I know hunger, I know the gnaw that grows, From the stomach, To every tip of every bone, Until it floods the body with need. The only thing to kill it is greed. I know thirst, I know the dryness that grows, From the mouth, To every tip of every bone, Until it fills theContinue reading “Eat, Drink, Love”

Are you sitting in your chair, Talking to someone, Who may not be there, Your life laid bare, For all to see? Are you on Facebook? Are you up into the small hours, On your laptops, Or your desktop towers, Foregoing showers, For micro-meals? Are you on Skype? Are you chasing bonus games, Timing yourContinue reading “Online/Offline”

Pour these tears, The rain of rage, Pour them on the page. Cry these words, The tirade of hurt, Cry them into dirt. Living with an ache, An emptiness, A void. Food won’t fill it, Alcohol would spill it. Nothing left to make, Everything’s devoid. No strength to will it, May as well kill it.Continue reading “These Words Are Tears”

Riding the choppy air, High above the clouds. Encased in thin steel, Perpetuating doubts. The sky is like a bumpy road, Fissures made of air. Flying over obstacles, Potholes that are not there. A pilots’ nervy skill, Who helms this sightless bird. Who calms us via intercom, With his buzzing, static word. And then airContinue reading “FR2432”

Perched atop a rocky crop, A blurred survey reveals Nothing but smoke and ash. The blaze and blare of guns has ceased, The limp dead fight no more, And the land is awash, With wasted but noble lives, Seen through these victorious eyes. All around this battleground, A muted echo screams All is silent, saveContinue reading “A Fallen Son”

I’m swimming, like the stars that are shining in your eyes. One arm and then the next, Kicking weakly, Toward your shifting shore, Where there will be safe haven. I’m drowning, like the flints that are glinting in your eyes. At times blue and then black, Ticking bleakly, Toward the end of your day, WhereContinue reading “The Depths Of You”

I’m dancing, Alone in the dark, My arms around a ghost, In silence, To music,  Only I can hear. You’re gone, But you’re still with me. © M.H.

I sleep. I just close my eyes, And it’s another world, Another life. Where I made you stay, Made no mistakes, And broke no promises. I dream. I just go with it, To the perfect world, The perfect life. Where I smile every day, My heart never breaks, And I kept my promises. I wake.Continue reading “Promises”

I know how you sound, When you’re with him, Indulging in your sin. You purr sweetly in the back of your treacherous throat. I’ve heard you, As I paced the stairs outside his room, While you’re inside, Spreading your favours wide. I know how you look, When you think of him, Partaking of his whim.Continue reading “With Him”

I am de-tuned, Immune, I have a muse called disillusion. I’m icy cold, I unfold, And I always give in to confusion. I write to cry, This is why, It’s an unexplained impulsion. I will not mend, Instead, I bend, Am a paragraph of compulsion. I am tunelsss. I am dischord. Nothing has an order.Continue reading “Tuneless”
