(For Emily, my Muse)
My toes are frozen solid,
My feet I cannot feel,
My legs are cold as lollipops,
But that’s not how I feel.
My heart’s as warm as cuddles,
With puppy by the fire,
My love for you’s forever,
And never will expire!

Sam McKeon is a recluse, living on the remote rugged west coast of Ireland. Currently, Sam’s poetry tends to focus on his inner universe and the moments he spends with the very few people he is in contact with, especially his muse Emily, who has inspired almost fifty poems, tracing the development of their relationship.
The astonishing drama and beauty of the wild Irish landscape is also absorbed into his writing. This can lead to some weird things, but mostly it leads to deeply passionate works stitched together with tender reflection.
