David Whalen Poems

<center>
Enough to make
The heart to quake…
The smile on Ruby’s lips
...

<center>
What first catches my eye
Is a word…or a phrase
That exerts a pull realized
...

<center>
Death’s no more than endless sleep
No need for knickers in a twist
No need pray to God
...

<center>
I feel as one…now
With the grass and trees
Part and parcel
...

<Center>
Don’t ever grow up
‘Cause I’ve been told, when you grow
Up…You grow old!
...

<center>

What a long life is…
Lucky leaps o’er open graves
...

<center>
Who in the heck am I now?

I used to know
...

<center>
Man might as well write on water
As engrave on stone
For his words…
...

...Creamsicle Cat...
Orange and white
Crossing my path
Silent as night
...
