fallow thoughts, sorrows wallow
already tasting tomorrow's shallow swallow
fallen breath is all that's to follow
smallest hope, almost hollow

But I was gonna...
But I wanted to...
But I...
But...

You said you wouldn't leave!!

I feel oh so weary, I'm sorry
In disgust of my ignorance
I fear my own oblivion
My heart and mind at war
Oh! what I had done
Never meant to
I love you
My dear
(Sigh)
My first nonet! ;)
Special thanks to my teacher Blythe for her patience and providing the inspiration. Cheers! :D

Delighted I am to be inspired at this moment—
The blissful ambient scenery that's taking my breath.
Flowers, at their finest hues, reflects beauty;
Leaves dance as the wind blows.
Everything seems so perfect but—
All of a sudden—
I don't know.
Fades away—
Gone.
Sigh,  I hate it when this happens.

I am lonely, pink-slipped and home,
Wanted to be home but not like this,
I feel empty without my nine to five,
This other side looks different now.

Friends fear it’s infectious and don’t call,
Last week’s empathy becomes sympathy,
Ex-colleagues simply have nothing to say,
Redundancy is the new invisibility cloak.

If you have a job, try to remember
To call all your workless friends,
A simple “Hello” won’t **** you,
But the silence may **** them.

Mid-winter solstice, cold dawn,
The shortest day is the longest night.
Day grey skies, walking on rain empty beach.
Night bright carolling and mulled wine warming,
Friends’ festive mood balks bank depression,
The world turns and the days get longer,
On this 3rd rock from the sun
In snow-cold Dublin.

If I were to make a poem
About how you
Make me feel
It would contain
Waves of sadness
And mountains of doubts
heavy rains of anxiety
And tornadoes of thoughts
Forests of innocence
That the fires of passion
Would burn out
Lightning bolts of panic
And whirlwind of emotions
That’s all your about
You left me a mess.

Is a pain
When playing

Is expected
When rocking

Is wanted
When sowing

Is a menace
When parading

Is too much
When holidaying

Is too little
When deserting

Is amazing
When lightning

Is angry
When thundering

Is just right
When at night.

Close your eyes and see the endless sea of black rain
Listen as the waves crash on the shore of your life
Smile and make believe when you are crying inside
Think of who you damage beyond repair by your pain
Pretend you are happy when you are feeling blue -


It isn’t hard to do.

You implore me to work it hard to find another
You say it like It's just as easy as disobeying my brother
You tell me we didn't deserve our end but it was karma
That much as it were heaven, it was Hell because of the drama
You're on bended knees asking me to forgive and forget
Tears streaming down your eyes with a crimson melancholy of regret
You're urging me to shine my eyes to the doors opened
But how can I hear you when by my own despairing sobs I'm deafened
Why are you even here beseeching me to stop clinging?
Why does it feel like It's the same sad song our hearts are singing?
What are you here to do, beg me to move on or pick up the pieces?
Are you here because you love him so much or you miss my kisses?
I hope you recall how bad I am at deciphering silence
Almost as bad as I was at Mathematics and all the science
So maybe It's time you say whatever you came to say
Or just walk out, after all it won't be the first time you walk away

Trying and failing in a wasteland of work
To get the space, to think and to live in the
Moment, which we are supposed to do,
If we are to be happy in this life, instead
Of the next, which becomes more likely,
As the trying fails and the failures mount.

Nothing is important enough to let this
Happen, and giving up is not going to work,
Unless you intend to spend you eternity,
With a hell of a racket from those harps
In the clouds, which will inevitably drive,
You madder than mad for ever and ever.

Failing to fail in your wasteland of life
You get the space, to think and live in the
Moment, which we are supposed to do,
And the prospect of a hell with harps,
Is replaced with moments that multiply,
To a love of this life instead of the next.

When a gun is pointed at you,
you are afraid of the gun,
not the one who
points it
at you.
                                                            ­                    *We aren't afraid of people,
                                                         ­                      but to the thoughts that have
                                                                ­                                            come alive
                                                           ­                                                 into            ­                                                                 ­                               words.
Masked faces, tears shed with a persistent smile
