David Lacey Poems

We must journey this land before we leave.
We must believe before we can be deceived.
We must seek a world of clarity.
...

The tyger of Blake lies beneath a colonial blade
What do I care?
His head above an armchair of some lecherous old major
As antique as his rifle.
...

Surrender to the splendour of your vision
For within your eyes I foretell the swelling of heart ache.
A soul once shaking is now breaking
Shattering eggshell fragments upon the pavement.
...

I am all that I could be,
My future self resides in me.
That so much I know,
Yet for knowledge there is no cure
...

Mist envelops the rooftops of the town
...

There's a devil in the corner of my room
White eyes bubbling from the surface
His skin the texture of a school boys table,
Experiments gone wrong, holes drilled deep
...

In our own amazement of being we strive to know all that lies beneath the blanket snow of waking consciousness
Dig and you shall find the source of wonder in your mind
Open your heart to the song warm and embracing - The song of universe keeping your heart rate pacing
And fate - destiny - together in harmony weave the tapestry of life unwinding.
...

Chemicals of dubious legality are fueling orgies around the globe.
Where is the palace of wisdom we were promised
In devouring our bodies with our souls delight?
...

When I was young and young I am
I dreamed I'd be a better man
I dreamed I'd live a life of joy
And here I am an aging boy
...
