Dónall Dempsey Poems

I’m forever blowing bubbles
all over your nakedness

divinely supine upon a divan
...

Here on a hot sticky
summer night

our newly naked bodies
...

You are like all
the dark shops of my childhood

where you enter
...

I soft soap
your breasts

your nipples
...

You had the most amazing
pubic hair

either there was none there
...

The monkey too tired now
To dance
And feeling stupid
...

A strand
of light blonde hair
gently blown
...

I look into the darkness

& only see the darkness
staring back at me.
...

We sit among
the blooming heather.

You smile.
...

I wander through
the natural geography

of our bedroom
...
