Sometimes I feel like writing by Junaid Ali Akbar

One Poem Only ·

2025/11/11

Sometimes I feel like writing Junaid Ali Akbar Sometimes I feel like writing...Writing words that could shake the earth, But how foolish of me to think, That ink could stop the bloodshed. Sometimes I feel like writing...When I see the corpses of children, Hanging from the rubble, Their bodies too small for the weight of this world, Crushed by the sins of those who never knew their names.Sometimes I feel like writing...When I see fathers cradling their babies' bodies, Their hands trembling as

"Dear death" by Alexis M Levine

One Poem Only ·

2025/11/08

A poem inspired by Emily Dickinson Dear death How can I stay when you, more than life, make me feel seen? They call you cruel, but I have seen the gentleness in your cruelty— the mercy in your ending, the way you unburden bones and hush the screaming thoughts no one else could hear. What if the ones who scream are not cruel, but trying to anchor me to a world they still believe can bloom? And I— have I given everything a chance? Or have I fallen so in love with the idea of not hurting

Nightmares are dreams too by Dimple Dinesh Lokhande

One Poem Only ·

2025/11/07

Nightmares are dreams too Dimple Dinesh Lokhande In the midnight sky, as breeze passes by, In our sleep, we tend to fly, To a place where dreams seem to lie. Dreams whisper on clouds in silver light, We see in shining armor a knight, Who wields his sword and provides justice to what's right. Dreams are a picture of the future, some blurred, some clear, Where hearts feel safe and fears disappear. But deep beneath those dreamy skies, Lies a darker place where nightmares reside. They steal your breath,

you wrote anyway Abhilasha Ghosh july 25th, 2025 you were told writing was a man’s terrain— ink too heavy, thought too sharp for your soft hands. so you wrote anyway. you became george eliot when mary ann wouldn’t be taken seriously. they admired your mind but never called it yours. you were the brontë sisters, signing as currer, ellis, and acton bell— three pens dipped in restraint, writing women with thunder in their hearts. you were ismat chughtai, on trial for obscenity because you dared to

Her Absence by Katrina Kaye

One Poem Only ·

2025/11/05

Her Absence Katrina Kaye I do not regret the days I spent loving you in her absence. I do not regret your tempered touches as you searched for her skin under my scales or the way your eyes reflected her sharp chin and freckled chest when they fell on my frame. I do not regret the fleeting space we created, morning gestures in the folds of sheet and flesh. Tending your wounds with tongue and time. You found solace with your elbows on my table, your dirty feet in my bed, but she was ever present upon

Naked by Danielle Martin

One Poem Only ·

2025/11/03

Naked Danielle Martin Naked in the truth that she is alone she hugs herself tightly and succeeds in creating the illusion of wellness. Damp eyes close as jaded lips conjure up wide smiles. Damn! Her mind begins to do its own thing again. Briefly, she forgets, as she floats on a magic carpet of memories, smiling, as death did not steal everything after all. Basking in apparent nothingness, she waits. No one knows her thoughts. But her silence, is better left a mystery. As she knows only too well,

"I would peel pomegranates for you—" by Hareem Ismail

One Poem Only ·

2025/11/01

I would peel pomegranates for you—Not just slice them open, but gently with my fingers stained red— I would learn its anatomy, the way they bruise and break if held too harshly, the way they hold memories in every seed.I would sit at the table, a bowl between us as I unraveled the fruit slowly— almost reverently.I’d gather the delicate pieces and offer them to you like little treasures, letting the juice spill— dark and intoxicating.And in the simple act, I’d tell you everything— talk to you about

Coffin monologue: The non-rhyming rant poem Manasvita Sukthankar I love myself,but which one?Can I love the person that most hate?Does she deserve the ache in her chest?It feels like being trapped in a coffin alive, like death is leaning by the doorframe.If so,I'd like it to carry me home,and leave me on my bedroom floor to stay.Maybe I feel safer in this coffin,No one can get to me.Maybe it's a shield that saves me, but from whom?The weight of this world?I wonder how it’s bearing the weight, It

The Spider Philippe Blenkiron "Is God a Spider?" I asked,"constantly weavingelectron threads into spiraling elemental webs?His iron will, spun with a silk of liquid steel,torn by the slightest of whims? His tenacious tapestry resewn,a glistening embroidery of frosted jewelled fibrils?""God scares me," you said,"In the corner of the room,observant, unmoving,a silent host of eyes.His uncanny mechanics,a mystery of hydraulic inkwrapped in adhesive shadow."But He's a friend," she replied"Call Him

What Are We by Laker Patience

2025/10/28

What Are We Laker Patience What are we? is there even a we, or is it possibly just a you and a me, a concoction of delusion, desire, mismatched expectations with no actual communication.What are we? what is this? Because my soul can't keep skinny dipping in the misread signals of others, it can't! My heart can't keep bungee jumping off of platforms made from shaky commitment, committing to shaky commitment, it's exhausting, it's exhausting to keep trying to cultivate seeds in farm lands offered to
