They call it Ecstasy
Sarah Mulqueen May 2014
Surrender yourself
Lay down your gun
Under these circumstance you've already won
I could try & tip-toe away
But these feelings
Linger
&
Follow me
Begging me to stay
Found myself at another masquerade
Unsure of where to turn to
So I fall
But falling isn't the problem
It's whether you'll be there to catch me at all

The paths been set
Sarah Mulqueen May 2014
No longer do wander aimlessly,
I've found my "path" so to speak.
It may not be yellow
Nor paved for the eye to see
Yet it somehow shines brighter
Radiating through me.

I wonder when the foggy haze will return to taint my view
Such a serene sense of serendipity one can never get use to
No more boarders on my horizon therefore I know this calling to be true

All that's left is to take that leap
Step out into the great unknown

To be a little humming bird
Sarah Mulqueen Apr 2014
Once was a little humming bird
So innocent & true
He loved a good adventure
But longed for something new

Singing his sweetest tune
He flew
Unsure of where & how he knew
That the distant land would hold something much less than fulfilling

For that little humming bird
Had been searching foreign lands
Wanting excitement & ambience but was missing so much more

So now that little humming birds sings to a different tune
He's now searching inside himself to be happier & strong
For within finding his inner peace he saw further than ever imagined

A Simple Hello?
Sarah Mulqueen Apr 2014
When you smile a smile that's warming&tru;;
The one receiving it may no longer feel confused or blue.
Such a simple gesture
To be acknowledged
A Feeling you can't easily express
When in a single moment they understood you.
The weight of the world
lifted
By a complete stranger,
It's almost unheard of now.

Do you even know your neighbors?
Or the names of those servers at your childhood dairy?

LOST
SCARED
ALONE

But would you ask a stranger for help?
I was taught to "Never speak to strangers"
But I soon learnt that had a flaw,
How are we to meet different walks of life
If we ignore every passerby?
Sarah Mulqueen Apr 2014
Crumbling away into the ocean
The tides weathered you over time.
A rustic beauty that suits better with age.
I long to know your story&where;, it all began
So at peace and content,
many pass you by without a second glance.

I believe not a single being can tear you down to size.
For  your always caught by your own demise,
With so much to offer
&evenmore; to gain;
Do you ever wonder how they go insane?

I hope you keep at your story
Maybe locked in a wooden case,
For the stories given up on were never worth the chase.

Swinging Through "Space"
Sarah Mulqueen Mar 2014
Suspended on this apparatus
Dangling, Swaying
No true sense of time
Everything being portrayed to be fine.
Fine?
No, That word's not mine?
Simply borrowed from a friend of mine.

The perfect peace ascends down
From the beautiful stratosphere.

Continually unsure of how it all works
My small contribution barely making a scratch on the surface

So why are we always wanting more?
More "space" for my "Things"
More "time" in my day
More "money" for my 'things"
More acknowledgement for my "time"
Surely we can be happier with less?
For I feel at ease barely scratching the surface...

For A Friend
Sarah Mulqueen Mar 2014
If I could write in but one book,
Fill all the spaces,
Nook to crook.
A soft leather cover would be my chosen look.
This, my signature
Or will an Alter Ego sit better on the cover?
For if I wrote in but one book
I wouldn't become "run of the mill"
Captivation and surprise, while keeping you suspended close to the edge.
For there's a fine line between a good book & bad
I hope I keep a steady hand
For if I could write in but one book,
My life's compilation,
My signature book.

Inbrace your inner child
Sarah Mulqueen Mar 2014
Whats happened to all
"The little things in life"?
Am I the only one who takes in a breath of appreciation for my surroundings?
Am I alone amongst the foliage and canapay of nature? Loving its raw beauty, with all it has to offer.
I just long to get amongst it
From frolicing through a field, falling, laughing in fits of pure joy.
Splashing, paddling, shrieking with excitement amongst the cooling waves.
To sitting in silence, watching the tranqual change from day to night. Colours with such vibrance and flavor I can't help but get lost in time.

No ones watching
Sarah Mulqueen Feb 2014
Dada beepbodo beepbodo
These songs rambling in my head
Dada beepbodo
Making sense of what was said

Whackawhackawhacka
With a little tingtang fizzle
Maken ma ***** wanna wiggle

STOP
Before your caught slackin
You might get a smackin
With a paper reading
This is your written warning!

Confucius
Sarah Mulqueen Feb 2014
Misty vision
fogging up my mind
Bluring the lines
Already so hard to see.

A momentary laps in time
The delusions  not so few
Nor far behind

One thing remains true
A solid grounding
A form of security  
A reason to be happy
The love from another

Tricky Pixie's
Sarah Mulqueen Dec 2013
The sweetest touch
Too often tainted by a poisonous slur
They can bring a whirl wind of confusion
Landing you in a safe haven or
Broken and battered like never before

So afraid of the unknown
Our little heart shaped box
Seems to be keeping score
Never quite sure

For the bee's that sting
There's a thorn that *****'s
Shadow's dark and dreary
Few creatures soft and cute

So where's this key to fit the lock
Maybe forever hidden
In a pixies frock.

Sheltered eyes
Sarah Mulqueen Dec 2013
Twisting,
Constricting in this tangled web.

Wheres my inner peace?

My calling to be free?
Free from this chaos inside of me!

I don't want to play your 'tic tac toe'
Or hear the 'click click clacking' reminding me you've won

My mind is all that separates the 'slaves of the nation' from myself,
No true calling
No inner desire
Now build down your walls!
No need for a name, your 'security' is just the same.

Keep attaching yourself to objects,
As easy as
Snitch ******!
Now they're gone too

Goat
Sarah Mulqueen Oct 2013
Tired of the torment and distruction,
Countless sleepless nights, filled with worry and dred. Home is your shelter where one goes to find refuge,
Shouldn't it be?
Tip toe from room to room,
Finding solitude amongst isolation.
Try to build a safe haven.
******* for tearing it down, trying to break down these walls that took me my life to build.
You,
You're nothing, worthless, I almost pitty you but that would mean you're worthy of my thoughts.
Hate you? I don't.
Despise you? I don't.
You hold nothing over me, apart from the one I fear for.
How dear you break her and tear her down,
You will never amount to be even half of who she is.
Justice will be served on a silver platter,
You won't see it coming,
I hope then you'll live in fear.
And I'll be able to sleep through the night.

My special place
Sarah Mulqueen Oct 2013
I see the horizon, such a straight defined line.
A cliff face at either end hundreds of miles apart,
As if forming a gateway to enter this magical land.
So much about this world is so obscure to me,
Questioning everything as a little tot,
The questions some were thinking but would never dear to mention.
Among all the obscurity,
I'v always found a sense of peace
A calming, whenever I'm at the coast.
I wonder if its the rolling tide
Or the hiss of the waves,
At times smashing into the shore on the roughest day's.
Watching the birds dance their beautiful,
Graceful dance,
Dipping & diving,
Gliding with the waves.
Skimming just above the surface.
I a get a sense while watching these creatures,
As free as can be,
That they arrived at this coast line,
For the same reason as me.

Worry sum
Sarah Mulqueen Oct 2013
I've been watching you little lamb, so  quiet and withdrawn.
You use to have such a spring in your step.
Now where's your laughter gone?

I've been watching you little lamb, through torment and disrepair.
You use to be vibrant and colourful.
Now all I see is pain and worry  all over a troubled mind.

I cry for you little lamb, for I worry you may Wither away to nothing.
Constantly checking for approval.

My heart breaks for you little lamb, for I know you wont break free....

Withholding
Sarah Mulqueen Oct 2013
A lasso wrapped about me, and you have control of the other end.
Just let my soul be free.
Hurt me!
Make me feel ANYTHING than the pain and sadness I still possess for you.
This isn't living!
This is barely surviving!
Yet you don't even know it, the hold you still have over me.
Disregarded so you can continue living your illusion.
*Yet I still long for you, forever I'll wait for you

Wake Up!
Sarah Mulqueen Aug 2013
Blank Expressions are the new look of today,

The doing of the Elites,
Media controlling the nations,

Making their zombies.

Maybe they sleep more soundly not knowing?
And is the reason why I have so many restless nights?
Sarah Mulqueen Aug 2013
Magic exists all around us,
But so little even notice
Or bother to look for it
Angry beings,
Unable to find their own happiness.
Always looking for others to fulfill them
What a way to be
Forever dependent on others
Unable to find a purpose.
Unable to find their magic.

Unjust
Sarah Mulqueen Aug 2013
Speckled minds
Dwindling down a long winding path
Defeated or lost?

You can almost make out a harness, lock and key.

We live in a free world?
Then why are we all slaves
Fighting our way through this rat race, we call life.

Numb
Sarah Mulqueen Aug 2013
Pain stricken.
What defines the realms of pain?
If it's not physical or visible, is it really there?
Is the crippling of it just in our head or is it really that bad?
To care so much for others,
To really feel the pang in the chest as if it was happening to you first hand.
Empathy.
But when should the line be drawn?
The world needs more empathy, compassion and nurture.
But can one give to much?
Should there be a switch off point, when you say"I need to put myself first"
What if you cant find your switch and are forever giving,
Draining all you powerful energies into others,
until you don't have enough to lift yourself.
You feel the tether getting thinner but you carry on.
Is there a point when the things you value most in yourself
Just run out.
Will you be left feeling broken?
Invincible maybe?
Or just numb?

— The End —
