Colm May 2018
Stomach full of stream and sand, sometimes I sift gold.
Passing through to understand,
that fingers never hold.
Nothing that is ever said by man, will last beyond as far as memory can carry.
Colm Oct 2020
I love the world most

When it let's me be

To just sit and breath

And to think of these

Most fervent truths

Which are known to noone

And inparted to everyone

As a part of me

In our seeing we are one

We are free
Sight unified
Colm Nov 2017
A word from noone
Means nothing at all

But a word from someone
Of significance

Is more harmonized than the angels’ song and more beautiful than the most heartfelt verse to ruminate within the soul
They do mean more at night.
Colm May 2019
This song is the sound
Reincarnate of love
Feels like to me
In the absence of be
And yet
This song is the sound
Of reincarnated love
Indeed
Mhm

Some mountains just refuse to be climbed
Don't dispair, or blame, or take it personally
No, the no trespassing signs are of their own design

At the end of the day
Say nothing
Because
It is the end
And over
Speak only of what you will do at the dawn.
Colm May 2019
Ill will held on
Dries out my hands
And cracks in the sky are never welcome
Hence why the attempt is never planned
Though apart from my old self
I find, I am
And yet
With contented say grown out of sigh
Though I may be quiet
Having pushing myself far away
In the silence, know this
You are always welcome
Le nathlam hí
Yup.
Colm Jun 2022
It's neither strong nor weak to be alone
Neither heroic nor cowardice, to try or to not
There are simply those who prefer the company of many songs
And those silent notes who do not
1Sight . Fall in love with truth first
Colm Dec 2017
Hold my hands, look into me and see the truth.

Meet me in the deepest part of the glowing forest.

If your heart is there, next of Gondolin, the same as mine.

How beautiful the stars to shine atop our heads.

Like the crowns of old. As the glowing trees ignite your eyes.

As mine have glistened at this very thought.

Perhaps to meet you there at all,

Would make my heart glow as a Silmaril.

For not even I know when this glow was crafted.

Formed out of the unknown and the song.

I wait for you.

Though to Varda your eyes,

And Yavanna your heart may forever belong.
(:

Deep and somber currents cold
Turn beneath a calming surface young
As darkness subsides above as below
No older have I grown

Seeing he
with you together
The similarities
do not perplex
So much absolve
Me of the truth
That at least in together
you’re with someone
like me
Maybe
a little bit
Similar Perplexities
Colm Sep 2021
My hollow frame is but a shell
A time trodden path
I've seen my father walk
And his shoes, his shoes
Are so familiar to my feet
Though perhaps a bit too small
They are like family to me
I love my father. So similar, yet so different.
Colm Jan 2018
On days like this
With heavy flakes
Tumbling down
All around
I wish I had another set of eyes
To lose myself in
One more time

*Mirror me
And also you
My mind
Heavy flakes indeed
Colm Oct 2017
Two great rivers
In different valleys
Wishing we could run together

Colm May 2019
You sing your Iris and I’ll sing my Creep
Hum Yellow to my Yellow Lights
So that all the night can see
Such unchained, unchanged, melodies
So what should I do in the darkness of you
When you light up my moon from July until June
What would I do if there wasn't a you
Would you sing about me like I sing about you

Colm Apr 2018
Nothing makes my heart sink
Faster to the bottom of this chest called ocean
Than a clueless defiance
A disregard for the most basic
The most respectful quiet
Shut your mouth, it overfloweth.
Colm Jun 2017
Have you ever known the most of this?
Or the truth which is
That it pulls a young man by his feet
To the bottom of the sea
When he realizes that
She isn't thinking about you
You will know it when you feel it.
Colm Mar 2020
Sit and stay
Until the clouds unravels
Till the hot coals glow
And the night calls you back
Try and try as you may
To pull the smoke out of snow
And it will outlast your hopes
For a clearing of day
Though I would be happier still
If I were creating along thr way
Sometimes the quiet
Is the creation of self
Sometimes all that you can do is just
Sit and stay
Sometimes all the stars align, and I still can't capitalize. Lol. My life.
Colm Jul 2020
Nothing has a name
More beautiful than green trees
Seeping like strong tea
Over stirring waters round
And quiet eyes beside found

Colm Feb 2020
The beauty of here
Is not me
Or that you can see
With the exactitude of what is
No, the beauty of here is you
And that you're willing to look at all
At this reflective, moonlit, sea
Thanks readers. (:

Colm Nov 2021
I look for you in the words of others
I wonder where you've gone, yet know
Colm Dec 2019
Twist and turn, our woven ways
Make gaps no more to close
Let death be the only unweaver of us
Tied to myself, you’re close
Skein is a knitting/knotted thing. Or in this case, a for lifetime kind of thing.
Colm Apr 2022
A crashing motive
Knows no fear
When downhill slide
Demands intent
And as intently as
His spirits ride
Through halls of snow
And hard packed trench
He flies
Like bluebirds
Picking fast
At the suet of life
And so the mountain beneath him
Speeds right past
Colm Feb 2021
Beauty has no name
Or surface questioning whim
Like yours engrained in
Colm Jan 2021
The greatest mind above your clear life
Born in openness and bright alight
Is the darkness within but a wink
Passing fast, her being free of time
And with loving eyes obscured, the sky
(is she and looks out, not down on us)
Colm Mar 2017
Gently
Softly
Almost sweetly

So the clouds are near to me
And to you as well

Although we are not at this time
Standing right here or there beside

How these clouds smile back as they roll by
And tell us both to our surprise
That we are watching and watched over

Since long before we each sought after
That distant star in the summer sky

We are by ourselves and each other
Mere reflections in such skyward eyes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38p43aWWRoo
Colm Sep 2018
Eyes upwards
Turning clouds
With rolling chin
And a smile to the sky forever
He grins
At the vantage point of where it begins
Skyward Glance
Colm Jul 2020
Sick of myself
Doesn't speak to half
Of how ready I am for a few hours of nonexistence
Consciousness gets tiring every few week.
Colm Aug 2019
Buried beneath the same old memories
     Are the papyrus and the paper scraps

The kind which will be eventually tossed
     Just to settle upon the winds of trash

But even still in stillness found
     Like a dream born near in this reality to pass

Though it’s a beautiful and ironic sight
     I am sleeping on your memory at last
Sleeping - A Fond Memory Past
Colm Jun 2019
Curled up like a cat
Atop a spinning world of responsibilities

Don't wake me from this weekend dream
I can bear the nightmare occasionally

Instead, cut the lights and turn the fan over me
Breathing one final breath into this lifeless beast

You can expect me not to hear so much as a single sound
When the new day comes with an irksome, early, alarming scream
Goodnight cool world

Where night ends slowly
And day begins most abrupt
We fend, waking up
K8 Haikus
Colm Mar 2017
I am weary
My eyes are wandering aimlessly
My forethought having long since lost its ability to see
Anything beyond the warm bed in front of me

O' my old friend
How I long and wish to return to you again
To pass the day slowly away
Until I am refreshed again and eager to live
Outside of this abnormality

Because I miss the normal visions I have
And this, whatever you want to call it existence
Is a much sleepier, far less enjoyable version of me

For I am weary
And yet I want to be
Rested without having to waste my time
Investing in the folds of sleep

This I know to be selfish of me
And yet no matter how hard I try
I cannot seem to close my eyes and rest my head
At either the foot nor head of my bed

Perhaps, if you'd see me, you could understand
That I am not angry, foolish, or sad
I'm just a slightly tired man
ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz
Colm Mar 2017
With mind turning ever slight
Hands on the wheel
And no arm of yours in sight
To be wrapped around this old arm of mine
I will drive on out
Into the night
Into the unknown of the next good day
As I praise his name
And drive on by
With a questioning mind out loud in my
Ever turning inward sight
Always on the wheel. (;
Colm Apr 2018
A slight smile by the side of my face
A wrinkle, a ripple in place to see
Beneath the surface
And to trace the essence of the has been me
Slyly
Colm Sep 2018
In peril elsewhere I may be
Or not
And yet
Here
In this quiet place
You may find
A small piece of me
And my quiet mind
Why was this in my drafts?????
Colm Jul 2018
In peril elsewhere I may be
Or not
And yet
Here
In this quiet place
You may find
A small piece of me
Of my quiet mind
In a wood above a town, resides lane to climb, from which we would never want to come down.
Colm Feb 2017
If you mind
Their small mindedness
Their mindlessness
Will become the beast which kills the creative genius
RIP LOL
Colm Jul 2018
Fell beings are we
Who delicate our time
Not to those causes which are above us
But to the strength of arms
And the will of the mind
For our own success
Do we see it, whatever IT may be
Though
What small recesses our minds have.
Colm Jul 2016
We are but stone stirred ripples atop the lake of the all knowing.
Ever flowing, ever moving, always steady, always growing.

Stretching out like the limbs of an overhanging tree.
Reaching out like the hands of the lovers lost at sea.

Desperately, we being again, in the shallows we are saved.
And yet I am cautious to advance upon an overlapping wave.

I am in awe to understand, that I am asleep, and I am a wake.
And no one ever knows the impact of the ripples they create.
Colm Mar 2017
No one sees me when I smile
Wider than my eyes can bear
Cooler than the coolest spring
Which you could find within this muggy summer air
Because when I grin
There is no sense of urgency or care
There is only me and my eyes which crease
Like folded paper flying through the humid air  
For my smile is this
Not because I wish to hide it
Or even because I overly care
But because my purest form happiness
Is only seen when not prepare
Alive and well in its natural state
Most often outside and always wide
Something you might see across my face
As a representation of what's inside*
(:
(:
Colm May 2021
to hold your image (in my mind)
is more difficult than I could know,
or you, could even begin to search,
[let alone find]

to hold a hand (once not your own)
no self can lend a moments peace
when searching for a hold in stone
[a fragile piece]

a gift is not always to keep

mhmm...
tbd
Colm Jul 2019
When I listen to jazz
Hot like seeping tea
As it cools like coffee directly in front of me

All I see is the ocean
All I hear is the swishing sound of the sand being turned to glass
Beneath the feet of an unwalking rhythm

Unwaking and amiss
Good jazz doesn’t walk a straight line as this
It’s a drunken rhythm and a deep sip
In love with the indescribable, naturural, eternal bliss
Smooth Jazz
Colm Feb 2020
Hopeless I would not call my romance
Too hopeful perhaps in the face of most
Plainly
I want, who I am
Who do I desire?

Perhaps, no state
But someone who cannot refrain
Alongside such
"Sun, moon, stars, rain"
Colm Sep 2017
Every human has a world locked inside of them
And the eyes see the snow globe
When it shakes, and when it falls
And when the internal wind swirls and blows
The idea that someone out there, can see you
Colm Feb 2021
Ache consumes me through
Like snow melting on the rails
You saturate mine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOSpS0WOnCo
Colm Jan 2018
The sound of snow is a beautiful thing
Catch every snowflake, you could not
But the earth can
Like the marching ants in the fruitful spring
Snowflakes need not tiptoe through the house of winter
Instead, they patter a song to sing on the frozen ground
And we, as humans are helpless to stop it from falling down
With tiny little pinprick sounds
The reign of winter falls all around*

End of storm
Beginning of season
This one... I really like
Colm Feb 2017
Regarding the snow
I hope we get hammered
I hope we get hit

I hope that the wind just blows and blows
Yet cannot decide which way to go
When carrying for us the blessing of snow

How I hope to get home
And get off these roads
Be it into a ditch
That way for a moment
That way for a bit
I would be left alone
Be it just for a minute

And if you're smiling now
Then you can relate to this
So get going dear related
Before the roads turn to slick

How I hope and hope with an honest heart
That we would see storms
Of magnificent art
Capable of incapacitating the means to work
At least in part
Let it snow
Colm Jul 2019
The hollow, empty, fickle words
The accounts and all of the time there spent
Social media is the death of all things good and decent
I say again
Social media is the death of all things good and decent
Social Lows
Colm May 2016
Though other introverts may shy, I will learn to appreciate such things.

I will link experience to metaphor, and liken this noise to the birds which sing.

Some unaccompanied, and some with voice. Some with the lyr atop the strings.

I learn this though its not in nature. We humans are such fascinating things.
Written in a crowded room
Colm Mar 2020
Pointed, sharp and searching, ever in. Some people are needles and I the thread. Integrate me if you must, though I will not be sown of my own accord. I would much rather spin in perfectly spooled schools on my own. Thus, is the nature of the singular thread, alone. Sometimes seen. And sometimes integrated in both step and social seam.

But to the occasional social seamstress, sure.
Cut me in.
