David Lacey Poems

The goal of man is to be as god,
To reach out to the divine in contemplation
And so return as far as possible to the divine source.
...

She appeared upon my doorstep with eyes of radiance divine,
Athene herself may envy her from wisdoms palace in the sky.
She carried with her a portfolio of canvas cast splendour containing
Abstract figures entwined in shades of azure upon coconut
...

Within a city of thieves
There lies a treasure unknown.
Upon an autumnal breeze
The birds of prey have flown.
...

Do you fear you have faked your emotion in an elaborate illusion of truth?
Do you believe that man is lucky in his limitations? As an eternity upon
This plain would shower upon any man the suffering of the years,
The death of all he would see and never join back within the circle,
...

Music - an expression of the soul
Instrument - projection of emotion
Unused it lay as a God forgotten
Possessing the most magnificent of powers
...

As I sit unknowing of my future age I find myself
At one with the moment at hand and I tell myself:

Feed upon the potential you know grows within your soul
...

We are no more than craftsmen,
Our materials exist before us,
The word, the thought, the dream
We are those who sew up at the seems
...

Beauty surrounds me in every second of every day
For so is the way of the world, yet within the shadows
Demons crawl fulfilling the desires of decadent men.
Are we not those that would inherit the earth?
...

She emits such a magnetic hold upon my soul
That I may not contemplate existence whole
Without being bound in time and space
To the girl that makes my heartbeat race.
...

I am the rain as I am the storm
I am the leaf as I am the tree
I am the soil as I am the worm
I am the soul and I am free.
...
