Shane Cogan Poem
Is this life just a hidden message?
As I pound these streets, I wonder
As I crawl these walls, I ponder
You left on a cryptic message
Never to return, yet your still out there
Oh so many times, far too many crimes
Gone for good, just like the winter air
You might be missed, as people continue to stare
It’s all in your head now
Just let it go, just let it go
Watching three women pass by, life on the their backs
Where will they go?
All still young, frail and faces full of cracks
On they move, turn and all so low
Watching the people, crowds begin to sway
Analysing their thoughts, following a long day
What’s in store when they get home?
Lost in thought, onwards I roam
It’s all in your head now
Just let it go, just let it go
It was a long time ago
Now go with the flow

Shane Cogan Poem
Earths red crust shudders
Skyline crackles purple forks
Famine feet flurry
My willow tree scorched
Lunar eclipse eternal
Barefoot beach walk dream
Volcanic ash views
A black season treelines crunch
Whimpered solo bark
Stagnant water tea
Pungent roots and herbs galore
Humanless abyss

Shane Cogan Poem
Superficial Smiles by Shane Cogan
A trapped house can be worse than a prison
Cell doors open daily, a sealed house door never
Guards who snarl or smile is a guard forever
They also torture, but you found your own prism
Selected friends are such a treasure
Deselect those friends at your leisure
Superficial smiles, superficial cries
Superficial tastes, superficial wastes
Handshakes in the morning
Sour milkshakes for lunch
Diluted conversations for dinner
Repetitive dreams again for bedtime
Small talk discussions over a croissant
Alcohol dimensions under a florescent
Frantic racing is your new norm
A lost cause, caught up in a storm
Superficial smiles, superficial cries
Superficial lies, superficial allies
Silly allergies are your only sickness
You deem painkillers to be your only cure
Subscription pills for the old highs
Illegals for the new lows
What is right in one place
Deemed a disease or a disgrace
Solitude is your new pleasure
Despair is a lonely measure
Superficial smiles, superficial cries
Superficial spies with superficial eyes
Today's headline is tomorrow's forgotten story
Profits over people, with business in all its glory
Che Guevara t-shirts or Guerrilla warfare neritic?
Revolutionary heroes or a Sunday armchair critic?
Mass television pictures replacing dialogue
Mindless headline people news is our new fog
What would you do now for a taste of reality?
Do you miss and crave my sensuality?
A frank remark is better than a false smile
Our historical heroes are now sadly footnoted
No longer accepted, no longer quoted
Smiles mean nothing; a false handshake is our new style
Superficial smiles, superficial cries
Superficial skies with superficial eyes

Shane Cogan Poem
Raven’s Shadow
Staring beady eyed
Collecting for winters nest
Natures unique post
Silky shiny black
Dawn-to-dusk itinerant
Multitasked creature
Suave wings casted wide
Full shadow imprint on moon
Solo transporter
Beak fluid sounds
Winter snow cloaked by congress
Envy your freedom

Shane Cogan Poem
Exit gold crisp noise
Whole winter white blanket sky
Carrot pipe smoker
Stressed humans all cloaked
A full moon mirror shimmers
Oddly naked it stands
Cold dawn miasma
Snowball friendly warfare
Magnetic eye gaze
