POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Ang
We were young - It was spring
But the fall comes and goes
like the friends I've loved
loved to have known today
Remember when she read
His apologies to the world
I probably would have cried
if I'd have dared to
I bought you something
from the fair
You lent me Bleach
my mind still goes there
every now and when I think of you
I would have gave everything away
at the time for a kiss
I just never told you until today
We were gonna fly into the sun
to escape the snow
I took the Camaro instead ...

Brother: In Memory of Bill Dunlop
Take down your sail
You don't need it here
Your dreams are secure
In the wake of my mind
From the River Valley
to the cold and rocky shores
With adventure and determination
From heaven and hell
What makes a boy?
What makes a man?
I'll keep on searching
I'll see you in Wind's Will
You don't need it here
Your dreams are secure
In the wake of my mind
From the River Valley
to the cold and rocky shores
With adventure and determination
From heaven and hell
What makes a boy?
What makes a man?
I'll keep on searching
I'll see you in Wind's Will

Girl in the Popsicle Dress
She walked into school by herself today and ran into my arms when I returned. We had a special day together. Her mammy out for the day with her dad. Silly me I forgot the pinic. Well it made a few laughs and chats with the lads (Rainbow Cat, Kitty, Flowery and all the slippers too). Blanket spread in front of the martello tower on Red Island. Watching a family on their kayaks as we ate, snuggled and laughed.
We missed the que for icecream. She pointed to all the candy fairy doors. Strawberry in a cup. Walked slowing on the pier holding her hand tightly. Watching the...

I haven't showered in days
My brain numb fom haze
Too much cannabis
How can I get over this
You left me alone
Abandoned by the phone
Little boy with big brown eyes
Im not your father's lies
Im here. Im right here
Ive got your back little boy
I know your story
You need not worry
So run to me
Throw your arms around me
Ill carry you to your glory
You were just a child
The things you seen
All all monsters
Well you slain them all
But dont you worry
You make it...

Crisp waters as morning fog rises
With the sun of today reflecting
On memories of my progeny
All awaiting for something
I wish I knew
All the voices echo through the
Canyons like electric pulses
Stimulating stillness internally
Rising like rainbows rippling
The supltley in today
Yesterday is galling from burden
Bare on my skin, musty and old
Now black green checkered balm
Sifting sand in aging hands
Motionless in this matrix
Garland's ecapitulation urges
For our tenure...

Nodding off the Ha'Penny Bridge
Exeperience is always on offer. Good and bad. Once would never be enough for me. I'd go straight into my vein so I could go to sleep for a little long while.
Romanticising in my lonely space as I just say fuck it to the world. Goodbye to everything and everyone I've ever loved before
Id be nodding off on the Ha'penny Bridge with a coffee cup. Saving all my change for a pick me up. Delegating my time. Searching for the first time feeling.
Miss Liffey waits in silence while my reflection screams at all these distorted faces. Are they just...

Saint Beaumont
I can't explain it. Questions deep
I'm looking in your heart
But I can feel it
3000 miles and they're all to blame
Last night I felt it
The world is falling down on me
I must admit it
That I'm fractured from the guilt
Of all these past transgressions
I know the pain ultimately it's real
The sun was shining
Obstacles around me they swim
Never knowing
That I feel like life isn't real
I smell the sour
Melting paint off the walls
Watching the drunkard and clown
Is she for real
Me I'm...
