16/M/Dublin The greatest difficulty for a poet is to distinguish between what one really feels and what one would like to feel. / - T.S Elliot
Three little words, and I can not say them. I try constantly, but the words do not come. She wants them, but I can't tell her, these, three little words. Any other combination, and I can do it easily, but not these, three little words. The reason is I do not. These three words, mean nothing, when they are untrue. So I shall not say that, I love you. As much as you beg me. As much as you flood your eyes with tears. As much as you scream in pain and agony. I cannot say, I love you

Three Little Words
To write true Poetry. You must bleed, but to bleed leaves you empty. It is a risk. For if you truly bleed, you will die. but your fame will live on. Why? you ask because only the miserable are remembered.

The Blood of a Poet
The sun beamed down on the sand, with an unforgiving frown. For it knew we would drown. In the blood of the innocence, and die in foreign land, for a war caused by man. Who care more for the oil under some man's soil, Then for his lover, or even his brother. We had believed them when they said, "You, are fighting for freedom from dread" "You, are fighting for liberation of the dammed" "You, are fighting for future of democracy" but alas it was all a lie, for which we died. They did not care when the news came, to them it was always a game. Money, Money, Money. More, More, More. Mine, Mine, Mine. It was never to save, or for freedom to the slave. It was a just greed that sent us to the grave. For only if they had learnt to give, then maybe we could forgive. but instead they were for themselves, and never for others. we shall not grant them the forgiveness, that they beg for in an unconvincing lie. For they cursed us to die, fighting for the wrong side. And now we have gone. we shall not forgive those, who lied, posed, convinced us to go, We ask now, is the forgiveness of those. who we harmed, we are sorry. We didn't know, but we understand that forgiveness, is hard for we have not yet forgiven those that told us it was good to go.

The Man and His War
If only we spent more time Loving, then Hating. More time Laughing, then Crying. More time Fixing, then Breaking. More time hugging, then Hitting. More time Kissing, then Biting. For when that day arrives we will be able to hold each other, hand in hand, arm in arm. And we will be able to love each other, Like we should have been doing, from the very beginning.

If Only
As the whistle blows, We stand too. An order is bellowed, Fix bayonets! The time has come, For our last breath. As the whistle blows, We go forth, Into the mist. As the whistle blows, We die well.

As the Whistle Blows
I write to express myself, I write to be someone else. I write to numb the pain, I write to feel again. I write to forget my disgrace, but really I write to imagine your embrace.

I Write
You said hello, And so did I. All with such great ease. Yet now I find, The word goodbye, Can, no longer be said

Hello Forever
An eye for an eye, Leaves one man shy. With his eye, He  shall pry Into the land, And be hand. The crown And gown. Along with a ring , For the rightful king.

King of the Blind
I watch as she walks past, Her undeniable beauty. I long to speak to her. Yet remember, She is the ocean And I a wave.

Ocean of Beauty
There she is, Eyes of emerald, Hair of silk. Complete perfection. I walk towards her Open my mouth. Then close it Suddenly. As I walk on past Why? Because she is like the sun, And I am mearly star dust.
