Uninvited Guest (By Cat Matchuk)
There you were, frail and weak,
if I touched you, you were sure to fall apart.
I knew you were there, and I knew you were alive,
I could hear it from the beating of your heart.

Shadow
Shadow (By Cat Matchuk)
White wall, white paint,
it peels off with time.
Make a stage for the shadow puppets.
Afraid of the Dark
Afraid of the Dark (By Cat Matchuk)
Fear what you cannot see,
you never know what lurks in the dark.
Alive
Alive (By Cat Matchuk)
A heavy weight against the heart
can only slow the beating.
It does not stop, merely pulsing.
Weak, but alive.
Blame
Blame (By Cat Matchuk)
Day brought the shadows when it shone too bright,
created the darkness to dance with the light.
Blame the sun for burning,
fire on your skin,
and watch as the clouds abandon the sky.
Crumbled Dust
Crumbled Dust (By Cat Matchuk)
You see me, you see right through,
past the flesh and into the heart.
Awaking from a dream just to stumble across the broken concrete of buildings,
you wish to be dreaming again, it’s better.
Symphony
Symphony (By Cat Matchuk)
You feel like summer,
when sun would rain from symphony,
and eternity.
Cat M. Lalonde
