Poetry

Heaven From Above

By

Malsnight

Malsnight writes from Junee Correctional Centre in New South Wales.

Rodion Kutsaiev

A wee bit of heaven

Drifted down from above,

A handful of happiness

A heart full of love.

The mystery of life

So sacred and sweet,

The giver of joy

So deep and complete.

Priceless and precious

So loveable, too —

The world’s sweetest miracle,

Baby doll, is you!

A wee bit of heaven

Drifted down from above,

A handful of happiness

A heart full of love.

The mystery of life

So sacred and sweet,

The giver of joy

So deep and complete.

Priceless and precious

So loveable, too —

The world’s sweetest miracle,

Baby doll, is you!

‘Love is Rebuilding My Life’

By Phillip

There’s irony, hypocrisy, fallacy, a vast ocean of distance to cross. The “saint”, the “sinner”, it’s lunacy, that the ignorant could save the lost.

Methfairytale

By Karie

I’m not belle of the ball, not the very least, but we have something in common, I’m in love with a beast. But the beast is not a person but a drug that I call meth, I’ve been talking to myself for hours, I’m running out of breath.

Nostalgia

By Dennis

Nostalgia is a gentle haze, a soft and fading, golden maze, where time itself begins to blur, and memory’s touch is sweet and pure.
