The blue waters hushing the land,
The sun hides behind the clouds stilling the land,
the winds breeze brushing the flowers,
in Ireland the land speaks


She makes me dream
I laugh at the thought of her
It is as though she has set me free
she makes me dream
The most wonderful dreams
These are two separate poems that I wrote many years ago I thought you might like them.
Have you ever been lost?
I'm not the one who has.
Yet I think you are.
Have you ever looked up?
I see a moving sky.
Yet you believe it is unmoving
Have you ever disliked Crying?
I tend to cry for fun.
Yet you resist the tears.
Have you ever been angry with me?
I don't know why you would be.
Yet I feel like you are.
Have you ever wondered what people think of you?
I've never met you, but I think of you.
Yet you have only now thought of me.
Have you ever thought you are beautiful?
I don't think I am.
Yet you may be think I am.
Have you ever asked yourself questions that no one else can answer?
I am asking my self some right now.
Yet you are waiting for this to end.
Have you ever thought about stopping?
I might soon
Yet you won't
Can I ask you a question?
I think it's a good question
Yet you may have your own
Isn't it wonderful what we think?
I think about it a lot.
Yet maybe you do too.
The thought was planted
The dream was sowed
The tears were shed
The sweat poured
and from those
thoughts,
dreams
Tears,
Sweat
A seed grew into a tree
Solid tears frozen to the edge of the freezer,
Frostbite eats away at the heart,
Severed limbs sit heavily on the rack,
Colors change from red to grey,
The light hum of a forgotten fridge,
The house lost of life,
The city empty,
The world spoiled

               Tears,
Shout
                                      These

Thanks for reading
I can Dream of gods and goddesses,
I can Wish upon stars and flowers,
I Expect none of it to come true,
I can Dream of being famous and powerful,
I can Wish to be intelligent and handsome,
I Expect none of that to be true,
I can Dream of beauty that parallels the gods,
I can Wish for love that extends beyond the stars,
I Expect none of this to come true,
I can Dream of you,
I can Wish for you,
I Expect only that you Dream & Wish the same.
I wrote this for a fairy :D
I scratch at it
The pain only grows more
but how?
Why?
The wound begins to open
It spreads from the nothing, I have in my chest
I continue to scratch at it, even against the wishes of others
I fear that this wound will do me in
I plead with doctors, to sow it up
I ask the scientists to preform tests, to fix it
I pray to gods and the universe, to calm the itch
But all reply with a solemn sorry, and a pat on the head
Now I begin to ask myself
How can I stop scratching at the wound that comes from nothing in my chest?
I have tried it all
Love
Hope
Travel
Peace
Violence
Rage
Sleep
Everything
Maybe it is not my chest that itches?
Maybe it is not my chest that has the wound?
Maybe it is not my chest that has nothing?
Maybe it's my hands that itch
that have wounds
that produce nothing
I don't know
Maybe.
I came up with this on the spot because my chest actually itched and I thought of writing this poem. Any comments appreciated :)
