I

I fear.
I cry.
I hope.
You care.
I live.


I,by Paul Cales, © 1992

 

My Dove

Ah, my dove
pure and white.
My love, my life, my thought – forgive me.


My Dove , by Paul Cales, © 1986

 

Paradise

tropic summer green
plush foliage, brightness
waterfall of glass


Paradise, by Paul Cales, © 1977

 

White

freezing polar winds
ice mountains, desert of snow
expanse wasteland of ice
nothing can survive


White, by Paul Cales, © 1977

 

'Lone

With tonight, my fate is sealed,
It is the night, which was revealed,
and for today I’ll still stay ‘lone
all on my own, chilled to the bone.

 


'Lone, by Paul Cales, © 1984

 

the Fate of Humanity

Journey on, white knight,
Journey on to justice …
From earliest dawn, your daring brilliance blazes a glorious trail
toward eternity.
When dusk at last falls, brining the death of the day,
all mankind will be to blame


The Fate of Humanity,by Paul Cales, © 1985

 

Transcendence

Past place.
Past time.
Past life.
These experiences we encounter now are merely
preparation for future tests.


Transcendence, by Paul Cales, © 1987

 

Finished Couplet

"Until the morrow, we part my dear,"
But come tomorrow, he’ll not be here.


Finished Couplet, by Paul Cales, © 1990

 

Mask

There’s a smile on my face, but I’m only pretending.
For my heart and my mind, there’s pain never ending.


Mask, by Paul Cales, © 1992
