For P, and the time you remind me of.

It began with magic.
A brush of tingling fingers, a quiet wish,
a burst of sunshine in your crooked smiles.
Latin dances and shy glances that became a habit;
heady laughter, whispered secrets, fairy-lights in your eyes.
Letting your hair down, spinning in the rain;
singing our song, lunch at one, painting on the wall.
Holding hands—sharing halves the pain.
You're the fairest one of all (It was so easy to fall).
We were perfect symmetry: light and love,
dark and sweet, yin and yang. Eternity
was destined, a proclamation from above.

Wistfulness on a Rainy Day
It's raining this morning, sharp and
green. Under the waning light
the world wraps itself in
shades of grey. From under
the wood bridge comes the
thunder of three rivers' waters
clashing against each other; soon
they came to a place where they
make peace, and go together churning,
churning, into the sea. Fleshy
people huddle forlornly under
the sheds and alcoves, doves with
wet ruffled feathers. Without
a sound, they are swallowed up
in the mist. The cloud-blanket
parts with a grumble; the rain
falls out of bed with a
sound like the pattering of
little feet, everywhere.
I draw a heart in the
window frost, with wings
My Last
(Poem)
Maybe I enjoy suffering
Setting myself up for hurt
A deep dark pit of depression
Is digging itself just for me.
Now here I am balancing on the edge
Grasping onto rays of hope
bright like sunshine
Frail as the wind blows it away
As well as the clinging mist
the blanket of confusion
To reveal that morbid hole
Calling me.
I'm slipping.
Grasping still.
Toppling over.
If you catch me
Don't let me fall.
if I'm worth it.

Prayer of the Self-Deceiver
Prayer of the Self-Deceiver
(Poem)
It hurts deep
down to the roots
of my soul, to
know I do and
you probably never will.
You're too obstinate to
see what's right here;
too terrified
to accept the truth;
Too confused to discern
through your problems.
Too proud
to admit I'm right.
The saddest lies
are the ones
we tell ourselves.
If you won't accept
it I will. I'll love
enough for the both of us.
Just, please be
there with me
always.
The Soulreaper's Song
(Poem)
As dark crimson
flows over ivory snow,
the Light slowly recedes
from brightest pools
of deepest blue. Strands
of ebony silk slide
gently over satiny skin.
The ghost of a smile
seems to flitter
about the rosiest petal-
soft lips. And having set
you free to soar
into the great blue
canopy above, I stand here
looking at the cold
iron rings of
the chain which
once secured you
to this life. I set you free.
As dark crimson
flows over ivory snow.
Colors
Yellow is
The warmth of satisfaction
The feel of true acceptance
the sound of a real smile.
The happiness that envelopes you
In a moment of pure bliss
Blue is
The luxury of trust
The color of the ocean breeze
the feel of music.
The blanket of relief that washes over
Your soul in tranquility
Red is
The touch of a warm hug

The wind was calm and warm,
Though the clouds seemed foreboding -
But when didn’t they?
I sat on a grey wall,
And looked out at a grey world.
—
The Atlantic Beast churned,
The dry ground ordered a retreat,
While Neptune’s forces rallied.
I fought back with stones,
But they skipped of the ocean’s back.
—
In the silver sand I had
Written my name with stones,
Then buried them deep entombed,
For future archaeologists to find,
And wonder who I was.
—
On Youghal’s coast I sat,
And wondered who else had
Stared out across the Ocean
And was lost to thought.
And the grey was never dull.
