David Whalen Poems

<center>Would you like to go with me?
Perhaps better not… to go!
I go into the woods at night you see
Neath Winter night's Moon glow
...

<center>I like to watch old people
And imagine how they were
In their youth
...

<center>Your children only hold your hand
For a little while
Before they push you away
...

A million kisses
To the Moon
A thousand toasts
Of Summer wine
...

My diet's not working
It's easy to see
And my waist isn't
Getting any smaller
...

In torrents of emotions
Are humans destined
To dwell
...

I keep a notepad
On the nightstand by my bed
To jot down thoughts
that late at night, fill my head
...

Startled…I pulled up short
Taken aback by melancholy eyes
The visage in the portrait tore
My sight in deep surprise
...

A mind at ease puts
A smile on ones face, but sex
Can do it better
...
