Under These Rebel Skies Quotes

“As the seasons age us

I close my eyes and wish for snow
Alas the Irish seasons been foretold
For Spring will dawn and I will go
Into another season Jack Frost cold.

And when its here, I wish for night
As childhood memories flash right by
To see the birds in humble flight
I wish for Summer with a sigh

And on I go to months so sweet
Dawns sweet chorus and sunbeams bright
I yearn for Autumn leaves under feet
Yet now I dream of Winters night

As Auld Lang Syne rings in New Year
Alas! I’m one year older as Spring draws near.”

“Whispers of a forgotten shore

When I die, throw my ashes to the wind…
Let it carry me along as my heart will lead my soul,
to the places that took my breath away.
Let it blow me about to return to those places..
That I swore were so magical I would return,
But have not,
Let those forgotten shores, forgotten places,
Be reunited with my eyes,
The splendour and the overwhelming feeling of sheer happiness,
Etch into my soul as I pass through one heaven into the next
Where I shall live for eternity
Knowing I made a promise and kept it,
I forgot nothing,
I left nothing behind,
My loved ones will greet me or follow me,
My broken promises were fixed,
And the screams in my ears of a conscience I couldn’t escape,
Faded to whispers,
Till one day I shall return to Earth in a new vessel,
Reborn to live and suffer and wish this wish of mine all over again,
Knowing the fulfillment of being forever free….”

“Dance me slowly along a moonlit path,
Soaked with light from moon and stars above,
Hold my hand and whistle a tune,
Dance me slowly to the edge of Love.

Waltz here with me on forest grass,
Soft ballet pirouettes round sun dappled trees,
Hold my hand and hum a tune,
Catch my freshly blown kiss off the breeze.”

“Put your arms around my waist,
Hold me close for a kiss and savour the taste,
I love you now I love you true,
Can I drown please in your eyes so blue?

Let’s hang our hearts on a crescent moon,
And skinny-dip in starlit lakes to loves sweet tune,
Let’s dance on boithrins grassy line,
And waltz 'Neath the canopied leaves of nature fine.

Lets sit afore fires on a winters night
Let me read you poetry aloud by candlelight,
Let’s lay under the skylight and tell constellations apart,
And I’ll remind you of the place you have in my heart.”
― Michelle Geaney, Under These Rebel Skies

“Grab me, kiss me, waltz me, and love me,
I adore thee cherish thee absolutely love thee,
Come let’s take to the floor 'Neath a chandelier of stars from above,
And dance me slowly to the edge of love.”

“Avoiding Shipwreck

Let me emblazon your name upon
The blue sky, because I love you.
I wish to please you,
In any way, as many ways as I can….
I will etch your name into the sand,
Because I adore you.
I shall conduct the early birds dawn chorus,
Because you make MY heart sing just so.
I want you and I to sit
And watch the sun come up,
Creating that warm glow that you emit,
Because you love me.”
