An Index of Poems
& Poetic Works
by Ron Lampi
April 2009
Poems are arranged chronologically by title of individual poetic works. Titles that do not list poems are singular long poems of their own; otherwise the poems are unlisted (as noted). This is not a complete index then, but it comes close. There are some poems listed more than once since they are found in more than one work (e.g. the title Lamp Light as it is a selected short poems collection, with many poems taken from other works).

The Vision of Psyche 2006/2007
From the Corridors (of the Labyrinth) Short poems & fragments along my way 2001-2007
This, a pathway...
There are the few...
I see it now—
Psyche, everything gets revealed now—
In the Labyrinth
Once you have found your way...
One Morning
The Awakening
Caught Fire
Seducer
Caged
In the night sky
My challenge—
Do not be like...
I’ve gotten this far...
Sometimes when I talk...
I caught myself...
I am no longer/I am
I looked inside...
Dust & Dirt
What must I do?
Because you ignored me
Oh, I’ve had enough...
I mooned the Moon...
In This Together
Let me be honest
Bring me your cup
I’ve gotten pregnant again—
Why do others... / Should I wear a mask...
Did you think you could...
If you would stop...
Is it that we cannot say
How does the Moon...
I have kept myself...
The labor, the labor, the labor—
The Lights came on
Do you wonder if I...
I’ve become very aware...
How much like flesh...
In just a few words...
So you have punched holes...
A Warning
I watch you...
Do you see how...
Have we ever given Him...
Let’s face it—
This is our vulnerability
Have you noticed?
With everything comin’...
I’m lookin’ down
Let them wonder...
Someday they will know why...
It hurts me
How few hear it—
People who give...
So little, so much
This Path
How many eyes...
I sit here...
Did you go...
In that moment...
Windows Opened
I opened the sky
I am always...
In the Hospital
The Day After
I had no face—
You do know that I’ve acquired...
Have I not spoken of you yet?
I can stand here
If you cannot tell me...
Someone came behind me...
At times, do not try so hard—

Glorious Day
Upon leaving the bookstore
The Apostle Would Have Said
Caged
In the night sky
Don’t give me that old song…
Do not be like…
Maybe you are one...
I’m lookin’ down
How do you know if...
You must slay...
Though the soil...
I caught myself…
I was afraid...
Grinning Bastard
I Offered Myself
How few hear it—
In that moment...
With pen in hand...
To hold a Vision
By a Melody
This extravagant joy…
