Bridges of Life

A Selection of Poems

By James Bolgiano

Twilight of the Morning

Twilight of the Morning As I lay ever so quietly next to you In the twilight of the morning, I like to watch you sleep. You’re so far away, yet so close. I breathe you in with my eyes, Kiss you with my soul, Hold you with my heart. You walk with me through out the […]

Wingless Birds

Wingless Birds Sometimes eyes don’t see And ears don’t hear. Even when trouble abounds Our senses aren’t clear. We’re left in danger, Without any words. Lost in this world, Like wingless birds. Sun and Stars Sun and Stars The sun and stars look down Upon… Read More I Could Do That I Could Do That […]

Color to Your Smile

Color to Your Smile I watch, as you add color to your smile. There’s nothing wrong with the vision that I see, But you have a desire to enhance your naturalness, To be something even more beautiful than what you are. Too often critical of yourself Even though there is no need. I can’t count […]

Raining Outside

Raining Outside It’s raining outside! There’s something relaxing about the discourse of raindrops As they hit my pane. A smell of freshness fills the air And the crisp colors of nature Sheen with a new brilliance, As if cleansed by the tear drops of God.  It’s raining outside! My emotions are calm, My thoughts silent. […]

Never Really Leave

Never Really Leave You walked out of my dreams And into my life. I can’t walk away from you, Because no matter how far I go, I never really leave. You are always there; In my thoughts, In my imaginations. I’m a part of you, And you, a part of me. Without each other, we […]

Hello, Pretty Flowers

Hello, Pretty Flowers “Hello, pretty flowers”! Isn’t it amazing how flowers just seem to come from nowhere, Bringing beauty to every eye that beholds them? They are a special gift from God. Providing color and fragrance to an otherwise bland world. Fragile, yet so strong. Reaching to the sky, To be kissed by their lover, […]

Sunrise

Sunrise I loved the sunrise this morning. Auras of orange surrounded each cloud, Pasted on to an ever-brightening field of blue. Birds sang songs of praise to the rising sun, And I became one with the sunshine; One with the day.  Lost In My Introversion Lost In My Introversion I heard the music and watched… […]

Bridges of Life

Bridges of Life As I walk across the bridges of life, It’s comforting to know you walk with me. We cross span after span, Venturing into new uncharted lands. We see our yesterdays, But can’t predict our tomorrows. During our journey, We cross brooks and streams Filled with many pleasantries. But also, there are oceans […]

I Could Do That

I Could Do That I would climb the highest mountain Or swim the widest ocean for you. Well, I probably couldn’t do that, I’m elderly and out of shape. I’d climb a small hill, Or swim across the pool for you. Yea, I could do that. The Sea The Sea Once you traveled across the […]

Part of My Life

Part of My Life It’s raining outside! It’s the type of morning, I wished we could have cuddled under the covers together, Holding each other close, Whispering sweet nothings in each other’s ear. I like these kinds of mornings: Cool, crisp and damp. It’s the type of morning not made for working, But laying around […]
