David O'Haolin Whalen Poet Heroic Couplet

Perhaps Stardust

`You’ve never met me
Yet you know me

Face unfamiliar or perhaps...
Not a face at all

Perhaps I’m the stuff 
that bad dreams are made of

Mayhaps I’m the 
Handwriting …’pon the wall

The spectre… that hectors
Each one and all of us

I’m the nexus of nothingness
Memories just almost recalled

I’m no one and everyone
I’m the stars and the sun

I’m happiness and loneliness
I’m misery...I’m fun

I’m the bad and the good
I’m the best and the worse

An atom, a splinter of wood
I’m poetry, I’m the universe

And sometimes... I’m 
...Nothing at all...
