My Poems - A Poem by Dominic Windram

My poems document these turbulent times.

My poems are lamentations to the death

Of the Spirit in the West. Yet they seek

To revive a sense of the vintage blood;

That pulses wildly through the veins of trees,

Flowers and leaves. Sometimes they burn brightly

With the fires of ancient prophecy.

Other times, they hint at peace and silence.

My poems are small epiphanies amidst

Great, raging institutions. They cannot

Be quelled by the rampant powers that be.

For true poetry, it seems, sets us free.
