"The Singer in the Casino"
It was like a drug at first.
Like the drink that quenched my thirst
And chased all my fears away
When the sun turns night to day.
-
Haunting as the Celtic wind
Just list'ning should be a sin.
Heartbeat pounds so harsh and sharp
Barely heard o'er the voice-harp.
-
No form, no mass, no false face,
Just voice and air played with grace
And love and sweet tenderness
Melts the mind to senselessness.
-
'Cross the dreary room I stare
Blinded by her tone so fair.
"Why I Was Green Fer a Day"
Once when we were small,
Murph an' me went rollin' down
Grassy hills o' home.
"Moon"
Moon so softly bright
Full and big to light my way
And guide my wayward,
Winding path through yin and yang
As my feet take me past time.
"Insert Title Here"
I want to write you as you are now.
Yet my mind is locked, the key has fled
For I only see your image now.
-
When you will be different years from now,
I will ponder, alone in my bed:
How I will write you as you are now.
-
The clang of prison doors will tell now
Of wooing, wond'ring, waiting instead
That I'll only see your image now.
-
The sunlight will run and hide for now.
Before my life turns to strife and lead
I want to write you as you are now.
-
What I will do to you is not now.
Regret and hate will soon fill my head
For I'll only see your image now.
-
I'll never again see your lonesome grave,
That cold, dark hole I will put you in.
I want to write you as you are now,
But I only see your image now.

"Twins"
Connor came five minutes first from his ma.
He was strong and healthy and well-behaved.
-
Murphy for some reason wasn't ready.
He was late and distressed and delicate.
-
Three weeks after their premature birthday
Connor was lively and ready to leave
Murphy was sickly and kept on machines.
-
In the last beats of the younger babe's heart
Ma put Connor in with his twin brother.
-
He hugged his Murphy close for a moment
Until the life that was leaving returned.
-
The power of their bond was strong enough
To pledge to each other without lexis
"We'll always be together, my brother."
Nicholas: I wrote these for English class as an assignment. Only two of them are Boondock Saint oriented, but what can I do? Anyway, "Twins" is a stolen concept. I didn't ask permission from the author, so I hope they don't sure me. It's based on a fanfiction that I read and loved. If you recognize it, then you'll know who I stole it from. Sorry that I'm a klepto!
