David Whalen Poems

A Spring morning
A warm Breeze
doves cooing softly
Pollen dusted trees
...

Do you put your cart before the horse
Do you cast pearls before swine
Do you let things run their course
Are you just in the nick of time
...

It's not lyrics…but
whispers
That lie ‘neath the melody
...

I want to clear this matter up some way
And at the same time make my point

That love note I sent you the other day?
...

Barren fields…empty places
Mind devoid of idea and rhyme
Sterile imagination…featureless faces
Webs in memories, frozen in time
...

This Year It's all about me

I'll use sleight of hand
Be all smoke and mirrors
...

Your Eyes


Mirrors of the soul
...

I need a bottle of answers
Or at least a flask

A richness of remedy
...

Heartbreak’s just another way of cryin’

Murder’s just another word for dyin’
...
