  Oct 2022 The Sick Red Carnation
Colm
Perhaps you are not as you seem
Or perhaps the problem
As it always has been
Resides with me

For I am my not that
As I'm not angry when awake
But that too often now I have gone to dreams
And dreams don't die for me

Instead, I breathe
And in sleeping
Wake
Dreams die fast, sadly
I really dont know
How i feel at all, but i
Want to feel loved please.
something empty
in my life
feels less empty
when i write
I only write,
when
I am in love
or
Falling apart.
...ثلاث خطوات لمدينة جديدة
I feel lonesome hands approaching mine
to walk me through the desert.
I tense my arms against the open night sky
which cannot be pushed away.

I want you to love my grey skies,
my pensivity that rolls across mountain ranges -
the same to me as sunshine igniting streams.
Just a different lens
through which my creature plays with light.
She is elemental
and sloughs skin off the earth like lava flowing
into the ocean to close its eyes.
I'll eat my own tail
to discover what I already know.
You are quiet... 
but everything was alive
under your eyes....
