- Yesterday’s Child
  
  Posted at 1:26 pm by Gordon, on June 21, 2018
  The following poem will be in Standoff. The book, Standoff is a group of poems and short stories
  
  Yesterday’s Child
  
  Yesterday’s child was born with a patchwork brain
  Filled with paintings that would never be brought to view
  For a painter, a drawer, he simply could not be
  Overrun with songs that would never be sung
  For they melted or collapsed before being born
  Adrift with poetry that would struggle to be heard
  But some broke through to live a day
  Yesterday’s child was born to others to view
  While about him his life slowly colored with stain
  His sense of security and being loved flung
  To the woods where sense lived in the leaves
  That surrounded and filed the world with color

- ONCE A BOY
  
  Posted at 11:20 pm by Gordon, on June 16, 2018
  ONCE A BOY
  There once was a boy who lived on a boat
  The boy was small and the boat was not
  Upon a sea of strange waters sailed the two
  The boy and the boat until one day the boy forgot
  That the boat would float and he would not.

- SHE HAD FAME
  
  Posted at 6:02 pm by Gordon, on June 16, 2018
  SHE HAD FAME
  No one knew her name
  This simple woman who walked alone
  In the rain and sun, she walked alone
  On Sarasota’s streets, she walked alone
  And no one knew her name
  She walked in light and in the dark
  She walked in sun and in the rain
  But one knew her name, but she had fame
  As she walked barefoot and alone
  She had local fame as she walked alone
  This woman who had no name
  In a dress that was a hand-down
  From a local church charity store
  Where they didn’t know her name
  In the rain and sun on Sarasota’s streets
  She walked until death closed her eyes
  One night when the rain fell along her way
  And the wind drove others off the streets
  She was there when death claimed no name
  And no one was there as she fell on her path
  And there she lay until the break of day
  This woman without a name
  But death came, found her with its cold hand
  A wet bundle in the rain found with a cold hand
  And claimed her without knowing her name
  This woman who walked alone without a name.

- NIGHTFALL, THE LOVERS’ DANCE
  
  Posted at 2:24 pm by Gordon, on June 14, 2018
  NIGHTFALL, THE LOVERS’ DANCE
  I recall the night when the rain came
  And settled in bringing a coolness to the room
  Where two lovers met and never were the same
  In an apartment in downtown Sarasota
  Where they danced to a scratchy record on a player
  While drinking stale beer in a dim light
  From the only bulb left working
  And somewhere in the world a wall was being torn down
  Somewhere a child was being born
  Water dripping from pipes to the foundation two floors below
  Somehow they found each other and in a simple embrace
  Shared the last cigarette in a crushed pack tossed to the floor
  While singing a song neither knew.

- The Drunk on the Corner is
  
  Posted at 5:49 am by Gordon, on April 15, 2018
  THE DRUNK ON THE CORNER IS
  Copyright 4.15.18 by Gordon Kuhn all rights reserved.
  
  The holy drunk on the corner is
  As holy as the Pope who drinks wine
  And who represents a group with a history of crime
  That turned its back on the Jews and friended Hitler
  The holy drunk on the corner is
  As holy as the holy father in his lofty mansion
  Protected by an armed security
  And who is worshiped in life and will be in death
  As the only voice of God here on this earth
  Except for the drunk castaway lying at the corner
  Who in his drunkenness is holier that the pope.

  Personally I have always had more girl relationships than male relationships. I guess I just like women more than men and, as far as my mom and dad were concerned, that was and is a good thing. Women are just so incredible, love everyone I ever met.

- a simple poem and random remarks 2033/08/11/17
  
  Posted at 2:18 am by Gordon, on August 12, 2017
  I Am On Fire
  
  Gordon Kuhn Copyright 8.11.2017
  
  Within the skull born of female pain
  He lashed out at the days but could not steal the stain
  That in treasured measure laid its curling tone
  Upon the printer’s inked plate during winter’s dying moan
  He never thought the deeds quite through each day
  While death visited his youth upon its way
  Ripping out the contour of his life
  Leaving behind the refuse of his strife.
  His guilt real or imagined lay deep about his feet
  No peace shall he ever through conscience release ever greet
  While in the lonely closing of his days
  Boxed in, surrounded by a killing maze.

  The Peppermint Lounge, Montego Bay, 1962
  By Gordon Kuhn copyright 08.06.2017
  all rights reserved.
  
  There once was a whore house in Montego Bay
  Where $2 bought a pitcher of beer and 5 got you a lay
  There bronze skinned ladies with loose dresses would sway
  with the music until the break of day
  Never letting the customers stray too far away
  Ah, the booze was cheap and the ladies kept their smiles
  And we never once shared our private trials
  But laughed and danced and drank the night away
  Until dawns’ light broke the fragile spell
  When we went back to the ships with memories to tell
  Our youthful hunger for rowdy times and cheap romance sated
  To the ships where our rifles and ammo near our packs silently waited.
