Paul McAnaney Poems

As i look upon you my niece i see the hopes
and dreams of your future,
Guided by your mothers dreams,
Her hopes and her love,
...

I now gaze fixedly and intently upon our predetermined destiny and realize that our love is nothing but a perversion of reality, A distortion of equality, nothing but a cataclysmic consequence of infatuation.

I foresee the dark ahead even as we lay enervated by our unsheathed passion and as the incandescent glow of our love begins to attenuate i realize this is our destiny our never ending legacy.
...

I hope,
I hope to one day see my friend again,
I hope you are still as beautifully bewitching as i recall,
I hope happiness has enveloped you in its tender loving embrace,
...

The birds in the sky
now seem dead in your eyes,
What have i done?
To have destroyed our love,
...

As the stars in the sky shoot on by,
My only wish is to look upon your
Sweet loving eyes.
As the ever beautiful butterflies
...

Over the waterfall i go
plunging into your icy
water as it splashes
and crashes with a
...

We men are wretched creatures,
Destroyed by hate and deceit,
Devoid of all that is good and great,
Consigned to spread our seeds of war,
...

I feel tired now as i lay here
waiting for deaths gentle embrace
for i cannot bear to face a life
so empty, it is such a waste,
...

Free at last free from the expectations of society,
The expectations which constrained me so dramatically.
Free from consequence with no remorse and little or no
Cause for recourse.Today marks my rebirth from the ashes
...

Your eyes,
Your nose,
The way your lips gently
open and close.
...
