Charles Tiffin Clegg Poems

Snap Cap Success' or '32 Ounces From Heaven'

Oh how I miss that old sound from the can
It's a snap. shhh, that smell and bubbles abound
...

Death worth mourning happened
The light and joy are gone
The clouds are dark and threatening
For hearts a cold, wet day
...

Lovely Loretta's full of love
Everyone she hugs knows this
Everyone is lifted up
Lovely Loretta's full of love
...

She seemed so far away, yet here
Her love, her warmth, was there, yet here
Here with me she made the world alive, renewed
She gave birth in my heart, the babies name is Hope
...

It was a warm and happy wind
It gently made my skin alive, a dryness charged with love
My hair was tousled playfully, freedom for this part of time
My ears and eyes felt the springtime joy
...

Nancy called out that cold and rainy night
It was clear her drinking slurred her words
But she still communicated her lonely scary plight
She wanted to be held and warmed in the frozen air
...

Here, take a look at this, I want your understanding
harsh, objective, loving I don't really care
I see you brought a lens with you and a microscope
there is scale to weigh it and a densitometer
...

Phonons Entombed

No echo from the silence
a void beyond explaining
...

sayonara is just a word and with love a sad word
with out love its an empty word
but with you its even more
...
