Not Ready
I can feel it
I can’t stop it
even if I try
some day coming
some day soon
I will have to say it
I will tell you goodbye.
I’m not ready
I won’t be ready
the goodbye is near
it is coming
some day soon
no such thing as ready
is my biggest fear.
I’m not ready to be strong
(I’ll have to be strong)
I’m not ready to move on
(I will move on)
my heart won’t listen to my mind
whispering you’re gone
(my heart will feel you’re gone).
Now is the moment
enjoy this moment
don’t think of tomorrow
of what is coming
some day soon
live in the moment
is good advice I know.
Time keeps its pace
never changes its pace
be grateful for today
before what is coming
some day soon
when a today’s pace
will make us say come what may.
I’m not ready to be strong
(I’ll have to be strong)
I’m not ready to move on
(I will move on)
my heart won’t listen to my mind
whispering you’re gone
(my heart will feel you’re gone)
I don’t want to be that strong.

The Ireland Summation
Keeping my best side out
I will admit,
people in Ireland are friendly
no matter which
part of the island you may be.

While in Waterville,
I walked toward the beach.
I swear all of this did happen
just past the statue of Chaplin.
I went until close to the sea
right up to the water’s reach.

Teetotaler on Tour
I went to Ireland
to see what I could see.
They said, “You know what is fun?
Stop by Jameson.
You’ll get some whiskey
while on your tour.”
Okay but I am a teetotaler.

Miss-n-a-kiss and a-kiss-n-a-miss
If you want the gift of gab
go where the magic is at
the legend is well known
you must kiss the Blarney Stone
Miss-n-a-kiss and a-kiss-n-a-miss
Kiss the Blarney Stone!

Not sure if this one counts. I was attempting an Ae Freislighe style of poetry but it was hard. When I finally finished, I went to bed and as I drifted off to sleep, I realized I didn’t get the dunadh! Which means, it was not in fact done. Not sure if my dunadh works but this is my first attempt.
On record as mythical
I walked around Dublin
searchin for the mystical
hopin gold would be comin.

Continuing with my Ireland poetry, I thought instead of merely being inspired by the locale, I should attempt to express myself using an Irish form of poetry. While this is my first attempt at Dechnad Cummaisc, hopefully it isn’t too terrible. While challenging, it was fun to try!
I traveled to a distant shore
for adventure
a lyrical place of beauty
to be, for sure.
