STANLEY PACION Poems

Though much between us
May seem to have grown distant,
As you see, I am readily able to reach out and touch you.
My feelings steadfast, my heart apparent,
...

FOX RIVER LOVE SONG


Sky, rain, wind, and the moon's glory when full,
...

Children watch me run through the streets,
And wonder, what is it all about, my hurrying.

My eyes push forward,
...

Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye,
Since dawn of humanity, since time immemorial,
Playwrights and poets have often repeated,
Proclaimed similar sentiment and theme!
...

I have an idea. Why not today,
Even now, this very moment,
However late the hour,
We could act as if
...

I shall travel to Hyderabad,
And there select for you the very best of pearls.

The stars have already wrought anklets to adore your feet.
...

Out in Arizona my Dad grew roses.
He embraced the great merit,
Loved to say,
How he enjoyed cultivating his own garden.
...

Thank you, Bacchus. You let me go,
Freed me from your treacherous hold.

The enemy's army caught our ranks unaware;
...

Youth’s fresh face notably declines.

We have embarked upon a long journey;
Our train runs slow,
...

How are you to be a great poet,
When you've got no inspiration,
You're tired, it's late, and
Night after night your mind runs blank?
...
