Dad
Dave Lae Feb 2014
Dad
Thank you dad,
At times we were mad,
With each other and the world,
Sometimes we were sad,
Sometimes we were glad,
Not enough,
Love you dad.

money rush
Dave Lae Feb 2014
Money,
Whats it worth?
Paper, coins,
It all comes to earth,

Life,
Whats it worth?
Share, love,
All our time on earth.

We are here once,
No matter what we think,
One life to live,
Stop and think.

Dont rush, dont hurry,
Why?
(Sigh),
Dont worry.

Easy
Dave Lae Oct 2013
What to say
To hide away
On a plate
Its yours mate
Take me now
No
Drunk is you
I am sober
Its there i know
Tomorrows longer
Life is short, i know
three years down
how many to go?

I do not seek that is but weak
I do not ask for your body
i ask instead
whats inside your head
Is it realy me?

Try a night without the drink
Then you will see clearly what you want
Not give up your sacred ****
Instead of giving a simple wink
try instead
You are you
No need to lie to be another
I want you not just as a lover
I want you
Do i?

now
Dave Lae Sep 2013
now
Now is now, then is
When ?
Time to go, why
Be shy
Watching life, go by and bye
birth beginning, death draws
Breath
Laugh, dont cry
Life
Goes by
Then

A new chapter, start again
Life begins
Refresh, anew
Out with old, in with new
Smile
Laugh
Dont cry
Time goes by
Now

Still searching
Dave Lae Feb 2013
Time has passed, eons it seems
Now i am back, no need to dream
The days go by, they turn to weeks
Busy am i, too busy to seek
The one true love, my search goes on
Another year, another eon.

Your flower
Dave Lae Jul 2012
My flowers, they are for you
Please do not feel blue
A token of my friendship
A gift straight from my heart
Could this be a courtship
A beginning, a brand new start

After flowers comes the chocolate
Then comes the tricky bit
Would you wear a locket
With a picture of me in it

Or would you prefer some earings, do you have pierced ears
So many things i need to know, before i jump in deep
I should play it cool i know
Take it slowly, see how things go
Fools rush in, too fast it seems
They give their love, they dream a dream

O tell me fancy, what do you desire
My heart yearns my ***** on fire
To hold you in my arms, held tight
I want to hold you through the night
Hold on to you 'till morning light
Begins the day, and life, so bright

All for the better
Dave Lae Jul 2012
I feel the feelings
They leave me reeling
The love i thought i had
I thought it not so bad
A  few niggles here and there
Nowt to make yo much aware
But others knew, they dare not say
Now they tell, so far away

All for the better, she was right
I wanted a wife, she wanted a life
Children three, they are what mattered
I would not leave, tho life was shattered
Now two years on i feel better
My bed is cold, but my children fettered
warm and fed and better sheltered
I care not just for me you see
I care for things she did not see

Flowers
Dave Lae Jul 2012
I sow the seeds
And water them well
With lots of feed
their little buds swell

I plant them out
in perfect soil
I watch them grow
So big and tall

And when the flowers are open wide
I cut them long, take them inside
In a vase they go, by the fireside.
To fill the air with scents of rose
of daffodil, lily an freesia too
My only wish ? I have but one
That i had someone to give them too.

On the shelf
Dave Lae Jul 2012
Early morning, up at five
Its so good to be alive
The birds are singing
the sky is blue
No more thinking
Not of you

A new day dawns
With sleepy yawns
I start my chores
Some are fun
some a bore

But, when all said and done
I know, i am a lucky one
I have my health, i have my mind
I have a job, i have free time
I have more than so many, i have a bed
And when i sleep there is a roof above my head

I need for nothing in this scheme of life
It would be nice to have a wife
Maybe, one day, she will show herself
And then, no longer, will i feel
Left on the shelf

Free listing
Dave Lae Jul 2012
Free listing, whoopee
How lucky are we
Nothing to pay
To list today

Its free to show all what ******* i have
and i need the space, my attic looks sad
Its full of all sorts, the good and the bad
Th Hi-Fi, the pillows, the old rocking chair
The radio, the guitar ...  and that old cuddly bear

How i love E-Bay a chance to clear out
And its free, they say, to sell today
Once its all gone, at the end of the month
And i open my fees care of Paypal
How can this be, this listing was free
But if you sell what you list
Thats where they have you

A little bit here
A little bit there
It all adds up, they take there share
The attic is clear, i have lost two stone
And all i made was four pounds
Whoopee.

O life
its there
for all of us to share
not just yours
but mine

put aside your jealousy
i have my times you have yours
we match our times for *******
in those times we give so much
we mean so little
who gives a ****

wake up
Dave Lae Jul 2012
I used to wake up
feeling
i want you
i used to wake up
feeling blue
then
i think
what did you do
for me
nothing
it was all for you
Now i wake up
happy
no one by my side
but
rather that than you

where
Dave Lae Jul 2012
you are out there
somewhere
travelling in the ether
flying in the air
like a bird
or a bee
the one i love
why are you not there for me

my hope
Dave Lae Jul 2012
Love
to some its a game to others its for fame
my love is real its there to share
for others to feel
if they dare

My children have love
they have it from me
my children deserve my love
for free
no payment expected, all that i need
to feel they love me
back
indeed

Candles
Dave Lae Apr 2012
Light
From a candle
Warm and bright
Made to light the way at night
Warnings heeded
Nuclear power not needed
Just wax and a wick
Join them together
Make them stick
Then
Light the way
At the end of the day
Make a wish
Then
Extinguish.

Reality
Dave Lae Apr 2012
The wind, the rain, the sun
The stars
The air we breath, its what
We are
To have, to hold, to touch, to feel
To laugh at me, with you
Its real
One day in this life we live
Tho far apart, our longings with
We look, we see
At last we see
Its true, this is

Reality.

— The End —
