Michael Malone Poem
With the dawn of each new day
I realize this more and more
There is something I need to say
That I never really could before
Not because I didn't want too
Just chose to keep it inside
So now I confess to you
For with you I now confide
I count each second precious
As if it were my very last
Just to be in your beautiful presence
Even though the time goes very fast
I could go on about your smile
But there is more to you I know
There's also beauty in your eyes
You make the world around you glow
Even on the darkest day
When storms are at their worst
Just the very sight of you-drives the storm clouds away
So, with my sadness completely reversed
There's calmness in your voice
That puts my soul at rest
With your laughter bringing me joy
And your happiness leaving me refreshed
So, there is no other way to say
With all my heart I have to confess
This message I'm going to convey
Everything about you I seem to obsess

Michael Malone Poem
Diving in seeking for solace
And a peaceful release of thoughts
Inner quiet in a place of promise
Creates a rhythmic song and a waltz
Initial cold shocks the senses
And a realization there is no breath
Memories hurt. Up with defenses
Fearing now for a sudden death
Completely surreal. Just surrender
Drowning now. Is there no escape?
Flooded with tears without an offender
The mental screams begin to take shape
Plunging deeper, streamline surreal
Kicking hard and longing for survival
In poetic movement. A chance to heal
Surfacing again. A hope for revival
An arm points forward to show the way
The other motions back to where it's been
A labored dance to motion the cares away
In rhythm to propel, flip, and spin again
Distance covered in a pool of tears
Aqua blue represents the entire mood
Troubled thoughts washed in prayers
Stroke to stroke to become subdued
Streamline to memories once again
Kick to the surface to catch a breath
Distance covered to numb the pain
In a pool of tears to a mental death

Michael Malone Poem
There have been moments just to sit quietly
In places of uncertainty and of the unknown
Furthest away from all which represents society
Surrounded by nothing and completely alone
Alone to my thoughts thinking in sincerity
What happened to bring me to this place
A place of reflection in complete solidarity
Severity of anxiety is very difficult to face
Some say you should just let it go and relax
Why do you dwell on things you cannot control
The dark side says just mind your own beeswax
With words readers probably wouldn't condone
It's difficult to explain the cause behind the pain
Or why the attacks have a tendency to occur
I definitely don't like what it does to my brain
Causing all my thoughts to be a sudden blur
Crippling it becomes causing the need for sleep
Break this horrible spell and bring this day to an end
So that for another day my wits I may truly keep
And those I hurt by my sins completely amend

Michael Malone Poem
As the stars overtake the night sky
I drift off to a dreamlike slumber
Awakened not understanding why
Why my heart is beating in wonder
My eyes span the room, listening
Hearing nothing, I look for the cause
Looking dazed and not understanding
The truth is this defies natural laws
For what could posses my inner being
To the point now without any return
Is it an angel’s face I'm now seeing
Audible voice so sweetly to discern
The vision intense so indescribable
Circles around capturing my thoughts
It's beautiful and completely undeniable
And no this is not just afterthoughts
Slipping back now to dreamlike slumber
And regretting not sleeps interruption
I'm grateful you've captured my number
Visions of you, I welcome this disruption

Michael Malone Poem
Looking at the clouds in the sky above
I have often pondered and wondered why
Why love is like a raindrop in ways there of
Meant to stay then be released after a while
The symbolism reflected in that raindrop
Like the circumference of a tear and a sigh
It will fall from the sky and won't stop
You may even see it as it passes you by
What words would it have me to say?
What words would it have me compile?
There is nothing left I can do but pray
Pray that I can make you smile for a while
Because that raindrop still passes us by
With many tears shed and a broken heart
As it leaves and drops from the cloudy sky
Hoping happy memories will never depart
Crushing as a raindrop crashes to the ground
The puddle remains showing what is reflected
Broken hearts in pools of water now drowned
The cycle of love has now been perfected
Perfect we loved without any remorse
Feeling the pain and this sorrowful heart
For in that pain true love was endorsed
Seared into my heart even for my small part
My part I played perfectly with no regrets
But the sorrow will remain likes clouds above
Memories with each raindrop I'll never forget
It was true and you will forever be my love

Michael Malone Poem
Ode to thee horrible treadmill
As you call to me to start the day
Have thee no mercy treadmill
Thou instrument of torture today
As I climb onto your dark track
Quick start before resistance wins
Thou spinning tracks now attack
It's time to pay for my eating sins
Oh wow now the speed begins
Too much too much I cry at last
Hear the playing of the violins
Labored voice where AED I asked
Slow down unforgiving treadmill
I despise to be treated this way
Heart rate screams on this hill
The nausea refuses to go away
Resistance is futile in the last
Mile after mile on dark track
I'm having such a sarcastic blast
The mental sanity now cracks
Oh treadmill a tenth left on thee
Each second seems an eternity
Yes! I have reached the end hehe
I now rush to vomit with urgency

Michael Malone Poem
I hate all things smiley and happy
Won't win you any fame
Stop-it's only trippy
And it comes across as lame
Don't come to me with your joy
It only peeks my suspicion
And it's starting to annoy
Completely, by admission
Soon you will see it my way
Happiness is making me sick
And it's completely ruining my day
I won't fall for your poison trick
I'm not having it today
I hate all things smiley and happy
Make your gleefulness go away
Because it's driving me crazy
Just let me be, be gone cheery face
Completely irritating is your cheer
Why are your smiling in the first place?
Take that happiness away from here

Michael Malone Poem
This realization came to me
After dawn, as I sleep
Sneaky, and my eyes do seek
What is there? No reply or peep
Something is here in my room.
It's definitely a monster, I assume
But this story I must resume
Though it's me, it may consume
A creaky noise in the corner; there
And a shadow making me aware
That I'm not alone; I must prepare
The worst I fear too much to bear
I close my eyes, draw my blanky near
Waiting for the monster to appear
Now, I am overwhelmed with fear
I will be devoured; this is very clear
Is that a growl I hear? Oh the dread
The dripping of drool, oh, I'm dead
Oh yikes! It's now under my bed
Trembling, what is there? Fearfully said
I gather enough courage to take a peek
Not knowing what horrors I truly seek
My knees began to shake, I am so weak
Oh! Just shadow my dog so go back to sleep!

Michael Malone Poem
This Birthday wish goes to you
And a very happy one, too
On this day oh so special
To you who forever is beautiful
Unchanging from day to day
Just seeing you takes my breath away
You may think, “I’m just another day older.”
But really, you’re more like a flower.
Blossoming each day with beauty anew
As one making her first debut
Petals opening to embrace the sun
With graceful majesty second to none
A bright red flower in a field of white
As unique as the first flames spark ignite
Fiery passion from all that you do
Happy Birthday Beautiful I truly love you

Michael Malone Poem
It's evening now the sun is down
And it's time for the hunt to begin
Out of my cave off I go with a grisly frown
To take my place as creatures of night, yet once again
Remorseful? No, the prey is near, and I sense its fear
Gruesome death there will be no escape, no-not this time
My claws are sharp my feet are swift, and I have a keen ear
Steady my pace through the trees knowing soon it will be mine
Faster I go through the night because the night is me
Making no sound anticipating its' death with that ending scream
But stopping yet to question why what did I just see?
What was that through the trees?
Something dark-something there-something waits for me
Is it something-why is this something that was unseen?
I feel my heart out loud sinking-this is something new
But why too dark for the dark to see?
Chasing again I slowly adjust moving with anticipation now
I see my prey to kill is just cover your eyes not to see
It's nothing learned it's the only way I know how
To hear its heart...to move slowly now...what does this mean
Somethings wrong-something is new-somethings not explained
In the silence....in the night....through the gentle stream
Its message of understanding with starlight whispered
Leaving me with reflections-somethings changed it seems
Because of the previous reflecting, something is now watching me
Quiet so sweet the calm not sought for the end I didn't see
I am the hunter....but something terrible just happened to me
