Rhyme & Verse Four poems by James W. Bray Jr.
Hallowed Ground
I lay in a field of marble flowers surrounded by my brothers and sisters tears of the unrecalled echo around this solemn place carried on the wind kissing every soul
and washing away the grime that has formed on the marble as days go by
This is Hallowed Ground bought and paid for by the lives
of the forever young I’ll never ask why or why me but did I do enough funerals are for the living so man can feel good about himself isn’t man tired of feeling good
Thin Blue Line
It’s a thin blue line between life and death It’s a thin blue line
that says no one will hurt you tonight
It’s a thin blue line that guards the streets all the while you sleep It’s a thin blue line I honor today
men and women willing to lay down their lives for strangers
It’s a thin blue line
that protects all from danger an oath taken by some It’s a thin blue line
I Don’t
I don’t want to write for it brings me pain for it brings me tears for it brings me heartache
day, November 5, 6:30pm; free-$5. San Diego Art Institute, 1439 El Prado. (BALBOA PARK)

bathroom’s over there.” BY TIM BROOKES, JUNE 26, 1997

I don’t want to write for it reminds me of what I have lost what I don’t have what I want back
I don’t want to write but I have to it brings me pain it brings me heartache it reminds me of what I have lost for it clears my soul
Beeps
I enter the room to the sound of beeps coming from the machines
that surround the person in front of me the person
that brought me into this world I pray that the beeps do not stop
she looks up at me and says I am going to die how can I respond
when all my breath has been taken away I muster a halfhearted you are going to be fine
but I know she has made her decision as I leave the room I tell her I love her
and will see her tomorrow I know that will not happen I leave to the sound of the beeps
