Seán Mac Falls Feb 2013
She found love after—
Drowning in dry beds then rose,
  .  .  .  Waters upwelling.
Seán Mac Falls Aug 2013
We walk lonely shores,
Under fog of noonday sun,
  .  .  .  Shining lake waters.
Seán Mac Falls Oct 2012
Greatest gift from her,
Subtle hint— love's beginning,
Bright gleam in her eyes.
Seán Mac Falls Jan 2015
My heart, simple gift  .  .  .
Lone leaf dancing in the wind,
  .  .  .  We wed in autumn.
Seán Mac Falls Apr 2013
Christened ringing bells,
Prints of sky touching the earth,
  .  .  .  Rains in still water.
Seán Mac Falls Oct 2012
She said she loved him,
He heard words burn into stone,
Now temple ruins.
Ogham is sometimes called the "Celtic Tree Alphabet", based on a high medieval Bríatharogam tradition ascribing names of trees to the individual letters. The etymology of the word ogam or ogham remains unclear. One possible origin is from the Irish og-úaim 'point-seam', referring to the seam made by the point of a sharp weapon.

My life once shining  .  .  .
Short sun in cold winter white,
Snows blanket mountain.
Seán Mac Falls Nov 2012
World of colour fades,
We walk through frozen autumns,
  .  .  .  Eyes looking away.
Seán Mac Falls Mar 2013
Particles flashing—
In and out of existence,
Child is born, cries, dies.
Seán Mac Falls Aug 2013
Crow perched on gable,
Dark border of cottage house,
Mountains smoke beyond.
Seán Mac Falls Dec 2012
Silent— clear cut woods,
Cry was heard before trees fell,
Sound owls made leaving.
Seán Mac Falls Aug 2013
Sad straights and narrows,
No paths to enlightenments,
Smooth sailing dullards.
Seán Mac Falls Jul 2014
Always under sun  .  .  .
Sorrows of moon forgotten,
  .  .  .  Water lilies bloom.
Seán Mac Falls Nov 2014
Poets dig up thoughts  .  .  .
From much higher than themselves,        
  .  .  .  Yanking subconscious.
Seán Mac Falls Mar 2013
Many years alone,
Suddenly— old thoughts of her,
  .  .  .  Lone raven in sky.

  .  .  .  Lone raven in sky.
Seán Mac Falls Jan 2015
Sparkles to the day  .  .  .
Rain and gray skies shot to hell,
Sun winking through clouds.
Seán Mac Falls Oct 2012
Last night she was here,
Sudden as cruel morning light,
Waking arms empty.

Last night she was here,
Sudden as cruel morning light,
Waking arms empty.

Tall, great blue heron,
Peering down insects, minnows,
Colossus of toads.

Peering down insects, minnows,
Colossus of toads.

Dark wings of lost light,
Feathered face of the fallen,
Moon in your screeches.
Seán Mac Falls Apr 2013
Dark wings of lost light,
Feathered face of the fallen,
Moon in your screeches.
Seán Mac Falls Mar 2013
Gaggle reign of quail—
Sharply dressed, proud, lead by scouts,
Marching down alley.
Seán Mac Falls Oct 2012
Even Higgs boson,
Mythic, mystic, if real not—
As rare as true love.
Seán Mac Falls Jun 2014
Only dry grains left  .  .  .
In the desert of our love,
  .  .  .  Even light dusted.
Seán Mac Falls Oct 2013
It is over now.
I bow my head as you leave,
Rain fills your footprints.
Seán Mac Falls Nov 2013
It is over now.
I bow my head as you leave,
Rain fills your footprints.

I bow my head as you leave,
Rain fills your footprints.

I bow my head as you leave,
Rain fills your footprints.

Sky falls, love ending,
Blue shades, becoming deeper,
Eyes underwater.

Sky falls, love ending
Blue shades, becoming deeper,
Eyes underwater.

Eyes of her my wish,
Reach told me of golden dreams,
Little hand in mine.
Seán Mac Falls Sep 2014
Albums of our love,
Immaculate tales  .  .  .
Bound skins without film.
Seán Mac Falls Dec 2014
Dull birds out on limbs,
A woodland hawk is flying,
Between the branches.
Seán Mac Falls Mar 2014
Writing for no one,
Single flat a hugh dreamland,
  .  .  .  Closet musician.
Seán Mac Falls Mar 2013
To be religious,
Is to be barren of faith,
Fear is for black sheep.
Seán Mac Falls May 2014
So silent together . . .
We pour each other the wine,
  .  .  .  Our sacraments.
Seán Mac Falls Aug 2013
Bloodless moon sinking,
Chalk white, ball of dust crumpled,
Gone— she bled my heart.
Seán Mac Falls Dec 2013
All hopes are dashing,
Sun is painting a black crow,
White sheen doesn't stick.
Seán Mac Falls Oct 2013
After frightful morn—
Bright warm glow of sun fading,
  .  .  .  Day spent with elders.
Seán Mac Falls Oct 2012
Celestial beauty,
She stood naked, rubbed my eyes,
Hair fraying the wind.
Seán Mac Falls Oct 2012
Politicians, pundits,
Playing with words, mincing truth,
Fools with conviction.
Seán Mac Falls May 2014
Younglings got ******* up,
Love, antiquated notions,
  .  .  .  Mobile devices.
Seán Mac Falls Jan 2013
Mute mobile feelings,
Tracing blue lights of handhelds,
New ways to miss love.
Seán Mac Falls Apr 2014
Mute mobile feelings,
Tracing blue lights of handhelds,
New ways to miss love.
Seán Mac Falls Jul 2014
Words failed when we spoke,
Heads wanting to tilt before,
  .  .  .  Her eyes said it all.
Seán Mac Falls Dec 2012
Two crows in one tree,
Green spotted caterpillars,
Cackle in the leaves.
Seán Mac Falls Oct 2012
Want to get soiled?
Just be a religious ****,
Loose all dignity.
