Eoin Smith Poems

She sees him, watches him from afar,
And longs for him.
But he will never know.
He shall remain forever
...

Darkness falls upon the world outside my window.
I sit and watch the light seep from the sky,
Replaced by a murky nothingness;
A nothingness which surrounds and constricts us.
...

You try to tell me Christmas
Should boast a barbeque,
A frolic on the beach and a bright and sunny hue.
You say it’s in the summer
...

Today is the day.
The day that my tormentors
Drag me through a valley of souls.
Tears of rage and fear
...

We sit atop a lonely staircase.
The warmth of your heart
Keeps mine beating, ever stronger.
...

I live a faceless life,
Drifting from place to place
Like a feather on a summer’s breeze.
Endlessly unravelling
...

A small draft of air:
The aftermath of destruction,
Nothing moves, nothing settles.
Everything is calm, peaceful, collected;
...

You grip my hand tight,
Afraid our world might end
In an instant.
...

I find myself in a clearing.

Bookcases tower over me:
Redwoods in a forest of sublime knowledge.
...

There is nothing left to write.
The words on the page lie polished and perfected.
The ink - locked into the paper;
A contented prisoner -
...
