There is a hole right there in the middle bit of me like a Russian doll a life within a life barely breathing don’t come too close you could fall right in deeply into the empty of me Others have. Save yourself Walk away..,,..
This just might be what it’s really All about Not the great brilliant lights Or the dark desperate lows The rights The wrongs The lies The unfolds This just might be all it’s about Nothing more than Sitting here Being still drinking gin Alone With you
When autumn reigned and blew golden bronze tumble leaves right to my door it reminded me of how you loved golden bronze tumble leaves at the door Do you still?
those who believe in love take one step to the right those who are burnt take one step to the left those who still believe stampede straight ahead headlong into the middle .
Someone once told me a poem should be long rhythm and thyme and take a long time so love and regret pain and explain delete and blame repeat and destain let go and restrain sunsets and more two people or four fall down then soar sweetness and gore does this really say more than I love you whatever the score!
When you find yourself in the inkwell of life navy dark blue drowning the light be glad you are but a few drowning in the liquid that brings words to life
The words that fall from my mouth should only be for me yet they rain upon your head like an untuned symphony and somehow you turn my words into a tune
Thank you for listening to the ten billion words I cough up each day and only hearing the ones I mean and still staying around and loving me all the same
Thank you Dublin for making me honest and simple and pure left you behind a hundred years ago but thank you Dublin thank you for taking the trouble to teach me what decent people do thank you for reminding me what my father would do thank you for giving me the gift of the gab thank you for all the Irish jab thank you for my mam and dad thank you for staying with me after all these years thank you Dublin I miss you and I will see you very soon!
this river runs deep whatever you say I almost drowned whatever you say this river runs deep you walked away whatever you say this river runs deep you have long legs I’d say this river runs deep I almost drowned no matter what or why or when this river runs deep I’d say this river runs deep well done those long legs helped you walk away no matter what I say but still this river runs deep I say but maybe I am totally wrong!
Don’t say you are leaving I am already at the door don’t say you are bleeding I already hold the sore don’t say you didn’t mean it I already know the score don’t say you are sorry I already already already I already love you more
I seek beauty this I know is true I seek truth I seek joy I seek cigarettes I seek yesterday this I know is true I seek me I seek free I seek we but I will never ever again seek you this I know is true .
