POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My emotionally coated existence tend to spill; sometimes carefully weaved and multifaceted; other times nuanced, in perhaps, incoherent ramblings. Sounds, words, tones, pictures.. It is when seduced by intangible things, I rise ღ
For Once may age a Mirror
For Once may age a Mirror
when burdens face Knowing eyes.
Trembling Love, upon my sorrows;
Overflew Time ever so quietly
In seemingly unending bittersweet sadness
Those who couldn't face my growing struggles
Whose Souls would never face me Inside
Came, did each of their curses,
So I let them seek in Time,
while I was let asking;
Did love in their lying hearts last in Light?
It was said that Love could be found
beyond the Sun
So Moon still touched Hope in me
Yet I couldn't find my way home, ...
when burdens face Knowing eyes.

while I was let asking;

Loch an bhróin
Lake of sorrow]
I dived down into the lake of sorrow, deeper than I ever thought I would
and I chose words of a loser, as I'd never known I could
I saw my dream bleed uncontrolled, not that I really should
but all this, I did
I felt my heart die faster than the speed of the light
I saw my sun turn black, darker than the night
And I was lost, and scared, in a newfound reality
all this, I did, to me
I lost my faith and hope, like never before
I lost my truth and my love, my deepest part, and more
I lost my Self in...

Love is my Becoming]
When I rose from ashes to rebuild;
Vulnerability, and Strength, came together
as the odd everlasting couple.
I was humble, and brave, and birthed Hope, and Passion
like any other navigating and narrating parent.
They’re all a part of me, and I would guard these qualities
with determination, with c o m p a s s i o n, with authenticity.
While failing and trying again,
Anxiety and fear moved in
[I allowed them to be only temporary]
While showing up,
I met doubt
[Learned to choose my friends...

Cumas grá
Capacity to love]
To Love me is a choice,
and I want you to make that choice,
Aware and Free
I beg you, don't be with me to kill time.
We both deserve better
A Someone who dedicates space out of the day,
and with whom to chase dreams, experience life,
reach goals, and grow better.
I don't want us to waste precious opportunities,
just because moments are sometimes spent alone.
Silence is wholesome, don't you know?
Through it, I realized that I crave connection,
vulnerability, and empathy
For without...

Trust that it will Unfold;
for even what seems Random
goes in patterns
Paradoxes
glue every Illusion together

To be Mighty
What does it take to be Mighty, you ask?
How to find the edge and climb up over the holes?
How to find the energy to Breathe, to Be, to Exist?
How to Understand that you change the world around you?
How to Realize, that you are strong?
It means standing up on your own two.
Standing by your own conviction.
Standing against what you don’t hold as True.
It means NEVER compromising yourself.
Stand up.
No one wins, crawling on knees.
It means Evolving.
L O V E. H A R D E R.

Going back for Ghosts
Morning has not awoken to listen, yet
as head lights and neon signs
pass me like flickering candle lights
driving the darkness away
for split moments at a time.
I'm driving recklessly, selfishly;
stressing down my Memory Lane
recognizing past ghost travels
Hesitating.
Continuing.
The burnt out motor struggles;
wheels are down to bare rims;
Screaming to the surface
..Of Me, of Time, of Past,
Trying to spark some reaction
to my paralyzed mind.
They are scattering sounds on my mind's freeway
Free? ...

Teacht ann do
To be brought into being]
Why?
For I choose to not be blinded;
I pass pretenses,
the periphery of parameters of People and Life
and the Illusions we wrap ourselves in.
Variables become Limitations when the cloak is too tightly woven
Lest it be a veil
Clearer to See.
Lonely and willingly
I shattered through darkness and unholy actions
[unsure you would believe it]
I Drowned and hurt
in places within, that I didn't know existed
I fearfully bathed like angels do
..to Purify my Intentions ...

I mo chroí istigh
Before the Frost,
the world was ours for the taking
Love embraced us,
and we dared dreaming Greater than any form could hold.
Foolishly, it may seem,
for the ice tide had yet to flood the graveled road
where we played hide and seek
among planets and stars
It rolled in with mystery and sorrow;
in the blink of an eye
By magic too great to fathom,
even for an open mind.
And it was all over out there in the open deserted landscape
few moments of breaths and astounding gasps, ...

To the Few
Have we not awaited and danced under the surface;
Awakening the sleeping spirits, and warmed the hearts of the cold?
Are we not Everlasting; were never born and can never die;
Ever circling the sacred groves, and the Land of Old?
Have we not fought battles; in Light and Dark alike,
Created Elemental creatures, others arising with own Mind?
Have we not closed our Circles, Past with Future through the Now,
Passed times anew, and places; to awaken memory of greater kind?
Have we not...

As Night is holding you
I whisper in its silence
as the Spirit I am..
I pass you swiftly, enter your Dream;
fluttering like a Butterfly.
Kiss flowers upon your Dreaming meadow,
and have you smell my Fragrance of Light
You dream of me and smile
but you forget me again,
when opening your eyes..
And before Day arrives
I caress you gently,
as the Spirit I am..
Weave my essence in with yours
just to hold you close with reverence.
I carefully mirror you;
create water pools of Thought ...

Tá an-dáimh againn le chéile
Surfacing with gasping breaths,
as subtle as exhaling whispers
Subtle as flutter-by touches, I felt it,
and that is how I noticed you.
a ghrá!
And once I saw you spiraling through Space,
Lifetimes came crashing down on top of me.
There is no wall in a world that can hide you,
no form that can keep you in,
There is no key to fit the unlocked door,
there is no map to the unknown kin.
That is why you are aching,
Longing
deeply in your soul.
Your purpose is so pure I can barely take it
You do not need...
