4 More Poems Michael Perry
“ A Still Life”
Flowers suspend
In bas relief
Vivid colors exploding
On canvas, smeared
Slighted, crudely exposed
The artist reflects
On details undone
his work incomplete
through frustration
he cries out
his concentration now broken
He becomes disturbed, perplexed
as he leaves stacks of canvas
lining the wall
Everything now feels spoiled, contrite
Refusing to breathe a life
through sweat and tears
wounding him spiritually
he seriously contemplates taking his life
he says to be famous as Van Gogh
after he cut off his ear
Caustic words
Burn flesh
Fanned by fires aroused
Scorching embers hot once
Not easily put out
From painful encounters shared
Leaving souls and each other in doubt
Now finding solace in our restraint
Neglecting ones self
For the sake of another
Is tantamount.
Hunter’s Moon
Yellow stained hangs suspended
Lonely..darkness falls
Cursed stars spill out of a blanket of night
Stillness transposed, giving silent creatures
their cue
A barn owl’s somber call quickens
as the heart of a squirrel’s tail twitches
Making way through thickets tumble
Nixing escape from perils flight
December’s petrified wood leaves nature
standing dormant for a time
keeping no secrets tonight
Once dawn breaks, the morning mist
hangs stubborn masking the forest façade
from view.

“I Don’t Deserve”
I told the kids
We were almost there
But we had so much further still
Hunger belies and their sleepy eyes stare
I told the kids just a little further now
I should have told them right then and there
Showing me their love every single day
as we traveled further and further on our way
with a wink or a smile just the same
Saying Dad “It’s ok” we know we’ll get there
we believe in you
I held their little hands knowing
I don’t deserve what God
in his infinite wisdom
has planned for us
still they continue to believe
in everything I say even
if my own doubts seem
to get the better of me.
