Poems by Ian Costello

  • She walks in a ray of pure
    leaps in a field of golden barley...

  • You make life alive,
    living i can love you better...

  • If ever I was a mariner,
    your beauty would be my ship...

  • Pulling pins, releasing spoons,
    The grenadiers to start their death summoning...

  • How is it that I can never get it out?
    Everything I want to say is stuck in my throat...

  • Wax melts as the candles dwindle,
    Their life is a measure of age, of time...

  • Real (1)

    You're not the first,
    But then I think about you always...

  • When light does show upon her face, what grace,
    A fragile dancer across her feature...

  • You are a temptress,
    You tease me and don't know it...

  • Both when young did take to dance,
    But she much younger than he...

  • (To the one person I will truly miss when my time...
    When I journey down Pennsylvania way...

  • Half a year,
    Six months...
