Alone

At dusk a half moon
In solitude she is whole
Sweet the path ahead

a writer's mind

a writer's mind

writing and scribbling and scrawling down my all thoughts,
each and every
dark and sinister alley twisting in the curves and
crevices
of my mind.
dusty, hidden corners filled with filth -
hidden by the shadows of my
weighted self.

sometimes my mind feels like it's rotting

i am the only one here

Michael Sean Maloney

i am the only one here

i am the only one here
and i stand in your place

occupy your shadow
the sun on my face

is your sun
the breath i breathe

is your breath
overhead kites of birds spin

tethered to earth by invisible strings
tonight the sky will blaze with stars

they will be your stars
the moon almost complete

will be your moon
i will be the only one there

standing in your place

Punishment

Punishment

Turmoil chokes me,
Hideous flames burn me within
As I stand coward-like and helpless
Gazing at the walls caving in

Bright colours in my periphery, I see
Hurrying past me whispering curses
For I have murdered and ripped them apart
Yet again, for the millionth time

Human Coil Unravelling

Jun 20 Kalliope

Daniel Tucker

Human Coil Unravelling

When it seems as though
The human coil is unravelling
And we have peaked
Our REM of creativity
And we seem awash
In half-baked positive negativity
And the whole world seems
To be drowning in self-induced sleep
While even the watchers
Seem to have both eyes closed...

Turn this thing around
And open bloodshot eyes.
Stop your own unravelling
And delve deeper into creativity.
Strengthen the bonds of your own
Exclusive and non-exclusive spheres.
Allow your peaceful world to dawn
Even though the outside world drowns
In its own exclusive and non-exclusive pool of fears.

Strange (haiku)

Strange a thing to feel
Alone in crowded places
Forlorn amongst friends

I WANT TO BREAK FREE

I WANT TO BREAK FREE

I want to break
all the shackles
that bind my heart
to you.
I want to break free.

Take away all the hurt.
Take away all the pain.
I want to breathe.
I want to break free.
