Burning Thoughts

To put your thoughts to paper
And the flame to thought until it flies
Into ashes enbrace
Until it becomes the sky

Sixteen

I look for you in the words of others
I wonder where you've gone, yet know

Colm Nov 2021

with truth like moonlight

fear holds no candle
to the cooling night of truth
which overwhelms the blinded eyes
and - in its own reflective way - shines through

this moonlight is my own steadfast renewed

sometimes I feel called to speak - it's not often, but it happens

Cookin

Shouting into the void is not vanity, but humanity
Whereas shouting into a crowd is just insanity

Colm Nov 2021

By the time you read this, I will be asleep

This thin and failing, streak of light
   lights up my face
And shows the yesterday memories
   to the door away
And I, am tired, writes itself
   across my face
   almost handsomely

Lovers haiku

The edge of night now
Holds nothing to your sunlight
Frame outlined by day

The outlines created

Lovers voice in my inbox

Even tree whispers
Cannot compare
To the words once left
In perpetuity, mine
To touch and kiss
With loving ears
To caress and ever remind
This mind
Of the way you once
Would leave words behind

For me

Such a simple sound
