Bonfire In A World So Cold
I’ve learnt that it comes and goes in waves.
But what's important is to survive the tide,
Stay on deck and keep on sailing until the end.
It starts and ends with us, or either of us,
But it’s the innumerable memories
And unfulfilled dreams that feel betrayed.
Life goes on, and people move on quick.
But honestly, it’s the warm-hearted who stays,
Like a bonfire ...

The Psychotic Lover
Oh if only you loved me the way I loved you
If only you had read those paragraphs I sent you when you didn't text me back
If only you knew whos blood was on my hands to ensure you stayed safe
I did it for you
All for you
What does it matter if a few people had to die in order for me to keep you?
Id burn this world and everyone in it to make sure you were mine
I need you
I...

Thanks are due to Siobhán of Bitesize Irish for the excellent videos on the pronunciation of Irish poetry etc. https://youtu.be/6RrjBERQzt4
My poem below is in Irish, in Celtic script. Below that, is the poem in Roman script and in English.
Apologies to native Irish speakers!

me from afar
if i could love you in a good way
i would do so; the best i could
but the sun doesn’t even set at the same time for us
so i’ll continue to rot in this room
until my last summer here turns to fall
i would love you so dearly
but i love you from afar
and yet you still find a way to overwhelm my mind
-
i apologize for the way i treat you
i warn you for the things i...

Mi Amor
las explicaciones me fallan, Mi Amor
las palabras salen de mi pecho y son
aparentemente incomprensibles, Mi Amor
la felicidad que das, es como el viento
soplando en mi rostro, Mi Amor
es como la profunda bocanada de aire
que tomas en una fresca manana de invierno, Mi Amor
es como la sensacion de darle una manzana a un
venado en tu huerta, esperando que s...

From New York, With Love.
When I'd first met you,
Can't explain how frenzy I'd behaved.
From the daylight butterflies,
To the dark night fireflies,
I could feel everything around me.
It was a feeling out of this world,
Like how the comets collide,
Like how the stars collide.
And people have wishes to make
Of the loved ones they desire.
I made a wish too.
To grow old with you,
To get to the countr...

Dear Vincent
Last night I found myself
Walking in an alley in a French town.
Strangely, I was dressed vintage -
High winged collar shirt and a tailcoat,
Alongside few passing Victorian men.
The calendar in one of the French windows
Of a restaurant marked the year 1887.
Down the yellow house,
At the corner of Place Lamartine, Arles,
I heard loud furious row.
It sound...
