Colm
A fish can say to a frog
   "I am a tree
    And you a leaf"
But that doesn't make it so
In truth or shade
Midst nature and in light
They were designed as neither such to be
On top of which
It's different languages they speak
We are the only painted creature, by the hand of God, who thinks this way. Not Angels, or birds, or bees. But our awareness and being makes us different.

You have been holding me
Like a flower in your palms
I tried to wither but
You held me tighter

I felt like I'm slippery
Like a fish you want to tame
I tried to jump back to the water
But you didn't let me

Now your embrace hurts
Your grip is drowning me
In my own tears of sorrow
And not the ground underneath

I want to be one with the stars
I want the moon to comfort me
I want it to take me where I belong
Two feet under a bouquet of rose

I never asked for you
But you came anyway
Thank you for the chance, Life
But I would now walk away

I remember from years ago
We were quiet
In the dark
How I only heard my heart
Racing

I think you were looking at me

I remember last month
Sitting next to you
Listening to the music
But still hearing my heart
Racing

I know you were looking at me
In the dark

You were looking at my soul

It's been a while
Since I came here
It's been a while
Since I thought about you

If flowers are supposed to bloom
Why have I always been dead
If love is supposed to last forever
Why am I all alone
Her voice isn't the melody you wanna miss out on
There's life in it
It won't only leave you mesmerized but will make you crave for more
Every line
Every breath in it
Its a serenade that keeps you awake in the night
A ballad you would dedicate to someone you love
I had to lose myself to rediscover myself.

he's here

and once again i fall slowly
light as a feather
gravitating to the river
to be washed away
by the peaceful flow
