When I Can’t See The Sun

by Nathaniel Phillips

Find my fight with my voice
Abducted mind, do I have a choice

Breathing in with scabs on my lungs
Irritated heart, sweet tooth rot, everything’s stung

Like blood stain track marks of crimson residue
Killing myself in the silent echo of the ways I hurt you

Lost in broken reflections when pain is my default setting

the loser

by Mackenzie Bilz

My eyes whirl as I try to wrap my head around it
My brains scramble as they attempt to understand it
Nothing makes sense anymore, it’s no use to try
All I can do now is stand here and cry

Everyone’s left me and left no reason why
Confusion envelops me as the end runs nigh
I’m left here in sorrow, in isolation so cold
Apology does nothing, so it is here I fold.

Emotional Parasites

by Bhaskaranand Jha Bhaskar

Where fair feelings are not free
You feel caged,
Emotions keep swirling on, around
With pressure of stresses
That invade you
Inside
Day by day;
Berserk like a drunken stallion
Passion on the other side
Goes astray

Shreds of Innocence

by Daniel Nyamai

Written by Lynn Kebrown, posted under her request. (Fiction)

Lynn narrates ...

I could have never imagine he would do that to me. I was in my room dressing up just after showering. Lemmie take you back a bit,earlier that day I was at the farm on a supervisory duty where I ended up joining the casuals. So basically, I was really tired not to mention hungry and only a cold shower and a good meal could save me. I knew Tec wasn't at home since he had earlier mentioned that he was going to see his girlfriend so,definitely there was no food at home. Down the market I dragged myself and got a basket full of fruits and vegetables and headed home. It was dark, really dark.

I live in this mtaa where everybody knows everyone hence darkness gave me no chills,safety is guaranteed. I dropped the basket on the kitchen floor and hungrily grabbed a toast left on the plate over breakfast, that was good enough to get me showering. Past the corridors to the bathroom I went and took a quick one.

The front door opened and since only me and my brother Tec had the keys to the apartment, I did squeak so I continued dressing. With a loud bang, it was closed shortly. I have known Tec to be that guy who if he gets angry, everything and everyone around him will feel his wrath and anger. He is that one hot tempered dude who can do mass destruction within a minute so whenever he gets angry, distancing myself from him is what I know best. I didn't bother though, it was probably one of those days.

An angel in disguise

by Reem Khalaf

She took my hands I was 9
Giving me her other bud
And telling me just listen and enjoy the ride
Close your eyes and let me take you to the moon
She a woman of her words
Putting my feet above the clouds
And pushing me from the moon
Back to earth on my hands and knees
Waving and smiling from the moon back at me
looking up at her with my split temple

Release Me

by Lee-Ann Azzopardi

Don't let me suffer like this
And let the tears break out
For they tighten yr grip
Release me from it
For you aren't worthy of love
Don't kiss my lips
It's a trap; hooking me onto you
Forever
I want to be free
But you keep holding on

Tasso's tiny needles

by Dimitris Boskainos

They say the waves at the shore, where foam meets the sand,
That once upon a time, no foam there did stand.
Until an old blind woman, knitting night and day,
Her sorrows and her joys of life in thread would lay,
Showed them to the sea, and the sea, in envy’s gleam,
Took up those crafts and donned them as foam’s white seam.

Upon the wet sand lay a ragged patchwork old,
Just enough for Tasso’s to sit, cross-legged and bold,
Knitting with her needles, tirelessly she toiled,
