then let my feelings exhale.
...

It begins.
It is powerful, strong, moving.
And interesting.
I can feel the lone horn inside my soul.
...

I’ve been in love before tonight,
but never has love seemed quite so right
Darling you’ve made me see the light,
I must thank you for that
...

Afraid of letting go? Let me tell you a little something…
I’m not going anywhere in particular

A little touch of spring in your step and the air
...

Like the murky sea by the pine trees.
When the moon, gleaming full bright silver,
revealed the sea to be as deep as it once appeared,
the forest wept.
...

A bud you were when first I found
You lying naked on the ground
And timid and so shy of face
...
