AS ICE
 Mar 2021 NightOwls
Colm
The night won’t look the same
        It hasn’t since
You up and walked the stars into another man’s cave
        Where your flames embrace
        A future warm without
        The same old sky of me
So cold
Cold memories are cold
 Mar 2021 NightOwls
Colm
The only windows
which appeal to me
Are the two of gleaming intrepid green
        which I see in you
 Mar 2021 NightOwls
Colm
Cold coffee settles me
And stirs the morning into dew
In a warm body
 Mar 2021 NightOwls
Colm
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)
 Mar 2021 NightOwls
Colm
WELLING UP inside your eyes
A sky is born above you
And ANEW your stars cry out
 Mar 2021 NightOwls
Colm
There is no sun                          
In the morning of us                
When you're not there beside
  And the night breaks slowly  
On the rocks of dawn              
Crashing as we are
 Mar 2021 NightOwls
Colm
the harp of my heart
waits quietly for your breath
breathe into me warm
we were evergreen is underrated

Her lips are like
wet orchids, dressed in
the spring rain,
waiting to be
kissed and
caressed.

I was looking for tulips.
I found you, oleander,
deadly nightshade.
Nothing grows in the
darkness that you chose
to live in.
Had I known, I would have
left you to wilt and rot in the sun
What better way to love someone than intentionally?
Not because you have no choice but because you chose them.
