"loomis" poems
The only child of Harold Loomis Pound often wandered 'round the castle--
For Harold Loomis Pound owned a great big Alacazar.
The only child of Harold Loomis Pound,
When he grew up--was no longer a child,
He had Harold Loomis Pound's great big Alacazar:
Burned down
Stricken
Ruined
Lost
The only man of Harold Loomis Pound never quite liked wandering again.
Who knows why?

Your arms and legs are strong as a grizzly bear
Your eyes reflect your loving, tender heart
To love one so broken, yes I do dare
No greater torture, for us to be apart
Being always protected by your strong arms
And wondering to be able to look after you
I am helpless against your devilish charms
Your love is deep as the great, dark ocean
Julian, your heart is mine to safely hold
Running towards your arms, open and welcoming
Your soul I protect, if I may be so bold
Our lives will be lived together, loving
Yours and mine, our hearts tethered forever
I will love you forever and ever

Five steps ahead, Five steps behind.
Five steps to a smile, Five steps to laughter…
Five steps.
Five steps to stare at the ground, the sky-anywhere else but here.
Five steps to ignore.
Five steps to pretend that you don’t remember.
How sad, these Five steps,
who destruct friendship and create distance.
Five steps transform;
Into miles.
Into years.
Into strangers.
Five steps.
Five steps to change.

Like Batman
Emily Dickinson was reclusive
Like Superman
A Fortress of Solitude
I spend much time alone
But I am not a hermit
Drive my son to work
Eat at the little diner
Unde Malum?
Tormented Saint Augustine
Tormented Camus
Writing often ensued
I visited Amherst
This World Is Not Conclusion
Mabel Loomis Todd
World of strange designer
Wild Nights
