walking home alone

The city Lights up
haunts are glowing
central london
left of the centre
down the corridor
so close
it just makes the dark darker)
physical closeness but loneliness)
but the doors open
shows about to begin
everyone looking at me
do i belong-

and i step on, the floorboards creek

now i move in toe but it feels too slow.

Brimstone ballet.

Kid lifts his head up

To the cloud bursting with water

A beautiful release showering the dirty cement

Absolving the bloody pavement

Then he laughs, realizing

After all these years

He still can’t tell the rain

From the tears

white guilt.

"for all my ------
all my real ------
if you ain't a -----
then get the fuck out!"

fiiiine then!

an aside.

pit pat... pitter patter...

The rain always falls and it...
(rain wont fall on the                  doesn't
mountain top that's why            seem
rain never fell up                         to
but travelling the mountain        matter
is lonely as fuck.)

Number up.

No lies
create one truth
to ten dudes
a hundred ways to lose
a thousand destinations
for a million skies
a billion guys create a wall
just a trillion opportunities to stand tall
and then forever will call
to make you feel small.

number down.

a trillion laughs

after a billion pictures

a million kisses

in a thousand ways

a hundred hugs

in just ten days

one lost heart

never truly stays.

Basic

I'm a basic person
Who writes basic poetry
I buy basic food
From my local Sainsbury
Basically
There is no more to me
That what you already see:
A 20 year old boy named
Sean Mahoney.

You know it.

The sun will shine brightly

on all those who like me

but to those who don't,

I say farewell

and all you suckers

can burn in hell.

The barrier bends.

The barrier bends

for all moments of January

(the heart lends)

Before we're broken friends-

nothing's been sane since

though outs and ins

all deserve patience

carry on ignoring and

nothing will be the same since

your barrier bended

for a heartbroken prince.

Run.

Faced with the fear

but fought it back down

took his girl and he left town

before you know it

they hit the ground

with the unicorn

she's safe and sound

like the london clouds

he'll always be around.
