Kate Mccarthy Poem
Why couldn't you see
That I was meant to be yours
Until you were gone.

Sparkling dewdrop on green grass
Slowly sliding - able to go
Dull life - not all free
Like our love - all gone

Kate Mccarthy Poem
¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ with unconfined wings
¦¦¦¦¦¦ within ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ my divine Althea ¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦ I lie ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ in ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ her eye,
The birds ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦
Know ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ liberty.
¦¦¦¦ flowing cups ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ allaying Thames,
¦¦¦ careless heads ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ bound,
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ with ¦¦¦¦¦ flames;
¦¦¦¦ thirsty ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ we ¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ go ¦¦¦¦¦
Fishes that ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦
Know ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ liberty.
¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ committed linnets, ¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ shall sing
¦¦¦ sweetness, mercy, majesty,
And glories ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦ I shall voice aloud ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦
He ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦
Enlarged ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
Know ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ liberty.
¦¦¦¦¦ walls do ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ make,
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ a cage;
Minds ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ quiet ¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ I have freedom in ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ my soul ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
Angels ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦
Enjoy such liberty.
(Blackout of To Althea From Prison by Richard Lovelace)

Kate Mccarthy Poem
Bold is a word untamed.
While meek is silent and ashamed
Both quite diverse,
and yet create a universe
That lives in there, acclaimed.

Kindred spirits to cross
A soft smile that spreads
Testing my patience
Exceeding my expectations

Kate Mccarthy Poem
Don't you remember
When we were younger
The lullaby the moon sung
Why can't you remember?
Oh, I'm speaking nonsense?
Well, let me remind you,
I'm older and know a lot more about the world.
If only I could've protected you.
Alright, head to bed.

Kate Mccarthy Poem
Bringing Wishes
Interacting with Loved Ones
Receiving Gifts
Thanking Those
Hearken to The Music
Dance 'til You Die
Arriving to the Party
Yelling aloud: "IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!"

again
alleviated as always
I am rearing her
my talon from a griffin

Kate Mccarthy Poem
Visiting the Holocaust Museum
Seeing all the memories of the survivors
The bodies carelessly thrown in the pits
The experiments
The gas chambers
How could we let this happen?!
Oh right.
Everyone needs someone to blame.
"This museum is not an answer, it is a question"

Friends come and pass on
In this life and the next ones
You are dearly missed
