Wright Palafox Poems

Now far apart, a question I’d pose,
Of what was, is and could ever be,
Besotted, beloved I’d hastily suppose,
For soon, hopefully, you’d see,
...

You smile, and you wait, and you pause longer still
And held me stunned against my will
My body unable to execute such acts I array
Your enchantment’s held no sway
...

Far behind and falling ever farther,
Into your eyes I’d gaze,
Through and from yours deeper,
I found myself a daze
...

A twinge I felt, entrenched beneath,
Within my chest, this hidden crease,
Through my lost heart, the pang would seethe,
From these smiles they’d gracefully cease,
...

I know the past is painful,
I know love denied us both,
Such memories this wistful,
For which our hearts would loath,
...

Weary and cold, I’d teeter to and fro,
Within these woods, evergreen they’d grow,
Upon this grass, the mist it crept,
A bed of thorns from which I slept,
...

Velvety, vast, the heavens would bear,
Stars which dazzle, glisten, and gleam,
Elegant, jovial, persona so rare,
For evermore you’d vividly seem,
...

The angel heaven let me think was her,
So far away I’d turn,
For her wings evermore untrue,
In the very end I’d learn—
...

From the very moment I saw you,
I knew—somehow—it was your smile
Which denied me sleep of countless nights…
I can’t stop thinking of you, even for a while…
...

I sit by that window pane,
Gazing upon the star-lit sky…
As my heart begins to drift,
I see YOU and I…
...
