Poem: On the Beach

by Liam

As I lie here weak not strong,

My head rings clear and full with song,

Of deeds and places friends long gone.

The splash of ripple on the beach.

Warm soft sand within my reach.

Sweet high clouds in a cobalt sky.

Floating on this moment free,

Its you who moves the how in me

Whose reach touches the now in me

We communicate our intimacies,

We communicate our intrinsic feelings.

We communicate the idiosyncrasies of togetherness.

Unknown to those other mortals on the beach.

Each captivated in their own exploratory world of now.

I let the ripples relax and cleanse

Sand washes deep,

This cleans the lens of thoughts, creative and benign.

The simplicity of Profound.

The exact’ty of the boundless found.

The joy is not being held in the identity of me,

I’m experiencing the freedom of the we.

As I lie here weak not strong,

My head rings clear and firm and strong.

The splash, the ripples on the beach

Soft the sand within my reach.

The warmth that holds and sets me free,

The cobalt blue in the sky I see.

Poem: Paradise

by Liam

The cherry picked and eaten,

The day so ripe and blue.

Your lips they shine like deep red wine.

I laugh and so do you.

As wild and sweet the berry,

The buzz of bees they sing.

In the air your golden hair,

Shines with the bell that rings.

The fruit the life the loving,

The way our journey spins.

To that place in paradise,

The end where this begins.

The sun it sets so gently,

A warmth that fills the air.

The sky it turns a soft pink hue,

And we know our love is here.

The stars begin to twinkle,

This night, it comes alive.

Wrapped up in each other’s arms,

Is a paradise, for our love will thrive.

Poem: War

by Liam

This is the day for the becoming of me

I awoke to song, from the sycamore tree

To a ray of red, shot from a crimson dawn

Left those dreams of battle and horn

To shout the praise of days to come

Of truth, of love, of life, of fun

I stamped my feet to the piper’s drum

Shook with fear from

Those short-range guns

To battle, to die, to rage and rant

The young men screamed, “till death ya part .“

In the smoke, the slash, the heat of steel

The moan of pain, we red coats feel

We fell, to be soaked in blood-covered mud

While others stabbed and cut and killed

The battle plan had been revealed

Ripped by the blast of a short-range shell

The day I died and left that hell

My soul had gone, my heart stopped too

Off into the light, its comfort true.

But I entered not those pearly gates

Nor heeded the call of those forlorn

The sycamore sang of a new fresh morn

The dawn, alight with a message to sing

This is the day for the becoming a king

Return to the broken body I see

Free, cried my mind

Free, sang my heart

Free, of death which almost laughed

Limp, stumble, heal, took I so long

It’s the song I now sing

Each day at the dawn

Reminds me now forever long

Reminds me now of my life, my name

Reminds me, of the game of give and grow

Of happy friends, my family know

To share, to laugh, love and cry

That, was not my day to die

That, was my day to become what you see

The one

The true

The me

Emotional Poetry : Cry

by Liam

As I’m washed to sleep this day

Wrapped, in wind, in waves,

Which share your whispers

My thoughts of you returning speak

The soft screech of a seagulls cry

A moistened eye as you look, then sigh

“Yes” I caught your wonder through the pain

Stillness, a touch, this felt again, like

The same quiet intensity of a kiss

On lips, first brushed with passions bliss

Is this true?

I begin to awaken in the waves of you

Swimming through my head

Into the dark warm sheets she fled

Images, memories I’m left

Searching for your direction.

Poetry: The Seeker

by Liam

Are you too a seeker?

Then leave the stories,

Forget the books, the distant stars and wise old men

Just close your eyes but open your sight

Eyes alone will not crack those mysteries

Stare rather in wonder and joy

Deep into the vast universe of yourself

That mystery, those answers

Wait in patience

Wait in quietude

Wait in peace

So listen, not with ears or to words

Listen for the heart beat of the secret

Feel how love finds love

This will lift sight to insight

The reflection to recognition

The awareness to awakening

In You, you find yourself anew.

Poetry: Imagine

by Liam

In my thoughts,

I reach out not knowing when

I might touch your hair

Stare into the invisible blue of your aquamarine gaze

This imagined invitation is trust, is true

To share in depth with your blue

It’s this vision of a future fair

You playing Satè, quietly in my heart

I go smiling, fly another thousand miles to meet the part

Blinded by the intensity of a wish

To congeal my feelings, create emotions

You now page a book of poems

Remarkably eloquent insights, captured remarks

Include the jive of this emotional connectivity

As you flow, unintentionally rich into my imagination

Again and again and again.

Poem: Touch

by Liam

As we first touch

It turns out, the thoughts

Your mindfulness is an embrace

My hands run through airy space

Your invisibility fills me with a caress

Yet lips I yearn to know address

The fascination of these features fine

The curve, the flow of beauty around your cheek

Hips I seek to understand

A cascade in gold tumbles across this sky

The blue in heaven

Sparkles from within your inner eye

I know you not or why

Yet, you have entered my blood

Melting fresh as a mountain stream

This moment of recognition

Is meant to define me too

This eternity of who

This infinity of you.

Poem: Our Sea

by Liam

Like heavy clouds on a sleepless night.

Mist still covers my eyes that might

Reveal those thoughts in a tangle entwined

What had happened?

Were you mine?

These insights burnt, deep into my brain

Combustible particles tinder to flame

Hot licentious fragments of imagination

Fragrant as incense, coil from my thoughts

Your curls in brunette cascade,

Playfully around those red puckered lips

The slim silky covered hips invite

Once shared, we enjoyed the plain

Played the game of you and me.

Our rough,

Our storm,

Our sea,

Our iniquity

Who knows when we again might sail

When we again might sprinkle light

When we again might touch the night

A pod, two peas

Lovers afloat

Our licentious boat

In rough seas.
