The Garden of Flies
written by: Maciej Pająk (Matthew)
One Day
My jolly path turned into
The gloomy dark road
Below my feet
The black rainbow covered
The sky above my dreaming head
It happened at such an unexpected moment
While I was happily dancing
In the garden filled with butterflies
Flies emerged out of the blue
The aggressive creatures
They scared the butterflies
Their rustling wings shattered
The peace of my heart
No more silence when needed
No more singing when needed
No more needs when needed
No more, no more…
I had a desire at that moment
To speak to their Lord
The Lord of The Flies
And negotiate my freedom…

Maciej Pająk (Matthew) was born in 1978 in Poland. Poet, athlete, globetrotter. A maritime navigator by education. A graduate of Maritime University. Laureate of poetry competitions. He writes in Polish and English. He made his debut in 2018 with a volume entitled "A night so blue" and then he published in 2019 a volume entitled "Blue Hourglass". His works appear in anthologies and magazines. Music has also been created for many poems. Maciej describes his remarkable observations with exceptional sensitivity, sometimes even feminine delicacy from a male point of view. This has a remarkable effect of complexity and ambiguity in how the reader might perceive his poems. Looking into the past, contemplating the future, delight, duty, pride, contemplation of beauty, falling in love. Originality - this is the basic feature of Maciej's poetry.
