I never went to Dublin,
or strolled along the shore.
I never walked on Grafton Street,
or wore the pearls you swore.
I never came to visit you,
and relive bygone days;
to welcome ghosts that haunted me,
or weep upon your grave.

Beautiful, but so sad. Very well written – I really like it 🙂
Aw thank you very much – yes, it is sad 🙂 x
haunting
Thank you – I hadn’t thought of it like that – I guess it is 🙂
We will go to Dublin together, what say?? 😉
A lovely poem !
-Naima.
Oh yes! As long as you can cope with me wafting up and down the sea shore and weeping over graves hehe 😉
Ahh sure dear one! I am still positive to make a trip with you 😉
-Naima.
Excellent piece!! Luv it!
Thanks Resa 🙂
Oi, I haven’t either.
Let’s go on a Bloggy People Dublin Tour!
PS. If poems had faces, i’m sure one would have puppy eyes with a curled lip. Sad and endearing.
Aw thank you so much 🙂 Sad puppy eyes and curled lip sum it up wonderfully!
Yep – we should hire a coach and have a trip – Poor Dublin wouldn’t know what had hit it!! 😀
So pretty.
Thank you – I will go to Dublin – one day…
🙂
Have you been yet? I’ll be there in less than a month and I’ll throw a couple of euros into the hat of one of the buskers on Grafton Street for you. Any preference music-wise?
Aw thanks – no, I’ve not got there yet! Maybe one day soon. I like music that moves the soul 🙂
Alex 🙂
Sometimes there’s a harpist there – that usually does it for me.
Ooh lovely – that would work for me too! 🙂
Just the right Irish angst . . . .
Thank you very much 🙂 Angst is good 🙂
I love the Irish!
My Father was Irish 🙂
You’ve got the genes. . . .girl !
and the jumper to match 😀
