for your words excite me
beyond mere imagery
I'm ****** thrown
into a universe
that drowns me
in soliloquies,
sonnets and haikus
10 words painting
thousands of pictures
and a very personal view
of a free verse
where words flow a waterfall
tumbling against rocks
smoothing a path
that cuts like razors
but smells like rain
on cut grass
that silently lays
in the cavern deep
a well of pain
a gentle river feeding
dry hopes and gifting
life to those that repeatedly
suffer the excess
of one who seems insane
but sits beneath the winter tree
devoid of capture of the suns rays
and the gentle mist of tears
that fall through barren branches
tickling the cheek of agelessness
counting on a single hand
the many years
it took to get here

never going to give it up :)

Why Are All Headstones Grey?

in closed spaces, broken faces
whisper incredible lies,
beneath their sighs
a moments regret, seems to forget
impetuousness denied
lives for the ride!
a heart demands trembling hands
to hold it strong and for so long
it sits quietly and tirelessly
watching the world spin
from within
a cage of fingers where it lingers
to be choked, or smoked
crushed between
envy and ecstasy
trending in debauchery
the empathy of morality
ends in incredulity

Not one to inspire
a raging fire
here they lie
*When did they die?

sorry

all I ever wanted was to sit down with you, have a drink or two and time to tell you I'll be alright

When you see that star, shining so bright, know it's me, telling you, tonight,

I'm alright now
It's time to let go

In the stars, there are no scars
Just me, shining bright
like I was ever meant to

Happy 21st (where are you?)

is it everything
you'd thought it be?
Happy 21st my baby boy
forgive me...
as I lay in bed
Remembering
that 21 years ago
I became a Mother
for the first time
you know
and I was as confused
as you were back then
until your tiny little hand
held my clumsy fingers
that feeling...
it still lingers

But where are you now?
Where have you been?

I've been in Hell it seems,
I lay awake every night
I wait for the fright
of hearing your voice
I dream of the moment
I get that choice

Happy 21st Birthday
to my precious,
most coveted
First born Son

Happy Birthday my darling
though you hate me desperately
I say Happy 21st Bithday

It appears you may have made it
*without your Mum...

It's still a week away yet 5/7/2015... I can't even.... So I'm going on hiatus tonight... Might spend a week thinking I could have done something right...

Her Unknown Path

She walks the distance
upon a barren moon
where stardust gathers
between her toes
forgotten planets are
remembered, too soon

Her path remains unknown
where sunlight threads
through her amber gaze
sifting breaths between
Silver, on midnight blue
peering through
a galaxy haze
seeing nothing new

Black holes and Supernovas
are small events,
not to her surprise
She crosses oceans
of ill formed creations
that seek to crush her
beneath their demise

Grit beneath her fingernails
crusted diamonds of pre life
She walks on sand like velvet
taking her own sweet time
universally dropping strands
of whiskey and dark red wine
Marking the path to
soul desperation
her only way to shine

Uimh níos mó (No more)

No more reading
No more words
No more bees
No more birds
No more hurting
No more rain
No more anger
No more pain
No more breathing
No more sighs
No more seething
No more Sky
No more Sun
No more Stars
No more Moon
No more scars
No more worries
No more regret
No more tears
No more sweat
No more wondering
No more days
No more anything
*Where we lay

Love in the Sky

Sunset in the sky
low lying
Reminds me of a love
thats dying
So I'll leave the Sunset
where it lies
and think of our Love
*as a Sunrise
