He abandoned me
I couldn't be what he'd want
Was never enough

Psych ward poetry #1

Filomena Rocca Nov 2019

Regret is not a choice
that you can be sure of
making right
here and now
but never again
shall we be free
for all
I cannot know
what
lies above
began
be gone!

K Balachandran

An island unfriends itself

An island lets itself go.
In rising water finds a friend;
The past comes to naught.

Haiku 3: to Requite

when he came to me
I couldn't see what he saw
I hope it's enough

Haven't written in a while I guess

Who, What

'What reality is this?', she giggled.

Before a second had passed,
she had ceased to exist.

From where have all the flowers come?

circle of pain

Hatred runs
through the Universe

like putrid Blood
through a festering Wound

I am late to work.

Cryptic 2: The Peephole

I looked through a peephole
and I saw a pair's son.
They saw me roar.

what does it mean?
