david lessard Poems

He is gone...the people all do say,
Shall we bury him today?
'neath the ground, amongst the clay?
...

Why did it take so long for me to find you?
Why did it feel as if it took forever?
I felt that I did all the things I knew to do,
Perhaps they all were far too clever...
...

so sweet, the thoughts of you,
so fine, the dreams of you,
so grand, the view of you;
I speak your name
...

Water can sustain life, , but not for him,
Water took his life, he never learned to swim;
Too many children, too many early deaths,
Water claimed their souls and dying breaths.
...

My State Fair had no tunnel of Love,
But they had a dancing bear;
He spun in circles, quite content,
as if I wasn't there.
...

I went to my Guru and asked
What's the secret of life?
He said 'No marriage vows
my friend, do not take a wife.'
...

The prescence of you is in this room!
The rumpled sheets, where we made love,
not once, not twice, but thrice!
The little cries of pleasure,
...

The rains, they finally came,
awesome in it's power -
the lightning show was super,
much more than just a shower.
...

Here is where I'll stay forever,
Rooted to this land -
Though I may wander here and there,
Right here is where I'll stand.
...

I will not stop for Death,
so he or she will stop for me;
I can't think about the future,
the present's enough you see.
...
