Peter Madden Poems

I sit alone in the dark...
the clock ticking behind me upon the wall...
its sound breaking the suffocating silence only just...
like the beating of times relentless heart..
...

Fallen kingdom, fallen realm
torn apart by pointless hate,
the mad and corrupt at the helm,
morals in tatters, lying in state,
...

Tick...tock...


a sound like the endless beating of a heart
...

Child of Sunlight
daughter of the falling rain
Rainbow is born
...

I tell you i hear the screams,
echoing silently throughout my mind,
i plead for you to hear their words,
as they whisper in my ear,
...

I know that all that has gone before....
made me who i am today..
but i ask myself a simple truth...
can i change? ...
...

The devil and god went walking
one fine summers day...
a picnic they brought...
so they could stop upon their way...
...

I want to go where dragons fly,
where the unicorns run free,
to follow the griffins in the sky,
all the way down the the sea,
...

I'm surrounded by ghosts...
that no one else but i can see,
restless spirits haunting my twilight world,
the tormenting echos of my past...
...

The pain i feel from my wounds hurts not,
when compared to the pain in my soul...
To be cast from my father, my creator, my reason to be...
To be cast down amoungst the savages who doubt his very existance..
...
