David Normand Poems

You had a lover once
She loved you with her heart.
Yet you cared not for her
She did not fit your part.
...

In the sweetness of the evening sun
When the moon begins to shine,
When your love begins to glow
And becomes one with mine,
...

She says she stays awake at night
Just to hear me breathe.
She says she needs to assure herself
That I would never leave.
...

On occasions I have danced
and swayed to the music of love
And many times I have chanced
upon a delightful thought of us
...

Somewhere in China,
There's a poet just like me.
Struggling with who he is,
Longing to be free.
...

From boyhood to manhood you pass
like sweet morning rain.
The songs you sang the morning last
are now a new refrain.
...

To my friend, Maria. Thanks for the gesture.

A pocketful of petals
They were given to me.
...

You think you're doing the right thing.
You buy the time that may save your life.
You move your wife away from her friends,
And farther away from your children.
...

She'd given me a free ride
to see how far I'd go
From desert to the valley
up to the winters snow.
...
