david lessard Poems

Why did it take so long for me to find you?
Why did it feel as if it took forever?
I felt that I did all the things I knew to do,
Perhaps they all were far too clever...
...

so sweet, the thoughts of you,
so fine, the dreams of you,
so grand, the view of you;
I speak your name
...

I can't afford health insurance,
Thank God for Medicare -
Retired and in the poor house,
Does anyone really care?
...

Who are you, to tell me what I am?
Who are you, to tell me I should care?
I know that life with you's a sham,
And you have zero, I would want to share.
...

We, who cannot love freely,
are doomed to exist without it -
We, who cannot touch without a thought,
Ourselves, are living untouched.
...

Water can sustain life, , but not for him,
Water took his life, he never learned to swim;
Too many children, too many early deaths,
Water claimed their souls and dying breaths.
...

My State Fair had no tunnel of Love,
But they had a dancing bear;
He spun in circles, quite content,
as if I wasn't there.
...

I went to my Guru and asked
What's the secret of life?
He said 'No marriage vows
my friend, do not take a wife.'
...

The prescence of you is in this room!
The rumpled sheets, where we made love,
not once, not twice, but thrice!
The little cries of pleasure,
...

The rains, they finally came,
awesome in it's power -
the lightning show was super,
much more than just a shower.
...
