LIFE'S IMMIGRANT STILL WANDERING
Life’s Immigrant still wandering
By james a. galgano
Coming by land bridge then across inclement sea
In search of game, then fame and a new destiny
Escaping drought, famine, social turbulence and persecution
With diverse backgrounds defining variable desire
Upon landing culture, class and gender intersected
Hierarchies developed, deconstructed and were redirected
Power struggles arose and...
SHE MAY
SHE MAY
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
NO STARDUST IN THESE SWOLLEN EYES
TEARDROPS SING TOO FAMILIAR TUNES
TO SEE BEYOND SOME MUSAK MELODY
WAITING FOR HER TO SPEAK
WHILE SILENCE CREEPS GENTLY INTO A WRINKLED SMILE
HOLDING BACK THE MOUNTING YEARS
BLACK AND WHITE RAINBOWS KNOW HER NAME
THEY LAUGH ALOUD WHILE SHE SINGS
TO MOONBEAMS BLINKING IN UNSHADOWED SUNLIGHT
COUGHING QUIETLY TO CLEAR THEIR...
YOUR DESTINY MINE
Your destiny mine
By james a. galgano
Your divine vision fell upon my searching eyes like redemptions rain
Quenching my endless thirst for your delicious lips rapturous divine
The succulent delicacy of your inescapable lure lain upon your angel face
Where my desire and devotion remains aroused to savor your eternal grace
Like a dream an unanswered prayer you came to me once upon a time
Since the...
HOPEFUL DESIRE
Hopeful desire
James a. galgano
If ever as I have seen you pass within my vision yet beyond my dreams come true
Where the thought of you well beyond my aroused devoted reach wishing you mine
Well beyond distant skies where my dreams you mine forever desire remain to be
If not now then beyond some elusive design of your love eternally encompassing me
Such longing loving embrace drawing me into...
LONGING YOU
Longing you
By james a. galgano
One last longing glimpse among cumulous clouds where my hopes desire
Forever remain well beyond reach where hopes aroused too often preach
To the converted where I hope and pray your loving embrace eternally resides
Upon elusive prayer within the feathers of your winsome wonder I adore
Which I hope and pray will one day carry me and my devotion ,so implored
As I...
SURRENDER TO YOU
Surrender to you
By james a. galgano
Her amazing wonder her delicious smile
Cast each heart a thunder for the longest while
She appeared unannounced as a cherished dream come true
Her loveliness embedded every desire servile as if on cue
As if once upon a time this dream was meant to be
Forever locked within your loving embrace for eternity
Her luscious lips a sacrament of which you longed to...
solitude
SOLITIUDE
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
ANOTHER QUIET DAY SPENT
IN A WAYWARD CAFE
CONTEMPLATING THE MEMORIES
WITH EACH SCARRING REMINDER
AS WELL AS THE DEFENSIVE REJOINDER
RATIONALIZING THE IRREVERSIBLE ACTIONS
MISSPENT MOMENTS GONE AWRY
WITH EACH SIP OF TEA
A GLANCING PASSERBYE
WITH THEIR OWN MEMORIES
NEVER MEETING EYE TO EYE
NOR NOTICING THE EXPRESSIONS
OF EACH TURNED AWAY FACE
THERE IS...
RENTED ROOM OF SORROW
Rented room of sorrow
By james a. galgano
In a room of rented dreams and wherefores
Clings the lonely replies filled with there fore
And moments of what will be empty and alone
Unable to see through the tears of sorrowful rain
That quench no one’s thirst not even these lilies of pain
That mark your unmarked grave scarred upon my mind
In a graveyard of despair my life has easily become
Where in...
SWEPT AWAY
SWEPT AWAY
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
HERE WITHIN THESE WAYWARD EYES
SO MESMERIZED UPON YOUR VISON WELL DEFINED
SO EASILY TO REMIND WHAT MIGHT Have been overlooked
Had you not smiled so wonderfully in beauty one wishes only to behold for longer then a second look before your image looks away. My heart sways in rapturous unease
Hoping you will respond again please to bridge this emotional...
to the warmth of you
To the warmth of you
By james a. galgano
Into the writhing wings of this angel softly
This wandering soul longs to fly
To taste the blossom of her sparkling smile
Wondering willingly lost upon her twinkling eyes
As if an emotional castaway for a seeming eternity
Within the welcoming warmth of her hypnotic laughter
A sweet serene melody her words a lullaby to me
Where this hungering heart forever...
BEGUILED
Beguiled
By james a. galgano
Easy on the eyes strolling past my face
Each flowing motion of curvaceous beauty
Captivates completely every focused gaze
Arousing every inhibition and percolating desire
Like a natural blaze of lovely she has set this soul on fire
every breeze of her passing gait bewilders unfazed
causing these flames of desire within to lose control
bewitching and bedeviling this...
INTO DESCENDING NIGHT
Into descending night
By james a. galgano
Who is the one never to respond to prayers one never deserves
Upon beaded breath never left to exhale to determine or describe
A clear explanation or some verbiage divulged but never accepted
Upon wayward photographs of smiles one feels to often redirected
To savor each alluring image that procures never-ending devotion
Like a wayward wander adrift upon...
BORROWED TIME
Borrowed time
By james a. galgano
If you happen to have the time to respond to ones every direction
Life love lost without any direction knowing full well there is no perfection
But to waver in what was hoped for and lost so easily once upon a time
When within all this muck and ire desire is nothing more but another’s disdain
To wander through all mountains never passed into a valley where...
IF DREAMS CAME TRUE
If dreams came true
By james a. galgano
To gaze upon your smiling eyes divine
Makes ones heart percolate supreme
Like caught within a heavenly dream
From which one never wants to awake
Paradise would most assuredly be found
If by chance to awake beside loving embrace
A breakfast upon your lips loving taste would be
Blissful divine if ones wish ever came true
To earn your trust win your...
INCLEMENT NIGHT
Inclement night
By james a. galgano
What if upon your beaded brow I found my eternal love assured
Into your welcoming loins spread wide-open passion was secured
Would this be an explanation enough to welcome your love to me
If by happenstance your passion and devotion invited true love to see
Ever blink upon your pleated page within your loving embrace of my rage
Despite all lies one communicated...
ONCE UPON DISTant time
Once upon distant time
By james a. galgano
It would never be this way so they ascertain with many adjectives to spare
Just one fleeting glimpse of you your angel eyes I longed to hypnotize me
Beyond compare I succumbed to the thought your love would surrender assured
While my aged loins longed to resign themself to you as you are so lovely and pure
How could someone as old and as foolish as me...
MOTHERLESS DAY
Motherless day (for Carmela Elizabeth Galgano=Mom)
By james a. galgano
Another endless day without you my love here miss you more mother dear
No place near to call or to hear your angel voice no mater what you had to say
Just knowing you were out there somewhere did all hurt frustration did you allay
Time is but now filled with endless memories one will never lose is obviously clear
How can one...
MOONSHINE
MOON SHINE
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
A LUNAR LANDING ON LIPS DIVINE
WHOSE FACE IS A VISON OF LOVELINESS
TO REMEMBER FOR ALL TIME AND BEYOND
THIS LIFE OR THE NEXT WITHOUT SUN
AND DESPITE ALL TORMENTS AND TRAVAILS
EACH LINGERING MEMORY OF YOU
WILL BE ENUOGH TO KEEP THIS SHIP OF LIFE
TO SAIL TO THOSE BRIGHTER HORIZONS
WE ALL SEEK TO DISCOVER ONE DAY
TO BE IN HER GOOD COMPANY
WOULD MAKE IT INEVITABLE...
FOOLISH LINGER
FOOLISH LINGER
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
IF MY HEART ACHE SHOULD FALTER WITHIN YOUR IMAGINED DESIRE
SHOULD MY MIND BECOME WILLING KINDLE FOR YOUR EMOTIONS ENDLESS FIRE
WHERE DESIRE CLEAVES EACH AND EVERY EROTIC DREAM OFFERING ENCHANTING BLISS
UPON INVITING LIPS AROUSING INFINITE WONDER PRECARIOUSLY ILL-DEFINED
WITHIN YOUR WHIRLPOOL COMFORTING EMBRACE OF ETERNAL WONDER BEYOND REACH
WHILE WEAKENED...
FATE ACCOMPLI
Fate Accompli
By james a. galgano
Life, no laughing matter
The idle wild
The clitter clatter
Of passing minutes unfulfilled
In slim hope
Of some elusive thrill
To the final guffaw
The disbelief
To the shock and awe
Of all that befalls upon you
Along your lonely way
Out of inclement darkness
Into inevitable fray
Scarred, consumed , defiled
Driven nearly wild
To the point of no tomorrow
In the...
LIMBO LINGER
Limbo linger
By james a. galgano
I thought I knew you but hadn’t a clue
What was I thinking, who really knew
What was the point to all this conjecture
Where was it leading and to what extent
Why all the riddles to such calamity devolving
Like dominoes neatly placed in linear rows
To nowhere fast in designated design
Where the mind often wanders in perplexity in view
Of what we thought but hadn’t...
PARALLELOGRAM
Parallelogram
By james a. galgano
No intersecting convoluted lies or condescending unmeasured lines
Perpendicular to our to wayward distant beating hearts still searching
For the point or accuracy of each word we cautiously yet silently speak
Hoping for that undeniable answer and that smile so terribly out of reach
Looking into each eye for a sign we can infer an answer we both seek
Where did...
WITHOUT A DOUBT
Without a doubt
By james a. galgano
I am a lonely fool wishing and wanting only you
Whatever this ever means to you I will never know
For sure but within your delicious love I endure
To have is to hold you within your loving embrace
Here is where I long to be to have and to taste
Your desirous lips long forever mine into night
Where i hope and pray you make me yours forever
Into distant...
DELIGHT
DELIGHT
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
the tabernacle of human kindness
opened to an ascending flame
within the world’s heart of darkness
salvation gently whispered your name anew
for the seed you planted randomly
sprouted angel wings for each blossom to fly
even if the garden bears no fruit
the soil within which you planted this hope
is thankful for your willingness to...
BLOSSOM
blossom
by james a. galgano
that calm quiet breeze smiles through windswept hair
embraceable tomorrows within each jubilant stare
mesmerizing laughter sings gently to each sorrow
which within your charm takes flight with the swallow
sailing across your lips and out through sun swept sea
beyond your outstretched borders a home invitingly
comforted completely by the fruit your beauty bears
though...
limbo lowered
LIMBO LOWERED
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
HEREIN LIES THE RUB OF FRICTIONAL EMBRACE
STUCK UPON AN INNOCENT VISION BEGUILING DISPLACED
OFFERING ETERNAL SALVATION OR EROTIC RELEASE
ENRAPT IN HESITATION OF DESIRE WITHOUT SEMINAL PEACE
THE GLIMPSE OF SUCH BEAUTY LINGERS WITHIN DREAMS
OF POTENTIAL OFFERS OFTEN OBSCENE YET NEVETHELESS PREVAIL
PROVIDING LOST COURAGE FOR RESOLUTION AVAILED
WITHIN THOSE...
limelight awash
LIMELIGHT AWASH
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
SHE MOVED CLEARLY NOTICED WITHIN A LIMELIGHT INFLAME
WHILE EVERY EYE WAS ENTANGLED WITHIN HER BEAUTY INGRAINED
HER AROMA CAPTURED OUR WEAKNESS ENSURED
A SCAR OF MEMORY HAD BEEN SO EASILY PROCURED
TO FESTER AGLOW BUILDING A BONFIRE OF DESIRE BELOW
WHERE HUMANITY LINGERS ENTRAPT WITHIN DESIRE
TO CAPTURE EACH BREATH AND EASILY INSPIRE A LONGING
NEVER FULFILLED...
LOVELINESS BLINKS
Loveliness blinks
by james a. galgano
there her beauty lingered longingly upon some unwritten page
bewildering all on-comers of definition quotations underage
she glimpsed unsuspecting hoping for a clear response not forthcoming
where within unusual definition guided some shadow’s light
upon a clue often overdue as if it were clearly desired
as each moment transfigured lust into what was...

DELIGHTFULLY WEIRD
Delightfully Weird
by james a. galgano
Omnipotently unrealistic yet with clarity
She whispers to a near sightless owl
Searching for a homeland ‘s insecurity
Where unabashed freedom rings still
A place still filled with human kindness
As hope effervescently springs upon a pristine
Babbling brooks calming unwritten verse
To tomorrows youthful innocence
Absent of the hypocrisy that comes with...
FAUX ETERNITY
FAUX ETERNITY
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
ONCE THERE WAS A DREAM
FROM WHICH WE NEVER WANTED TO WAKE
IT WAS FILLED WITH HAPPINESS AND LOVE
THAT WAS TRUE AND NEVER CAUSE HEARTBREAK
IT WOULD FILL OUR SOULS AND HEARTS WITH ETERNAL SMILE
IN A LAND AND LIFE WHERE
WE WOULD CARE DEEPLY FOR EACH OTHER ALL THE WHILE
YET WHO WERE WE TO THINK SUCH A LOVE WOULD LAST
AND LIKE A RISING SUN BEGIN TO SET AS FAST
BENEATH...
LUNAR ECLIPSE
lunar eclipse
by james a. galgano
captive blossom of your waxing beguile
growing in the garden of perfection
whose scent beguiles narcotic unexpected
upon this visual caress empires are built
in the satin sand of passing time
where temptation’s intrigue conjures possibilty
consequence laments inevitable reluctance
within the shadow of your bridled passion
imbued in your tender image...
VISION OF LOVELINESS
VISION OF LOVELINESS
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
ONCE UPON ALMOST UNFORGOTTEN TIME
SHE STOOD SO STILL AND SILENTLY
GAZING TOWARDS TOMORROW INTROSPECTIVE
EXUDING ALLURE UNDIRECTED IN ANY PARTICULAR WAY
A VISION UNSTUCK IN TIME WHOSE LOVELINESS
WAS ABLE TO SOFTLY SCAR AND ENTRANCE A VACUOUS MIND
AS MINE ALONG IT’S WAYWARD PATH TO TOMORROW
I NEVER FELT SUCH RAPTURE BEFORE SHE SMILED
AND EVEN IF NOT IN...
WISTFUL FIND
WISTFUL FIND
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
I ONCE FOUND A PIECE OF FLEETING HEART
BLEEDING NEAR A TEARING TIDAL POOL
I CAREFULLY LIFTED THE PRECARIOUS SHARD
AND WAS TRANSMITTED TO A SEARING MEMORY
WHERE HOPE PRECARIOUSLY WONDERED
WHILE WANDERING AIMLESSLY AMONGST
DISTRAUGHT MEMORIES SORELY CONFINED
BY ROMANTIC WEBS REACHING FOR A HAND
PRAYING FOR SOME UNDEFINED VISION
OF A SAVIOR LONG SINCE...
HERE IS WHERE
Here is where
By james a. galgano
These god awful moments
Where heaven and hell so easily seem alike
So we are unable to recognize the cause from the plight
Beyond our own insignificant insensitive feelings
No matter how confined or unreeling contrite
Time lingers longingly overwhelmed by despair
Like an endlessly submerged wanderer beyond repair impolite
For so often here is where reality...
HER VICTORY
HER VICTORY
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
WHAT VISION OF BEAUTY DOTH IN BEWILDERMENT APPEARS
TO ENCAPSULATE THESE LONELY EYES PAINFULLY IN ARREARS
OWING EVERY MOMENT TO SOLITUDE AND STRIFE
ONLY TO BE BAPTIZED BY SUCH STUNNING BEAUTY AND DELIGHT
WITHIN SUCH INNOCENT IMAGES SO DELIGHTFULLY DIVINE
WITH THE GRACEFFUL ABILITY TO CAPTURE EVERY MIND
UNKNOWING SUCH POWER WAS WITHIN HER HANDS
SHE UNPRETENTIOUSLY...

An innocent thought for you
By james a. galgano
Your winsome wondrous allure so filled with hope and dreams so pure
Upon each your angel wings does hope spring eternal through inclement night
The innocence your image divine does portray heaven on earth each day
Into every morning when your sparkling eyes awake paradise is found without mistake
The world is a better place knowing you are...
