Conal McCarthy Poems

And I remember standing in a wide open meadow
Staring up at the night sky
Listening to the melody of darkness
Embracing the tranquil void
...

Living in a false identity,
Emotionless and empty,
A meaningless existence,
The living lie was I,
...

The fox playing in the wood,
Stopped where it stood.
The trumpet sounds,
Starting the hounds.
...

Alone in the deepest hell,
Searing agony,
Screaming silence,
Repeating death,
...

Trapped in the unchanging world,
Day by day time passes,
Forever will my world be,
...Caged.
...

To die forgotten,
Is like fading dust,
Into the winds of eternal time.
...

My frozen tear,
Lay upon your pale cheek,
The grimness drawing near,
Enshrouding your tender soul.
...

I am lost in time,
But when I'm with you,
Time is lost with me.
...

You are the flame of my heart,
Even in the darkest cave your light is seen,
In the coldest tundra your heat is ablaze,
Nothing can extinguish your flame.
...

Here I lay, listening to my beating heart,
Wondering if it's all a dream.
I think about your beauty as art,
Looking at your face agleam.
...
