Beach Leanbh Poems

Cherrywood fibers converge and yaw

Hiding and revealing her basalt eyes

She floats away while my heart dries

Embered feelings frail as straw
...

Time your tears to the tides
To ebb and flow with the ocean
Or let them wax as the moon subsides
The pale dimming of your emotion
...

Scorned masses cannot perceive my heart
Their hearts lay broken on the grass. Fallowed, lifeless, empty and without function
While mine shoots abundant. Ever growing, ever reaching upward
...

I recline alone as death awaits. My obit pendent from above

Forever lost without your taste. Grasping, gasping for your love

 My heart and soul, codependent, unfunctioning lifeless and alone

Like notes without a hand to play, impossible to intone
...

Watermelon lips part and land upon my own
While honeydew tongue dances unlike any I have known
Heightened senses recoiling each touch in celebration
And foggy thoughts float in blissful inebriation
...

Orbits lit, a match to shine upon the twilit sky
Her flow defines - she is Artemis, sister to the sun
She glimmers as the last sunset ray upon the sea
An abstruse gambol, the bands 'round my soul untie
...

A night alone and watching, waiting
Skating through my frozen mind
While cogs are set to the translating
Decoding love upon the sill
...

An aria of life breathed through her lips
Her unique persuasion caught into view
Syncopating Earth’s roundness to ellipse
Bending, contorting all that would be true
...

I know your heart, and all its pain
Of guilt and hurt and loneliness
And once alone I’ve felt the strain
A shadow on your loveliness
...

Set once my heart unstirred but traveled
As stone it froze to stick in place
Until again to behold your face
It’s binding cords now loose and unraveled
...
