My Irish Rose No thorn could prick, my dying eyes to rest
Below heavens window, God's borrowed guest,
Or fulfil my heart where love had sadly failed.
Like crusading knights who sought the grail.
Sweet velvet petals that bridges hearts,
Where beauty...

A Famine A Nation Starved
If I could have chose to love another,
And the heavens had fallen from the sky,
And the fields which offer little or no hope,
Would I have chosen another love, or die?
If the ravages within...

Colour me perfect in green white and gold,
A tricolour heart from the young to the old,
A land of giants from the causeway to swift,
A tongue silver sharp each Irishman's gift,
Born with a rainbow in...

Chasing a LeprechaunThrough thickened woods and thorny brush
I chased the elf in silenced hush
Around intoxicating pines
And mossy-covered hanging vines
Taking care to mark the way
With petals dropped from rose bouquet

And forest creatures’...

Concealed Dechnad CummaiscA bouquet of shamrocks glisten,
they call magick;
Under a rainbow they sprout high;
This sky? Classic;
Golden sunshine adds to the glow,
What a vision;

rushing a field;

Like lambs to the slaughter,
Centuries...

The Hour GlassThe Hour Glass
Breathless moments are consumed and frustrated
By the denial and logic of the Hour-glass ,

I Saw Love In The MeadowIn The meadow
Wait ‘til the sun has cooled
And taken it’s familiar place
In the summer sky, in linen white,
Cut below the knee, you float
Across the rush-filled meadow,
Sandals in either hand,
Swinging, kicking out, the broadest smile,
Beauty...

The Life of 'AE'On a mild Spring’s night
In the heartlands of Ulster
A prodigious child was born
For Ireland, to save her
A man of modest means
Yet formidable wit
