 Blog PostsFriends         | Blograinbow in the darkA RAINBOW IN THE DARKFeed your demons Before they devourer you search for the light to get you through like a rainbow in the dark what more can you do what all you had goes up like a spark they will hunt you to the corners of the globe through prayer and sacrifices is your only hope what use is a poem if it has no words to rhyme like a rainbow in the dark no light to shelter you here ghosts and monsters it is Halloween my dear give me an army I fight to the very death With all my strength And breathe Like a rainbow in the dark Searching for its spark Never walk alone in the park How many more verses Can I create From listening to a song That I’m singing along Can you feel it The cold within your bones There is no heat From the water around your toes What is it about Can anyway really say Like a rainbow in the dark The colours will return one day They are staring at things they can’t understand Like what are they up to If it doesn’t involve you All this technology Can be abused Or destroying our kids’ brains When it is miss used Like a rainbow in the dark We find another path Otherwise, we feel The demon’s wrath Like a rainbow in the dark Time is running out No words or screaming Nothing to shout about We have reached the end The final fight For the rainbow in the dark I have found it’s spark Retreating soldiers From the battlefield With their broken shields Like an iron maiden song Damien Gallagher 12/09/22 Fitst MassFIRST MASSIt has taken three years Here we are Your first mass mum Since the lockdowns has pass Six thirty the time On a Saturday evening Some travelling near others far Then food and drinks in the Country Inn at the bar How the times have changed Since I saw you last Daniel is now 19 Growing up very fast Your grand daughters Are as beautiful as ever Chloe Kayla and Lilly A boo family in New York City We remember the good times Not the sad We drink to your memory With 18 yellow roses attempted by dad As I listened to Dermot and Dave There be no tears When I stand at your grave Death MoneyDEATH MONEYAlways good at school Always got ahead but He made one mistake Now he is dead He got caught robbing a bank He should have waited to midnight For when the lights went out Stop there said the cop Or you will get shoot Put your hands where I can see them Put you hands in the air and stay there He did not listen He pulled out his gun The cop had no choice Now he is gone Shoot in the knee Shoot in the head The boy is now lying dead Only fourteen always good at school Always got ahead but Now he is dead 40,000 was in his bag Try to rob a bank This was how much death money That caused him to die Damien Gallagher 25/03/03 SorrySORRYThis is the hardest part For when I left I broke your heart I am sorry I do regret What I have done I can never forget I was so weak To fall for her charm and To cause This marriage a lot of harm I am so sorry For our kids Their dad is a coward For what I did I will sign the papers For the divorce Don’t look for money I lost it all my honey Damien Gallagher 15/03/06 jailJAILTo get in to jail is easy To get out is not To be sentenced For a long time To be without daylight To be caught committing a crime Depending on what you done Jail could be your new home With bars so small and Light so dim With beds so hard The pain is within Some is innocent some is not Some stay for years Some stay for months Some make it some do not A place I don’t want to go A place I could do without To say goodbye to your loved ones Not knowing when they get out To be locked away Not able to get out In complete darkness Wasting away To see daylight For one hour Is all you get because Of the crime I did To write her letters To phone her To hear her voice Once a month This place is brutal This place is sick Coming tomorrow I be rid of it My six months are up I did my time Now to leave jail Out of my mind Damien Gallagher 24/7/06 Donegal

They do this Just to make a point They take what they find They leave nothing behind You will always See them in your mind They always get caught For their crimes Now they will pay By doing time Damien Gallagher 14/03/06 SPRINGSPRINGI woke up this morning To hear the birds They sing a happy song Winter has finally gone Buds on trees Leaves turns green Lambs and calves Can be seen No more short days As spring is here Cold has left For this brand new year February, march, April Months of spring Time of Easter Which is a wonderful thing The children go out to play The birds build their nest The coco comes To be a pest This is the time Where everything Starts to grow Where we see very little snow Some plays ball Some go for walks Or sit outside To talk Spring time is beautiful Spring time is here Listen to the bird’s song As winter is now gone Damien Gallagher 02/04/06 what happenedWHAT HAPPENEDWhat happened to the rain What happened to the snow What happened to the flowers I used to grow What happened to the moon What happened to the sun What happened to the planet Where I lived on What happened to the towns What happened to the streets What happened to the people I used to meet What happened to the children What happened to the sick What happened to the blind Who has no walking stick What happened to the days What happened to the nights What happened to the lights Of which you could see the sight What happened to the water What happened to the river What happened to the smokers Who has a damaged liver What happened to the dead What happened to the dying What happened to the ones That were caught lying What happened to the trees What happened to the countries What happened to the soil Or food I used to boil What happened to the music What happened to the films What happened to the games Or people with no shame What happened to the rain What happened to the snow What happened to planet earth A world I used to know Damien Gallagher 28/09/06 halloweenHALLOWEENI love this day I love this night I love Halloween and It’s fright Haunted house Spells gone wrong The evil that was cast Can’t be undone Creepy eyes Staring away Looking for victims They can kill today Screaming children Bodies with no head The walking dead Is looking for you instead Blood coming from their lips The evil darkness will never slip One by one they come for us Surviving Halloween is a must We need the spell For all to be well A story for our grandchildren That we will tell The spell is found To send the zombies Under the ground We saw the light We survived the night We survived Halloween and It’s fright I love this day I love this night I love Halloween and My victims in sight Damien Gallagher 31/10/06 |
