Sara Militello Poems

The Best Left

Time alone allows for reflection
upon events that flee too fast:
...

Dearest, it's time to lift our glass
without recourse to guile.
This moment too shall pass
in just a little while.
...

A Modern Paradox

A man of letters can only be true
to his art or his culture
...

On Being Human

Man's a long way from his tree,
from the narrow range of his cave,
...

On a moonlit calmed evening shore,
a breeze wafting over the moon's
rosy haze and traffic noise fading
to a muted roar there
...

Madness

They sit stupefied, the mad.
Staring into some middle place
...

Chain Link

They say a chain's only as strong
as its weakest link:
...

My Way

I yearn to say 'I love you' but
the word's too oft' profaned
...

Paean to Love

Oh, that I could offer
a proper paean to our love
...

Hellbent

To a cry of 'heed' unheard
is added the one heard unheeded
...
