David Whalen Poems

One eye of burnished brown
The other of glowing yellow
Coat the color of loamy ground

Plans for Today

Listen to the doves cooing
Have coffee on the patio
...

Hopefully, soon I’ll be
Wrapped… enshrouded
In the smoke of the sea
...

The sea…a living sentient thing
As is the Earth…an organism alive
...

Candles affixed to small blocks of oak
Set afloat from streams rocky shore
Into the night, those small feeble lights
...

The spectral exhalations
Of both horses and coachmen
writhing like wraiths wrap’t round
faint lights on the street
...

Just a few of the things… I miss most of all

Roman candles
Juicyfruit gum from mom’s purse
...

Allow it time
Like aging wine
Let it rest
...

People often view fog in one way only
I personally don't see it that way, and...
the feeling it conjures is more than just lonely
It's totally different...
...

An ocean of devotion,
A tizzy of dizzy
A potion of lotion
In a sea of ecstasy
...
