where art thou lord
in the darkness
of pain surround –
her spirit now free
flows from my vein,
released depth of heart,
i am drained.
love’s essence my tears contain.
send your angels,
gather these diamonds of sacred rain –
they are pure
they are all that remains
of her.

in the lunchroom

By michael mcguirt

i saw you
in the distance,
years ago,
you were dark,
seemingly –
colour and poise,
and i was afraid
in my youth
maybe it was me
that was dark –
clumsy awkward fear…
maybe it was just
the wavering fluorescent force field
between us –
and you
standing upon the moon
so alone
so far from everything known,
unapproachable,
yet close
in darkness
and essence
