Portrait of Cynthia

Published November 12, 2014 by rlmcdermottDid you
know that
I am dying
that I am
like a blue
crane flying
riding thermals
without wings
life is such
a fickle thing
it’s so hard
to let you go
yet so easy
to live alone
how could
I have loved
a moon that
never shines for me
am I grieving you
or grieving me
so long this dying
has to be–
a day a night
spent in the sky
who loves me
loves to fly

Published May 15, 2014 by rlmcdermottWho’ll sing
my song
when I
am gone?
Who’ll paint
the sky?
I live
for love
who can’t
be loved–it
is my fate.
I am root
and I am
flower–soon
will be my
bitter hour.
A knife,
a rope,
the wind,
the sea,
these are
the things
that call
to me.
You stand up
and I fall down;
I dance for you
who cannot see.
Is love
what I am
all about–
I sell my soul
and I sell out?
A pair of eyes,
a wisp of hair
and I am lost
and I am there.
Wars are wars,
countries fall,
children die and
I am born.
Again and always,
I return to find you gone;
there must be something
more than this–someway
to end this bitter kiss.

Published February 27, 2014 by rlmcdermottI’ve written
so many
poems
for you
and painted
pictures too
blue and
red and
gold on
paper made
of skin
I am
ashamed
of how
I’ve loved
a lantern
floating
in the sky
could not
have burned
as bright
I will
not stop
until
I reach
the sun
and all
my art
consumed
in flame
gives fiery
birth to your
sweet name
