Whatever imperfect things
We could possibly share
They will not compare
So long as I have
And hold fast to the hope
Of what perfectly could never be
S O M E T H I N G
To former self, and former friend alike.
Colm Jan 2021
The strongest steel
It splits my chest
And it feels good again
To be good and strong
Thank God the gyms are open again.
Colm Jan 2021
Why is it so hard for me?
To imagine what I can be
To hope upon another day
But also stumbling pointlessly
My soul dissipating like wisps of smoke
Enchanted clouds alive elope
Maybe is this something of a joke



(Written by two friends and myself, just one line at a time)
True story - First attempt
Colm Jan 2021
Wit is only as valuable as
the appropriateness of mind which
can begin to be, and thought of when
     For want of all moxie
     For the stress of all scholars
Implied
Ms. Bennet, Ms. Bennet, Ms. Bennet, Ms. Bennet and Ms. Bennet
Colm Jan 2021
Finding your memory
Lodged deep like a bullet wound
And in reaching past ribs, I heal
And turned out your used-to-be onto the street
And now only its recollection collects
And makes me money
All patched up, I'm headed home.

This morning I
Awoke
To a field of snow
Falling slowly as the sunset
Somehow
More radiantly than the dawn
And I
In the seeing all of this
Suddenly
With the sleep still in my eyes
Remembered
That I was free
And that the snow born wisps
Which hold no name
Were also me
Colm Jan 2021
After all of the summers spent alone
The turning autumns approach
And the attempts at running through walls
(which would not give way)

It's by lakeside fires which glow and grow
In crackling sparks lifted up

And in finding no more found
This diminishing day, once ends

For no matter how hard I try
Or wish or pray
It's always you who I don't find
As I just can't seem to make you mine
