David Whalen Poems

<Center>I’ll stay for as long
as you’ll have me
At least as long
as you have need
...

<center>
September…

More an emotion
Than a month
...

<center>

Shy glances from o’er ones shoulder
Longer looks that become bolder
...

<center>
Snowflakes soft as silken down
Deftly light on lashes long
And hair of chestnut brown…
...

The sinuousness of sand dunes
Wind abraded stone
The sun pinwheels
Cross the sky
...

Will you miss me
When I’m gone? …
I really rather
Doubt it.
...

There are not too many things
In this world
one can count on
...

Look deep into the dragon's eyes
Fear not the sulphrous breath
Tis he who within… courage lies
Who needs have no fear of death
...

Hug your children
Tight tonight
Let them know you care
For could be come
...

There’s something to be said
for imperfection

Something to be praised
...
