Ireland's OWN Poetry & Prose

Beyond...
—by Míchealín Daugherty

I saw you in the hall today
Looking at the brilliant pictures on the walls,
But suddenly, all the paintings
Faded into mediocrepalenothings
Compared to the way your face lit up
When you saw me — a smile so big, and
Your sapphireeyes burning into
My aching heart, How
Long has it been? Three years or more...?
And still we have that...that...that...
Oh, I don't know what to call it
Its beyond words
Our love was beyond words,
So far beyond,
That I would die to have us back;
But you would die if we dared.
Why must a War
Beyond Boundaries
Be bigger than our Love
Beyond Words?
