S2018 Ep25: APOSTLE - (poem for #AudioMo - Day 16)

From Cork With Love - by Paul O"Mahony @omaniblog ·

2018/06/16

Apostle (homage to Seamus Heaney) How do I poem a verse for a god of letters, stumble out crafted phrases fit for his grandfatherly face? ‘Give up, sit down, keep your head below the parapet. Leave him to treat with Zeus and fire-stone syllables’. The soul in my finger hesitates before putting pen to line, before I light flame from his Easter candle. I remember what it was like before we were introduced, the soil without any hyphens growing there. A moan, a lament, a complaint,

Dreams Moses never led his people to the promised land Magellan never sailed his ships home Puccini never finished his journey to Turandot I’ve never reached my daydreams. I led up to them, talking and walking barefoot on moss, across streams to the other side. I reached for them on tippy-toes never let go. That’s my trouble I’m no Michelangelo I watch those daydreams grow and grow into memories – elephants in my room – wondering what Moses felt as he watched

S2018 Ep23: REUNITED (poem for #audiomo day 14)

From Cork With Love - by Paul O"Mahony @omaniblog ·

2018/06/14

Reunited I left the house of my reincarnation before the swallows returned the year they cancelled the Grand National. I walked out the door before dawn disappeared, drove through a dream as if in a dismal draft of corked Dolcetto. I pitched my leaky tent in Wiltshire ’til forced out by a wife’s thirst for regeneration. Winter hardened the road I travelled as I wished to wallow like a pig in the hot mud Bladud found. I sailed back to the Province of my birth in a ferry

You don’t have to like oysters You don’t have to like oysters, there’s nothing wrong with you if caviar and truffles turn you off. Though some will look down their nose at you if you decline champagne, it’s not a sin to spend your life without a diamond ring or stud. As for grand opera, Wimbledon, Ascot and the Royal Tea Party, you’re not alone in preferring to dunk ginger nut biscuits in Earl Gray and nibble soldiers with soft-boiled eggs for breakfast. I met one honest

From Cork With Love - by Paul O"Mahony @omaniblog ·

2018/06/12

Song of my Butterfly No one heard the song of the butterfly not even my mother, my brothers, nor the dog-walker who strode by our garden and allowed his Bernese Mountain Dog to pee all over my butterfly’s buddleia. No one noticed the sigh of my Painted Lady as she mated with the neighbour’s Painted Man – not even my wife, nor our local parish priest who discouraged kissing on Sundays. No one found the egg the butterfly laid on the hollyhock that grew from the

From Cork With Love - by Paul O"Mahony @omaniblog ·

2018/06/12

I rose from the dead We’d all love to rise from the dead and snatch a second chance from the teeth of history. Which of you would refuse resurrection and leave the stones in place until the winter breaks? My death was cold and stank of feces left by swallows fit to glide away. I never knew how long my death would last until I rose again from the jaws of a mystery made before the stars exploded and the universe was saved.

WHEN I AM OLD (poem for #Audiomo Day 9

From Cork With Love - by Paul O"Mahony @omaniblog ·

2018/06/09

When I am old When I am old the lines will show, the words perhaps no longer flow. The eyes will set and surely droop while underneath the bones will stoop. Across the brow may stretch a crease, a surface etched before deceased. When I am old the days I rue have slipped away and didn’t accrue. The fire records and cannot lie, the marks shine through and never die. When I am old there’ll be no song, times replaying the memory long. When I am old I’ll stop all this verse cause I shall know it’s

You could feed a multitude on the soft greenery with the loaves and fishes behind that view. We climbed the stairs assembled with the same architectural craft as those stones igloos.

2018/06/06

You just came to me Pig-sty to cattle track, anemones to fountain-pen, you sat in yellowed armchair, among psychiatric alumni, released into a fighting streetscape, where burnt-out cars took place of bicycles. Your warrior-self listened to every voice with the greeting of a saint who wrote with a sun-lit plume. Prince of the messengers, carrier of connections, pointing companions around wild flowers, through the thicket of everyday life, out into a clearing, ever
