Thomas Duncky Poems

I went to a funeral ceremony the other day
The presiding pastor stood and had this to say
'This woman here we loved, but God loved her dearly! '
...

O Shameful Country Men
Look what you have done to our lady
The warm heart is hot and burning now
Her clean spring is deadly freezing now
...

Should I crown you now
And tomorrow be sorry
Then uncrown you and strip off your glory?
...

I don’t need a doctor
I crave for a healthier life
For what is a doctor?
When I’m living a healthier life
...

Age is wise but folly
and devoirs the liver to live wholly
for what is life if it becomes a gray effigy covered in fear
...

How vile is vengeance
When forgiveness on the wounded heart is an ever boiling wound recurring like a cursed penance
...

Light me a fire and warm me up
My body is cold but my heart is burning up
O shame! Bring me a c-cup of c-c-cold water
For I hear my heartbeat falter!
...

It might be too late to say
Here was a man in whom great wisdom lay
When on a bright morning I to my Maker have gone
And your praise to me sounds none the better than scorn
...

To what lands must i fare
That i should leave behind my fair lady and heir
Tell me how can it be well?
When one leaves the land his loved ones dwell
...

Do you know where you stand; that
Every second spent by your side; my heart
Sings a soft and beautiful melody
In truth i wish it could sing every day
...
