Colm Hayes Poems

Fear not the coming day
You can not run nor hide away
Embrace the breaking of the morn
For in each sunrise we are reborn
...

Long night holds me wake
As darkness fills a sleep that’s fake
Awake in conciseness, a waking dream
Awaiting only the daylight queen,
...

From darkest hour to the brightest day
There has been a bound unbroken by time
And a love I fear I can not convey
Nor mean its meaning in my simply rhyme,
...

Wanting not that which ye hold so high
Leaves this heart of mine contented
For it can not fail were it does not try
It remains free from the tormented
...

We lived in a world made of sand
Our castles built under moonlight
They stood tall and they stood grand
Beacons of hope filled the night.
...

Day and night intertwine
Darkness and light outside of time
No hills no lakes, no land nor sea
This is truth, this is me.
...

I am the melancholy man who lives the melancholic dream
In the concrete jungle that grows per diem
I have lived my life by the rules they gave
A mere monotone of a monotonous regime,
...

A soul will cry a thousand tears and flood out all the earth
Washing away the fears of man and leaving no rebirth
A heart will burn a fiery rage and scorch out all the sky
Burning away the pains of age and leaving life to die
...

Hold back thy tides of malcontent
No truth is seen with fearful eyes
That view a world in times decent
When past and present meet their demise
...
