Poetry: A Whisper 

by Liam

Into the distance, I whisper, ”Tell me about the patience of thy art.”  

To those, who’s gaze beyond my eyes to heaven’s shore,  

And whisper soft, “Let silence play its part;  

Forbearance leads you to your deepest core.”

The path of Love, is a journey of the soul,  

A song that mind alone can’t ever sing.  

It whispers truths the heart has always known,  

Beyond the grasp of thought’s own imagining.  

So let your spirit rest in quiet grace,  

And trust the timing of the stars above.  

For patience, like an artist, finds its place,  

And paints with care your masterpiece of Love.  

In stillness, allow the wonder to unfold,  

For patience turns your leaden dreams to gold.

Poetry: Shit Luck Dude

Poem: Shitluck Dude

by Liam

He kicked the dirt with his boot heel high,

Jacket dusty, jeans ripped at the thigh.

Tongue cracked and dry, by nicotine and Jack D.

A night at the table with the cards and McFee.

Ace of Spades, Queen of Hearts,

Colors, numbers, royalty, cards.

The poker made broker the longer night,

McFee had the hand, in the other a knife.

Dude, hit the shit at a quarter to four,

The cards were down, the money no more.

Jack D was dry, Lucky’s gone up in smoke.

He spat on the floor, no one laughed at the joke.

A fist cracked his jaw, the blade sliced into his thigh.

He butted McFee, blood burst at the eye.

Kicked in his groin, the poor bastard screamed.

Game was now over, Lucky he seemed.

Then he grabbed the bucks,

Glass crashed to the floor.

Notes flew through the room,

Stumbled, while running out into the gloom.

The tale’s not over, the story not done.

Shitluck dude had had his fun,

Then turning round with a bloodshot eye,

The barrels blasted and Shitluck cried!

Spun to the floor, shoulder spurting red blood.

Pain was crazy as he chewed the mud.

Then twisting his head, a glint still in his eye,

He cracked a smile, before he died.

Waiting

Poetry: When I Wait
by Liam

When I wait
The dawn will turn to day
Suspicion will go away
You, will be here to stay

When I wait
The rose will share it’s sent
The snow will begin to melt
You, will feel what I have felt

When I wait
Your moments they will pass
So too memories of the past
You, will simply loose your mask

When I wait
The sails will fill the sea
All time goes still in me
You, will feel truth and see

When I wait
Your silence will awake
Your soul will in you shake
Your love will in me take

Us to a bright new day.

Smile

Poetry: Smile

by Liam

In our living, called existence, where moments unfold,

Lies a treasure, more precious than gold.

It’s found in my smile, warm and sincere,

Love is expressing, what makes life dear.

Within this simple gesture, a miracle true,

Tumultuous joy, makes life like new.

This power, the light, creates the strength to ignite,

From darkness , Gods given day shines bright.

We carry burdens, also the worries we hold,

Smile it’s simple , they will all gently unfold.

A moment of connectivity, a bridge to the heart,

A smile reminds us of the love we part.

With each smile given, a ripple does ensue,

A wave of kindness, spreads love anew.

From soul to soul, its impact resounds,

Infusing each breath with harmonious sound.

Oh, the beauty of a smile, so pure and serene,

A testament to life, where love is seen.

It awakens our spirits, igniting the flame,

That burns deep within, our passions to claim.

So let us remember, as each passing day leaves,

Be a sunbeam scatter joy like light through the trees

For in this humble act, a miracle does transpire,

Making life worth living, setting our souls on fire.

It was only a smile, freely given to all,

But its radiance transformed, answering the call.

To uplift, to inspire, to brighten the strife,

Embracing the essence, the gift we call life.

The Doorbell

Unexpectedly at a dinner party it was commented upon that I was a writer and poet. On confirmation, the commentator then asked me to spontaneously write a poem about a woman’s breast and a doorbell to prove my command of the language. This is what I wrote.

Poetry: A Woman’s Breast and the Door-bell

by Liam

Let my attest, this thing address

The beauty of a woman breast

Is that which, when the door-bells rung

Will open, in she’ll come

It’s then alone, not before

The fun begins, leads to more

Than bells could ring when heavens door

Too opens wide

She will let you slide inside

Hear aloud the angels sing

What a price this bell did bring

You my friend must wear her wedding ring

So caution be when at the door

For a woman’s ring means so much more.

The Ancient Mariner

Poetry Poem: The Ancient Mariner

Poetry Poem: The Ancient Mariner

To the wind and the waves

With the mast in the sky

Sails pulled taught and the seagulls cry

My home is the sea the storm and the blue

White clouds flying through the rigging too

The crack of sail and the cold flung spray

It’s the wide horizon on a windy day

Which calls the shanty to my weathered lips

Of whales and maids of pirate ships

Of tea at the hearth and a hot clean bath

The trick is over the passage past

The cargo stowed like my memories too

In a locked treasure chest

On my arm tattoo

To my dreams I’ll fly in the night to come

Where again I’ll journey the me so young

Across oceans and seas where I had the life

Traders rum and the whetted knife

I’ve done the turn

I’ve lived the life

I’ve carried the burden

I’ve had the strife

Now it’s time for the hot cupa tea

It’s my children’s children who listening see

Those days far flung

Far deep in me

The wave the wind the dark blue sea.

Poetry: Numbers

Poetry: One to Eight

by Liam

The one Divine permeates the pattern

Man and Woman create the third which crawling cries

Four corners build the framework of the dwelling

These five senses connect you with a driving mind

The six directions bind you with a life to strive for

Be as clear today as you are in all seven

Be to heaven as you appear

with God innate

Poetry: Play

Poetry: Play

by Liam

I become intoxicated by love

True,

I drink deep and more

This ruby wine flowing from the goblet of my life

Inebriated, I dance, spin circles

Each day a kaleidoscope of joy

To rise again with the sun

To sink again with the stars

Life life life

You wondrous-thing

You joyous friend, let’s play.

Poetry: Requirements

Poetry: Requirements

by Liam

I am where I am

You there where you are too

Still, no need to fret or stare

Because I do what I can do

Here now alone with what I’ve become

With you too it’s a complicated whole

No longer alone

Which leaves us asking why?

Which weaves us closer to the whole

Which temporarily fulfills the requirements of now.

Meaning you are who I’ve tried to become

But why?
