Three poems that may explain:
End
feeling like a loosened end
an unwrapped ball of string
wondering when I clambered down
where I misplaced the will to sing
secrets splashed across the screen
naked offering to the crowd
weighed and judged with nothing known
forbidden feelings now so loud
needing things we dare not seek
holding tight to histories
missing times we've never shared
scared to acknowledge fantasies.
Dreaming of Tir-na-nog
Nations raging as indifference prevails
Night falls and the candles flicker and fail
In the sunset.
Reminders of the explosions in the past
The failures and the final gasps.
The evening draws its funeral watch
The mind claws for its conscious reward
Here are the efforts of the day
All things dreamt and imagined pass away
New to you I come
Tired and silent
To the beating of a hollow drum
Still in a Celtic fog
I lay me down in Tir-na-nog
Celtic beauty, American shade
Turn the world to purple the eyes away
I lay me down in this Western fog
Steal my soul for Tir-na-nog,
Steal my soul for Tir-na-nog.
Hidden soul
Finding that hidden soul
Beyond the places we can control
Finding that hidden soul
Between the spaces and mental folds
Seeing the bigger truth
Picture painted of something new
Explore a language above the clouds
To realise and have no doubt.
