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!

See Me

By Elijah

These “emotions” that carry me. It’s from these that you see me. Let not what you see, be all I can be. I’m so much more, this isn’t all.
