How Clear She Shines by Emily Brontë

One Poem Only ·

2025/11/29

How Clear She Shines Emily Brontë How clear she shines! How quietlyI lie beneath her guardian light;While heaven and earth are whispering me,"To morrow, wake, but dream to-night."Yes, Fancy, come, my Fairy love!These throbbing temples softly kiss;And bend my lonely couch above,And bring me rest, and bring me bliss.The world is going; dark world, adieu!Grim world, conceal thee till the day;The heart thou canst not all subdueMust still resist, if thou delay!Thy love I will not, will not share;Thy

Winter nights, burning cinder.Sierra sylvie As I lie here with eyes that , Glint while the cinder burns each memory softly. As I lie here withthose eyes that , Soar across every memory longing to be embraced.As I lie here with a body , Longing to be worshippedAs I lie here with the body ,Of rusted skin from the torrent of tears .As I lie here with a soul , Suffering from the resentment of an eclipse As I lie here with a soul , striving to cherish the thistle garden of heart.As I lie here with an

Moonborn Aura Guerra-Artola I am the Moon’s daughter. Forever shifting roomswithin the skin I call home.My light has crossed the tides, so have my shadows.

Loneliness is a strange dopamine by Dipanwita Dey

One Poem Only ·

2025/11/20

Loneliness is a strange dopamine Dipanwita Dey Loneliness is a strange dopamine.Slowly, steadily, it consumes existence.Under its spell, it traps, strangulates,murders, and extinguishes.The desperate try to defeat it,unleashing the invisible chainaround the collarbones.Feels like a gravitational force,pushing into the darkness of the unseen.Solitude devours the ultimateversion of yourself—the despondency of never being discovered,never being heard,never feeling the warmth of a beloved's

Raindrops Kunjal Saraswat Raindrops shine under warm lights.I notice it for the first timeAs I sit here—Two hours deepInto this nightWith the rain.Well, not just the rain.It brings its companions:Thunder,Lightning,Showers,And storms.Tonight, it’s a stormy rain.The wind is wild,And the glass of my balcony shuttersShudders under its weight.I sip my coffeeAnd keep penning my poetry—This one is about sorrow,About giving up,About the reality of life:Death.Behind me, the music swells.The rain’s pattering

The Anatomy of a Queer Body by Gokul Prabhu

One Poem Only ·

2025/11/17

The Anatomy of a Queer Body Gokul Prabhu This poem first appeared In Plainspeak.Please tread gently. This poem has potentially disturbing content.I see death, perched at my window.Sometimes, they even sit on the edge of the bed.Death is my friend now!I am often tempted to draw them into a kiss.They no longer hold a scythe,and are no longer dressed in a cape.They dress like my ex: shabby t-shirt, greying jeans, and sneakers,or whatever those shoes are called in their world.We have a conversation

One Poem Only ·

2025/11/15

"A lousy sunday afternoon when" Aliya Narghese A lousy sunday afternoon whenThe world had gone, for a momentary slumber Her world fell forever quiet beneath the burning timberAn unwelcome call, a cacophony of cries Looks of pity, soulless sympathyLife that was laid gently into her hands Now a burden far heavy to carry They called her brave, called her strong But she knew they were wrong Met with an incident so vivid Her mind always so lividShe was only a child, Left to pick up the shattered pieces

The Altar I Didn’t Know I was Building by Elle Zaspel

One Poem Only ·

2025/11/14

The Altar I Didn’t Know I was Building Elle Zaspel There’s a small bowl on the bookshelf,not meant for anything in particular.But in it: a cicada shell, a rock from a Hamptons beach,a blurry photo propped up beside them.Things I kept without knowing why.Things I wasn’t ready to throw away.Cicadas remind me of him—loud among friends, a little bit silly,as if joy itself made them tremble.They seem forgetful,unsure of when to rise from the earth,but their confusion is only appearance.They know exactly

In Another Lifetime Edyth Grace To an old friend, wherever you are.......In another lifetime,Where the skies are plastered With soft pinks and bluesand golden huesAnd the grass, softer than your skin I once caressed.In another lifetime,where the air hums the lyricsof the song, we would've rememberedAnd your fingers would've fit minelike the stars aligningin some perfect, forgotten sky.In another lifetime,the clocks would slow their hands,giving us endless moments—no rush, no regret,just the gentle

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,

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
