Damien Poirier Poems

Often when we're taken far aback
By those we love, lose
And those we'd give right back
When those times befall us
...

Everysuch
Even those and may-have-mights
Tears that fall
On lonely nights
...

Romantic love is slowly eclipsed by universal love. In the umbra a desire for the unity of all things grows and just as each romantic petal wilts away from our dying ego in its place blooms an infinite cosmos with untold galaxies. Every planet another glorious heart, bound by stardust to its neighbour. This is universal love.
...

Lost in the rapture of two other men
One who cried bullets and one who spoke myths
Each of their vessels
smooth as clay or copper
...
