David Whalen Poems

The gravity of blood
Holds tight the satellites
Of family and
The ties that bind
...

Devolved into a genteel kind of madness
And no longer beloved today
Morphed more…into a still stranger likeness
Removed of reality in every way
...

Pebble tossed into waters deep
Ripples awakened… from gentle sleep
Concentric rings of force in search
Of mossy banks ‘gainst which to lurch
...

When a poem is read
A reader's home is entered
Where dwells a kindred spirit
...

<center>Ne'er feel need to say hello
Nor ne'er need bid to one goodbye
In it's stead, show love
And touch the shoulder of…
...

<center>Light congealing
Like ice upon water
Razor-honed edge
of dawn cleaving the dark
...

<center>So sad
So very, very sad
Those voices from the sky
...

<center<Twas only a blink
And nothing more
The thing I saw
At my front door
...

Happiness is a choice
It dwells within your mind
You only need to give it voice
It's not so hard to find
...
