David Taylor Poems

Flowers fold petals
Curtains close
Eye lids grow
heavy
...

I wrote a poem,
and posted it too.
That poem I wrote
is intended for you.
...

Why so many lives swept and crushed
with walls of water moving across flat lands,
walls of buildings descending upon ground
that sways and shifts like grains of sand.
...

Does a clock know what time it is? He asked.

No.
...

Oh discord where do you reside?
Why choose this heart to hide
and ring your cracked bell
with crooked clapper
...

I've heard it mentioned many times
'a broken heart'.
Ah I thought, a sentimental time
a time of wishing that someone dear
...

Don't you enjoy like me,
walking on a blustery day?
Wind whipping through your hair
leaning against an air brick wall,
...

I dreamt a poem
It beat in my dream
with purple hue
and smelt of oranges;
...

moon shines bright o'er the land
and ripples bright beyond the sands
stars light gleams of light beyond
this fallow earth which turns with song
...

Her heart was fair and skin was moonstone pale
her eyes contained the snow, the rain, and hale
her hair it flowed like rays of rising golden sun
and she walked as though the wind caressed
...
