      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha

      687 Miles To You - James P. Maitland

      FOREWORD

      In 2008 I decided to try my hand at writing a poetry book. I have always enjoyed jotting down rhymes and verses and over the past four years I have written this compilation. I believe poetry and verse is something that we all individually take different things from, some may see the dark side of these poems while others may see the lighter side. It is my hope to reach a broad spectrum of readers who can take inspiration from my words and hopefully get the bug to start writing too. Speaking for myself, when I write I just write the words that come into my head and the words I feel like writing. This is the good thing about Poetry and Verse; it’s not too complex to write. We can write what we feel, good and bad funny and sad. There you go (A rhyme in itself). Poetry and Verse have no bounds if the words seem right to you, then write them; write with emotion, anger, joy and relief; anything you think and feel. I hope you will enjoy reading the book as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it.

      The Hurting

      Waking in a dream

      In the surreal world

      Holding out for promises

      From the lonely girl

      I disappear with life

      Always wanting more

      Never see your point of view

      As I’m not really sure

      And I’d like to change

      The way I feel

      Ever wondering if I’ll forgive

      The hurting

      Walk away from this

      Run away with life

      And the hurting

      On A Winters Night

      Whilst the moon stands still

      In the dead of night

      I look out to the sea

      But the dark it blinds my sight

      Feels so cold

      To be alone

      On a winter’s night

      I breathe heavy

      But the chill is catching me

      I look out to the night

      And watch the wave’s crash

      In the sea

      The haunting wind

      The eerie sounds

      As I am here alone

      Feels so cold

      On my own

      On this winter night

      Feels
