Floating within turmoil
Hovering above
Crashing no more amongst the shores of love
I see the wave and fly
Higher unto high

My world is words
My pen my ears

And all I want right now
Is to hear

You
And you alone

All other noisey words can go
Back into their never homes

Alone

Indulge me please
Colm Sep 2019
Someday, they'll burry my grave, long after the ink and parchment have faded.

Long after my thoughts have longsince passed into the undying lands.

I just hope that my neices don't have to burry me

Which is why now I search for a new family.
Inadequate Search
Colm Apr 2020
A walking wisp took my hand
The other lifetime for a spell
And in leading us to a flooded field of homeless tails
And endless tells

Outback with water through my shoes
I with-saturated-held
Onto her with everything I had
Yet forward I still fell

Into a flooded field of endless tales

I'll trade you

The warm breath of this night in June
To be replaced by the warming breath of you
Just below your fine and fearsome eyes
In such a heartbeat I could be satisfied
Instantly

I'll trade you
Sounds fair to me. Just an abundance of June nights. (;
Colm Jun 2018
As close as the rain which runs down the veiny leaves of the poplar trees. Closer still to you and to your thoughts do I wish to be.
Slowly as I did, to descover this desire within me.
Colm May 2019
Straw hemmed down
Crackling beneath collapsed feet
And folded underneath
Like a prayer
I'm bound to you and to this moment
Like a song
I wait for the inevitable record scratch
And the crackling repeat
Of whenever we roll
Over the breaking backs of the strawfall down
On the bed we made
Where our young bodies first did meet
Vision
Colm Apr 2019
Familiar as clock chimes from younger days
The reinforcement of fact, and that
No matter how little my ability to stay, may be
When the time is right
And the world at peaceful lingering, I
Is where we will find and stay
Remaining in a gentle, outlined memory

Where capable love - becomes compelled to try
And turns into "he acts"
Even when she is "intent on inaction"

There is no-one so capable - this nothing more senseless
Than the song upon deaf ears
Which falls in a beautiful hum, regardless

Because you made up your mind about me long time ago
In this day and age, you only get one shot at certain things. Which is fine, but not always fair. Meh, this is life.
Colm May 2018
Having children of my own, somewhere, someday...
Will be to me, the most phenomenal distraction from self which could ever be...
Because what else will you have to live for (besides faith obviously) when you're 50-60?
Colm Dec 2019
And in asking of self, most honestly, said
“Are you afraid, once you’ve spoken the words, that you’ll truly be free?
That you’ll fall off the earth without purpose or being
Just because you’ve finally shared, what for so long you yourself could not see?“
I am afraid of this?
Perhaps, maybe
You ever feel like you were meant to do something? Edging closer and closer towards creation. And then, the closer you get it the more negative your inner self becomes? I swear, half, or at least two thirds, of my own problems are just me talking to myself.
Colm Jul 2016
Indicators of the night sky, bursting bright.
The kind of bugs which glow so brightly it must surely hurt their buggy eyes.
In the summertime they come alive, to illuminate the dark of night.
And slowly wake by no mistake, to congregate and enjoy their lives.
Because they are the fireflies and it's with the summer they coincide.
Like a lightning storm or an electric hive, they soar as more than just common flies.
Perhaps the owl of old was right when he said that you wouldn't believe your eyes,
At the ten of millions of indicators, burning across the open sky.
Colm Mar 2017
Did you know that when it rains
It secretly rains on us all?
Buildings or not
No state or county line alive
Can divide those underneath from which it falls
The glorious sky
The bellowing sky
Which opens up its eyes every morning
Just to look and see that we are yet still alive
And even though that same old sky
Which connects us though cannot love
It’s only because of such blessings from above
That we can learn to live and love at all
On that note...
Colm Mar 2021
I dream
Of the shadows we would cast
And in moonlight drape ourselves
And make
The flowers we'd align with rain
As we celebrate
The no more of snow
And the frozen pond on which we'd skate
For no less than an eternal day
Like sunlight to hold
Close until we have our own
End of night alight
Sleeping in each others confidence
Without even being awake
And I
Cannot, will not, wait
At least to dream
Of these such things
And in other words make dreams
Of another heighted sky alive
Colm Apr 2019
Who I am
And if I'm good enough
True enough to be
Should not be my concern
Because when someone wants to see you
They generally see

In due time
All is seen
In due time
Colm Jul 2020
Humming by the rivers run
My feet at a loss for words most forward
Nothing is left in the wake of everything
And I’m certainly not bored
But stop
And by the meadow besideme you may see
Like water or breath
Like droplets of sunlight behind concrete cold
Or faith and love and homeruns high
I need this time like the trees need the sky
And in not knowing I
Find that I cannot breathe in this sort of life
Colm May 2017
The best is when the conscious mind
Focuses in on what it knows
On what it is
Never once considering what it means
To be that "something" for someone else

Simply looking around
Tells me enough about myself
To know that someone, someday
Will walk by my shelves in all of their glory
And smile at the mind in which I've built
It's really at the corner of inevitability and patience.
Colm Jun 2021
Don't care for shadows
Just as sunshine cannot keep
And stars must burn out
All in their oceanless end
So we also soon will be

(Inevitable)
Yup
Colm Dec 2017
The strength I have, will fade.
The moment at present, is past.
The second I win, I’ve lost.
And the instant I live, I'm dying.
That is not to say.
That the moment of hope, is hopeless.
Or that the second you find, you'll be found.
But that there always is truth and the opposite.
And the grace there within to be found.
Without his grace and mercy...I'm nothing.
Colm Mar 2020
No matter how hard I try
How far I hike
No hands can hold back waves
Or ears can hear the true skies voice
Just as no trees stay
And no sun remains the same for more than a single night
No matter how hard I try and fight
How high I climb or fast I fall to the ground
No inevitable escapes life
Colm Dec 2019
Your mind — Full of itself
Your heart — Lying
With all ambition but a distraction
Don't try of you will lose yourself
On such small things
Relying
This blasted verse. This ****** thought. Has been in my head for weeks on end. Because one of my problems is that I value my own thought and forethought too much. Eventually traveling the same paths over and over again just to see if I can be, at peace there. When God alone is the purveyor of peace of mind. Not me. He.

End. Hopefully.
Colm Jul 2022
Take another pass
Find no (new) hopes to smash
There is nothing left on these shores of mine

All that remains to do - is to laugh
Colm Apr 2020
Streaming sunlight calls
New beginnings like a day
With existence old
And remembered fondly found
The familiar ways return
Some things you can just feel, as inevitable as the daylight unfolding. It happens, and you knew it would.
Colm Apr 2022
Expectations are dangerous things
Don't stand, lest you fall
Try, or fail to try, lest you become someone
Either way heartbreak comes for us all
Colm Apr 2016
As if deep in sleep, devoid of dreams.
It's the simple way you caress the words, which inspires me.

To write and reach, yet fall short of you.
Though your tongue paints such a vivid scene.

How could I not try and partake?
How could I not wish it to be?

I'd reach my hand through glass for you,
Just to give you words from within me.
Her voice is beyond enchanting. Good lord.
Colm Jun 2020
Words are worth
Infinitely more
When they’re etched in your own currency
(time well spent)
Write For You And You Alone
Colm Jun 2018
Licking the cider off my ice cubes
I'm in love with words
And the sights of you which I've yet to see
Multiplicity
Colm Jul 2020
I dream of a world
Where you hear my words
Letting me wander until my oceans run dry
And then in your arms up stream hold still
And onto everything grasp
As if in every river you wanted to dive
Hear me, here. Hold me.
Colm Jun 2020
Ilsa didn't see the stars
She . was . the . sky
And held the starlight gently in her ever glistening eyes
Colm Aug 2017
If you suspect that you've made a mistake
And it's me
You have
But not at all the mistake you were thinking of
Initially
I can't stand such relational fear. Honestly. You shouldn't try and fly if you don't have wings. Because you can't keep me from the sky.
Colm Dec 2022
Expressions cannot run like ink
    They can only hold fast
To the paper of memory
    And at our feelings . Grasp
For just a moment to pass
   And think though they will not last
Colm Feb 2020
When conversations grow darker than night skies cold. And the tree leaves on the breeze fail to whisper the truth. What happens then, after Summer, so far away from the Springtime of youth? I don't know, but ergo Autumn. And with this quote end. Just as the rocks below look up to the sky above. Marylan spoke my mind in synonym that day, and so I'm through with love.

Colm Oct 2019
In mind a young mans fortune told
His sky colored and emboldened by light

Though the story is winding like a forest old
Falling into complexity at every summers end

It's in discovery And time
Which you are found

Lest I find
That I loved not you but this image of mine
He named her and I couldn't help but laugh, at his lack of a tangible definition.
Colm Oct 2020
Beautiful shade falls freely from these trees beneath this autumn day. Cascades like hope while padding like rain. With puddling saturated truthful rays, it streams like rivers and reflects on kings. With a whistling harp over hills unseen. And this, all this, is your favorite thing. Moreso than me to be underneath. Perhaps, its understandably so. Such fair and free beings in the shade of these most loving trees, I see. Finally see. I am you. And one with you are me.

As a support of one such political property
Of a soul who seems to be so happily
Bartered off and begged and sold
On the corner of progress
Like prime the rib real estate
(Which ***** is)

I fear no more for my self or my morals
But for my mind I fear ardently
That this IT will unravel and unwind
If ever again I look at either side and see
Anything less that a creaply constructed property
(Sold off seemingly without want or kind)
Is there no one left to actually serve and do the will of the people? Absolute disgrace across the board.
Colm Feb 2020
Moonlit lips I often kiss
Too run around with sunlight
.........
Stare longingly at rainfall out
At leaves Fall down
..................
The ocean and her daughter longing
Calling me to avail myself to their dreams of being
...........................
When really, too often there I am found out
Too often called by name
....................................
Because I love the same familiar sounds
Of natures romp abound
...........................
Hence why the beat of a familiar breeze
In my head of hearts, always pounds
..................
Quiet and
Consistently there
.........
EE said it best - Sun, Moon, Stars, Rain
Colm Jan 2020
Every morning when I hide my untie
Turn on a podcast out the door
And stumble through the cold
In my secretly Italian coat
I leave with coffee
Hot poured with opinions over sleep
And my inner child switches on the N64
Pours hinself some chocolate milk
And gloats
Holding his eternal freedom over me
Kids will be kids. Even your inner child. #skipwork

Favorite game?
Colm Jul 2020
I am balance
Aimed precision
A conscious living vision embodied
And driven like the snow to fall
The rain to well and burst through clouds
With inevitable hope
And warmth which you will know
My aim as always this to grow
Baseball is magic.
Colm Feb 2020
Life was once to me
A slate to chisel
Frame to feign
With stars the occasional to see, unfelt
When really
As an owl
I never knew a sunrise word until I stopped seeing the morning
Night guy. Tried that. (;
Colm Jun 2018
Sometimes my stomach empties
And it feels like I
Could consume the sky
With a single breath of air

But when I see my peers
And their success
How quickly I forget
Every win and concurred fear

The hunger is an eternal thing
With an observation to see
But the memory of what ere I've won
Ought to be enough for me
On competition.
Colm Nov 2020
Put a river before me, dry
   I drink
   An insatiable sea I'll be

Set a star between myself and my sky
   And watch
   And wait
   And see (what I will be)
Colm Jan 2020
Everywhere I go, unseen
The prevailing narrative being
"I could not speak to he"

Tall and menacing
Quiet and stern
So well and in his pace, to flee

Looking quietly past the height of me
And quickly away by chance
But you

In passing with a scrolling spree
I adore when you can read as this
I adore when you see me
In sight, see
Colm Jul 2021
Shorts which curl, and justify just half way up her thigh
Him outlining her, like the moonbright edge of a starless night
They in perfect unison align
In a quiet breeze breathed out between
And know nothing less until their mutual sunlit dawn, arrives

Slowly...
Gradually...
Residually...
Daily...

That's what he means when he says that she... "Pulls on his heart like she pulls on the sea."
Gergoryyyyyy.

To be had
I don't know where you're at
But this coffee has me
Colm Oct 2018
I wish our waves would crash
Our stars would pass
At a lesser distance, magnets meet

Our shoes to shed beneath our feet
And boots to knock together in the rain

I would wish the sun and moon to cry
And to always be the same
And that time would pass more slowly now
When observing your most youthful frame

Would you hear it as a rustling
As a crashing of waves within echo ears?
Would the sand between our fingers stay
And forever be the same?

You’re my type of breeze
The height of trees
Whispering in the arms of wind
HGS

Mhmmm

Oh snap - HondaGirlSeries
Colm Oct 2017
Everywhere I go
She’s in the corner of my eyes
Like a fly
But I don’t mind
I don’t mind
Who would mind? LOL
Colm Mar 2018
Writers block is a state of mind

Pour yourself out
Fill your cup
And caffeinate

Don't ****
But live the time
This is one of the many ways I wish to live my life. Lol.
Colm Jan 2020
Forget about you
Not now, nor ever
No star is forever
But your burning is eternal
In the mind of my night sky
Love without knowing. Wait for it. (;
Colm Jun 2017
When I'm like this
I can paint on the wind with a feather brush
And mix the colors fervently

Though I do not stain

I can hold the canvas however I please
And hang it on a lively tree
Just for you to see

*The way which these creations have made me
Because a creator creates....happily.
