Liam Flaherty Poems

Salty, sweet, spicy, sour
Throughout my life I will devour.
I share, take,
laugh, cry.
...

While walking on a morning day,
With sunshine streaming through the air,
I listened to the sound of wind,
And heard what it had to say.
...

Even,
With a thousand tongues of molten silver,
and a thousand choirs of heavenly beings,
I could never approach
...

As I awoke to a hollow chest,
Where echoes crowded and congregated
Into a cacophonous roar
That shook the heavens,
...

I leave on my nightstand
A little pad.
A notepad to keep my dreams
Alive, well, and fed with ideas I have at night.
...

The distance between hearts is not measured by the space between us.
It is measured by the heartbeats that go to waste when you are gone.
Pictures are but false reflections, and memories are easily forgotten, and
Ephemeral permanence is left in the air
...

If it had just been your love,
Dayenu.
If it had just been your smile,
Dayenu.
