Colm - Hello Poetry

Colm Feb 2021

Don't step to me or dance in bare feet
Climbing ladders to try and see my eyes
Or mountains to find some semblance of my breeze

I'm taller than you, but not by birth
Or by choice or selective meanings, no

My style is tall and trim and sleek
Sharper than steel and whetstone combined

"Where" ask, you've been seized?

I am the stars you cannot keep
The ocean sands you could not settle
And no such gift is equal to mind

This is me (in step)

Petals

Sometimes feeling
Like a flower unfolding

Open to any passing bee
Overcaring and all giving of pollen
Of any wanting or for wanters flying by

I avail myself
Until I am tired and empty

take a taxi

When my channeled radiowaves groove
and reach your ears like LEDs
(and in mind's eye explode)
with colorful remnants of unimposing
ultra all-knowing, unimportant dues
You will want (if anything)
to pick up the phone
and (to no one in particular) call
and take a taxi beneath the moon

Residual you my cold lover memory

Like the dark cold which seeps
Through the base edges of the windowsill
Quietly and without self control
Or even the willingness to be instilled

So you seep through me like winters thaw
My bones alive with heat

And here with just the brushing glance where I thought I was safe
You seep

its 5am and i still miss you, a haiku

Cold coffee settles me
And stirs the morning into dew
In a warm body

a haiku for when it rains internally

You don't see me when
I cry, or spill over, you
see me when it rains

againness and goodbyes

you can leave (and away) any ordinary day
but you can’t always come back and walk
down this particular way
again
