Lemonade

Lucy Clayton

1 min read

When life gives you lemons make lemonade they say.

But what if the lemons are rotten or not ripe enough.

What if the only juice you can squeeze from them stings the tastebuds sharper than the excepted sour tang.


What if when life gives you lemons you choose to throw them away.Like when life gives you people you push them away, instead of developing the friendship that could have been.

What if yo...

Carnage

Lucy Clayton

1 min read

Carnage.


Crimson seeping out of wide open orfices,splattered on the treacherous battlefield.


I call out command stacked on command,fuelling the rage firing the attack. Limp bodies piled on limp bodies, unconscious thoughts drowned in the sweet relief of death.


They have the advantage, they know their land like the back of their hand and they have studied our outdated tactics. They train day af...

My Cats

Lucy Clayton

1 min read

Ginger locks draped over his forehead,clouding his vision.

He sits drenched in teenage angst,staring into the souls of all passer-bys,just waiting for what he calls the only thing that shows we care about him: food.


He is the epitomisation of moody and anxiety ridden.

He flinches at the sight of strangers, but on very rare occasions we experience his love and affection, and he falls asleep where...

Punishable Laughter

Lucy Clayton

1 min read

In a town where laughter is punishable by death,

people have resorted to the absence of human interaction, the abolishment of media and many have gone as far as to take a vow of silence, afraid of their own humour.


Hundreds attempted to take on the sociopathic approach, because a smile is a gateway to a chuckle, which opens up perfectly for a giggle, and before you can stop yourself, you are in p...

Beneath The Willow

Lucy Clayton

1 min read

Beneath the willow you will find,

Strands of magic of every kind.

Snapped wands of phoenix hair,

Souls intertwined with branches and laid bare.


Beneath the willow you will find,

The wise creature cursed to be blind,

The luminous insects crawl around,

The magic tunes varied with sound.


Beneath the willow you will find,

Shadows created from the sun that shined,

Blooming plants laced around the e...

Reflection

Lucy Clayton

1 min read

I never noticed the way his eyes lacked a reflection.


His monotonal voice echoing through our quaint,tidy home, reminded me of a voice I used to hear, in the corner of rooms which were blanketed in darkness, and inbetween skeletal branches strangling their leaves.


He always felt comfort in his own company, disgusted by my love, but I assumed he would grow out of it, needing me and begging for ...

Inevitable

Lucy Clayton

1 min read

Enthusiastic giggles welcoming a new opportunity,

Smiles plastered as symbols of our unity,

Luminous expressions floating around the unfamiliar room,

Beginning a new chapter with a powerful boom.


Exploding atmosphere,

reverberating from person to person,

Blanketing the previously exposed fear,

A new and improved version.


The illumination of joy,

A secret ploy,

To hide the truth,

That demolishe...

Reconstruction

Lucy Clayton

1 min read

I always waited for you, entwined my life with yours.

When you fell apart,I plastered the pieces in place, restoring the beautiful image I always admired.


My life surrounded yours, it wasn’t much of a life,

It was a tribute to you, adjusted for your pleasure,

Malleable thoughts, bent into the shape of your beliefs.


You left me in my own despair, yet my forgivable nature, dismissed the inbalanc...

Sunflower

Lucy Clayton

1 min read

In a world full of roses be a sunflower,

Reaching and striving to tower,

Achieving the impossible with their unwavering strength,

Accomplishing their goals,

Extending their length.


In Roses,

People find the everlasting beauty of love,

Passion plucked from petals

Popular and elegant,

Learnt never to settle.


But sunflowers are reinforced in their security,

A dependable stem,

They are known for...

Light Is Light

Lucy Clayton

1 min read

Beaming down through the slight slit in my window,

Like a spotlight creating focus for the perfect show.

The way it dances on my face,

Encroaching at a tantalising pace.


The light is sharp,

but it doesn't intend to harm,

It cuts through the silence

When I wish for peace it is my good luck charm


The moonshine illuminates the stories of the night,

Lighting the way and creating the ability of sig...
