Long Davie Poems

The Dream

On it’s  final journey – destination – a coma –
realization, a stagnant pool of reflections,
images on fun house mirrors –
surrealistic paintings
upon the walls of times passing,
it’s life diminishing, slowly, upon wings
of a sorrowful,...

represents the true you, the real you, the...

Kindheartedness

Ellen had a lot of experience in washing nappies, six bairns in less than eight years. William

I’ve knocked on every door of medicine men—
doors painted with hope.
Swallowed pills of every size and colour.
Been told,
“This one never fails.”
Another promise—
fulfilled only in disappointment.

The body that once felt mine
now feels like a stranger’s—
still wearing...

I comprehend the days when rays do shine and Ra does set 
When inner soul and façade connect, 24 hours in one day gave me breathe, that’s 1,440

There is a silent visitor inside you now —

softer than fresh-baked bread,
more precious than gifts from wise men of the East.
A second heartbeat,
gently echoing beneath your own.

You carry more than a name.
You carry memories yet...

Why does the sky keep falling —
but never fall?
Each dusk a slow descent,
yet it never shatters.

How do planets remember
the path their fathers walked?
No traffic signs, whatsoever!

I walked where the trees don’t speak—

yet somehow, I heard everything.

Sad mourners packed the church today.
Poor Davie had passed away.
A Christian and a family man.
His life never went astray.

As a boy he joined the Boys Brigade.
Twas the makings of this lad.
Still youthful nearing 70.
Which makes...

The Rustic Crusts of Manna
Davie J Walker

Sponsor from my jersey 

And the number meaning nothing 
But an identity recorded in a dry book

Making me invisible to the...

Lost in the forest,
I don't know which way to turn.
Very soon it begins to darken
every tree, and bush is alive.

Listen to the sounds.
Are they near, are they far?
Do they sound friendly?
Scared I simply wait.

Hunger sets...

a trip over from Victoria
to check out the scene on Davie

to visit the doctor
and rush back to the safety that is victoria-

Cobalt lives in a jaded world
of ups and downs and...
