Poems. By Stephen Chaleff

Ray

Your gaze like starlight
Your touch like silk
Your kiss, sweet
Your love, My soul

Rays

In my sorrow
In my pain
I felt love
Striking my heart
Powerful
Love
Of Yours
I feel Joy and pain subsides

 

Put Something On


Clothes are meant to be worn
Not Sheltered
For sometime
When?
Another time
Yeah, keep something nice
But
Wear it
Or
Give it to someone who will
When?
Soon
Wear it out
Enjoy it
Move on

Endless Clutter
Sheltered no more

(Hey! how do I look)

Dogs In Agreement Detrimentally



Remember that Dog?
The one in the cartoon
Running between the larger dogs legs
"yeah, yeah, dat’s right boss"

Small

Dismissed

Do we see ourselves
Puny in stature
Do we see ourselves
Always afraid of being trod on
Stepped on
Victimized

Struggle to exist
The big dogs have their way
While we
Run in agreement through
Pylons of flesh

We accept the rejected
And
Reject what we've accepted

And

Move

On
