Some say life is too short - and I wish mine was taller,
but can we stretch it enough, and then stay fit to enjoy her?
Yes, I call life a 'her', it surely can't be a him,
it's beyond understanding, and can change with a whim...

Humour   Life
by Dave Dunn
We walked the canal towpath in a gentle summer haze,
watching a lock leak water that seemed to go on for days,
our collie was running ahead and kept turning to watch us dawdle,
but we were in no hurry then as time seemed to present no hurdle...
It was the mid eighties and we were just two lovers, with one dog,
marriage was fine as we were, holding hands with no r...

Canals   Love   Life
by Dave Dunn
Do we construct our own realities,
with a view to make us feel alive,
could we even live in spartan times,
no we need much more to truly thrive.
So keep those illusions that we can control,
embed ourselves within their rosy frames,
ignore the chatter of the outer world,
ignore the silly ones that call us names.
In whichever part of the world yo...

Life
by Dave Dunn
There was a lump in his throat
that could have bridged a moat,
his fixed eyes were brimming,
while the stranger was grinning.
His young mind was wracked
by those that came and attacked
just because he was new in town,
had his accent make them frown?
As he struggled up from the ground,
still swamped by their sneering sound,
from the taun...

Life   childhood   bullies
by Dave Dunn
Take my mind to freedom town,
grant me that last bliss,
far away from all past downs,
surely I've now earned this.
Once I was the partner,
now I'm just the dad,
one time I was the carer,
please let me lose the sad.
Sure I'll find a bump or two,
roads to heaven aren't always true
I only ask a fair passage there,
with the one for...

Life   love
by Dave Dunn
Aching bones, loud groans,
joints that creak in tune with moans,
empty purse but much to say,
pensioned off before her day.
Now her tripod bag she wheels,
nowt to do but bear the squeals,
oil is summat she'll never seek,
her hearing aids gone up the creek.
Arthritis struck at thirty six,
another of lifes dirty tricks,
born with ears ...

Life
by Dave Dunn
No time's ever right for a closed fist fight
No doll drums the beat that can be truly neat
Know this as you wander out toward that blue yonder
All around us are brothers & some sisters & mothers
Life is a challenge that's best faced together
Lean on each other through desperate weather
Don't wait for some tragic event to awake
Reach out now to give a lit...

I Aim
I aim to be as true to all
As I have learnt from being small
Tell it like I see it when I'm clear
Zip my mouth if I'm not my dear
Now as time rolls on I find I still
Have a very strong unbending will
None too shy to state my case
Toe to toe, face to face
Tempering the above with concern
For others views where I may learn
More about this world ...

Ageing   Life   time   will
by Dave Dunn
Simply Time
With Crystal Ball, I might have found
Some way to weave my way through time
Instead, I played without the rules
Did it my way throughout the schools
Meandered free from guides or maps
Ate my meals from plates on laps
Camped and rambled, cycled too
My only aim - my love for you
Single till I sang your song
Wed while we were still so youn...

children   illness   Life   Loss   sorrow   time
by Dave Dunn
If I die before tomorrow
Though the sun won't shine for me
Take pleasure in it's warming glow
There's a future there to see
No life will last forever
The sun will one day fail
But not before we've all passed on
So who will hear the tale
A tree falls in a forest
A whale dies in the sea
What happens to the birds nest
Do the krill sigh with relief
Fo...
