david lessard Poems

In dreams
I reach
for things
beyond my grasp,
...

Let it not be forgotten.
how much I've cried for you.
Let it always be remembered,
my love for you was true.
...

My heart has no compass,
I am hopelessly lost;
Going in all directions,
My soul's paying the cost.
...

The end of war is not so far away,
The Prince Of Peace is closer too;
Before we kill each other in this play,
We've much to learn and more to do.
...

Money honey...that's what I want...

In this age of buying and selling,
Is there something, they're not telling?
...

Must you be so warm and lovely?
Must you be so sweet and kind?
You drive me to distraction...
and meddle with my mind.
...

I am not dead,
Just gone away;
Like a vacation,
I'm back to stay.
...

Where were you, when I needed you?
Where were you, when I suffered pain?
Where were you, when cold winds blew?
Where were you, when I went insane?
...

Love is a fragile thing,
Love on a broken wing,
Heart on a spiral, down,
Smiles like a saddend clown.
...

From all nations they come; hopeful, excpectant, full of dreams of greatness.
Their bodies are honed to perfection, their minds geared to extra fine sharpness.
For some, it is all over in scant seconds, for others, it is measured in minutes, and for still others, it may well consist of hours or days.
They run, they jump, they soar and glide with majestic beauty.
