Clive Blake Poems

God's Light split,
Laying bare its constituent parts,
Diverted on course,
Nurtured by prismed skies,
...

A child's daydreams;
They come, then go,
They crystalize,
Then melt, like snow.
...

We don't want your sympathy,
Your empathy will do,
We just want you to realise that
Except for our disabilities,
...

Ban the bomb!
Save the whale!
Please don't step on
That poor snail.
...

Allow me the time …
To stand and stare,
To ponder on the how and where,
To lose myself in thoughtfulness,
...

We might not always see eye-to-eye,
We might not always agree,
But that won't stop me from loving you,
And hopefully -
...

Please don't try and push me,
Don't hustle and crowd me in,
I need some space to find myself,
To work out where I fit in.
...

This flower cut,
Whilst in full bloom,
Now rests in peace,
Within this tomb.
...

You could have called it a blind date,
The manner in which we first met,
But one that was truly desired,
Not one made for a stupid bet.
...

With a mentality as cold as an
Up high,
Sky spy,
Fly by,
...
