Poison Pen

(Free Deeks)

A number of years ago I lived in a flat that was owned by a professional woman who lived in the room above. Throughout the night, I would hear the banging of typewriter keys reverberating through the ceiling above. It transpired that she was writing poison pen letters and sending them to the relatives and friends of people she knew. I moved away from the area, but I often wonder what became of her.

Hump back hunched over Remington-Rand She punches the keys with long suppressed hate A ragged haired dog adding scent to the crime Slept to the beat while she drummed up those lines Flights of fantasy, diaphanous truth Left an atmosphere that deepened the gloom The stories composed with a long held psychosis She mailed the vile libel without chocolates or roses Signed with no name and a poison pen, poison pen Signed with no name and a poison pen Her victims were stupid, they need education These words were to help so she shared them around She imagined the pain and from that she got pleasure A flood of emotion she would enjoy at her leisure Live by the sword, die by the sword he said So she re wrote the end and it justified the means The ending was more than her world could afford As she found that the pen is mightier than the sword Signed with no name and a poison pen, poison pen Signed with no name and a poison pen Signed with no name and a poison pen, poison pen Signed with no name and a poison pen

One Million Smiles

By Free Deeks

This is an indulgent, enjoyment of falling in love. The rush and the excitement, the abandonment and the lack of fear at doing something stupid. When you’re in love, there’s a smile that you can’t scrub off.

Not Rock ‘n’ Roll

By Free Deeks

Lamenting a loss of a rebellious attitude among some people involved in Rock ‘n’ Roll, I wrote this as an observation and a hope that some would step up to the plate and challenge us. Reggae and grime are doing their bit, pull up your soap box and say something.

Crowd

By Clairine T.

A relationship between two people with vastly different personalities and perspectives doesn't always work out well. When people are too different, there could never be a middle ground, and a huge rift is created that could not be crossed by themselves or anyone else for that matter. You could say that that kind of relationship is toxic, impossible to fix, that they should go their separate ways before things get worse between them. But when those two people are each other's closest companion, the fear of having no one else by their side often overrides how huge that rift is. Nothing could come out of it, but they only have each other. Though they aren't close and don't understand one another like how friends, or family, should, they are still marginally better than strangers, and sometimes that alone is enough to make them stay in that permanent stalemate.
