About me - Mac McGovern

I've been writing poetry since January 2004. I don't consider myself to possess any true artistic genius. I do however, create based upon my inner most feelings pertaining to the subject or the time. My expressions are my own and are often simple ramblings.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Escape: 4 of 151

Escape He stares at the wall for hours gone by. Shoulders stooped, drawn inward, ever so slightly indicate his level of relaxation; eyes dimmed by years of constant strain, try to focus on a small crack in plaster; troweled in his youth. His right hand scratches senselessly the stubble of some days growth; while his left han...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Prayer: 6 of 218

Arms Of Eternal Life Heavenly Father, as I close my eyes and enter into the realm of ethereal unconsciousness, where your bountiful guidance is impressed upon my soul, inspire me to receive your message and awaken bathed in your protective light. Guide me through each day keeping me in the comfort of your grace, cause me not...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Eyes: 5 of 170

Her Cosmic Eye Tears falling like rain reflect the sorrow, and her pain, as she reminisces about planet Earth, who once was lush and green, life safe, serene, nature balanced, a harmonious, ecological marvel. Onto the land then came man, in the blink of her cosmic eye, millions of years of evolutionary plan, altered, set asi...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Breathing: 7 of 147

The Sound Of Your Breathing I listen and admire as the sound of your breathing alerts to the beauty that that is your life. You take in only what stimulates and increases your intensity. You work to inspire and push yourself in transitioning between barriers that define benefits to be gained, weighed against potential loss. ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Loss of a beloved women: 2 of 38

I See Her There I see her there through the passage of time, in thought and dream. I see her there forcing gloom to remit, instilling love day and night. I see her there as each day does pass, my companion, my wife. I see her there, her smile bright, opening her arms to hold me tight. I see her there, I cried as her death ne...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: I believe...: 3 of 55

I Believe I have broken the bonds of natural birth, I am free to roam around the earth My journey takes me into the sea, so deep, so cold, a comfort to me, more mysterious than I remember she, I truly believe, I am free Next into the sky, so high above, so radiant, so blue, I fly as a dove, I truly believe, I am in love The ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Experiencing terrorism: 2 of 32

Our Tower Once I stood upon your lofty perch, the view below caused me to search, the city spread long and wide, I gave no thought until you died. I watched in shock at your attack, never dreaming it would break your back. You stood so tall, proud and straight, all who were with you at heavens gate. My heart is heavy, a long...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Imprisoned: 3 of 45

The Light It irritates me Holds me as a prisoner Hungering to be free It remains constant for an occasional flicker An orb with no conscience Making life bitter Every day the same An hour of relief Free from its glare Still all I can do is walk and stare I'll be here for life Never really accepting my plight My only consolat...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Independence: 2 of 26

Declaration Of Independence Alone in the night, gazing at the beauty, of a celestial masterpiece, yet untouched, by the cover of cloud, an unrelenting silence, is interrupted, by the insistent ticking, of an old grandfather clock in the parlor, a candle with a dual wick, rests on a table, made of knotty pine, roughly chisele...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: An hour: 1 of 13

For One Hour If I had only one hour with you, I would ask that hour be in God's own time, one hour, a lifetime, every second an expression of love, every moment a new adventure. Sixty minutes to slowly pass with you at my side, a never-ending dream, to bond, marry, father, mentor, always giving thanks, one hour with you, I b...
