Calm Poems
Only These Two Know
by Callie Hayes
Tucked away in the corner,
in the slowed-down dead of night,
the lovers cuddle closer
away from any light
His arms wrapped round her waist
so steady and so slow
The embrace is filled with so much love
Love that only these two know

How Much Do You Love Me?
by Callie Hayes
How much do you love me?
My darling, my love
Cuz lately, you've been
all that I think of
How much do you love me?
All the way to the stars?
And all the way down,
to the bottom of your heart?

Feather
by Leo McManus
Feather-light and soft,
Drifting gently on the breeze,
A gift from the sky.
Graceful and serene,
Floating effortlessly down,
A symbol of peace.
A fleeting moment,
A reminder of the divine,

Just Breathe
by Brandon Gumz
Breathe in: 1, 2, 3, 4
Hold Breath: 1, 2, 3, 4
Breathe out: 1, 2, 3, 4
Hold: 1, 2, 3, 4, then repeat
It is easy to breathe, but
Is it easy to just take a breath?
Sick Morning
by Beatrice Knox
Blinds separate from each other
Light sneaks in
Touching the walls of my room
Touching my closed eyes
I open
Ruby red in my face
Brush it away to get a clear view
Of the eggshell ceiling I see everyday
I sit up
Stretch my sleeping bones

The Outcome
by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
Calm.
Grinding gently the ingredients of patience.
The somnolent waves mourn.
There are no tunnels under the seas,
But vistas cut open through
Creeping lights foreshadowed by the
Debris of epochal wrecks.
Calm.

Empty Chest
by Kailey Norris
I feel my heartbeat through an empty chest,
Calm is a state of mind.
A state of being.
Physically, calmness is the ability to block the mind,
Focus on slow breaths and smooth heartbeats.

Seabed
by Sidney Carneiro
below the billows
listen to the siren’s song
place your fears to bed
Europa
by Oliver Foreman
Upon the skies; past heaven - untold.
Beyond (of war) the planet of death.
A cosmic crystal began to mold.
Not Cyllene, Nor Titan, Europa's breath.
The surface, of the frozen, shall cool even you.
But beneath her crust roars a blazing paradise -
Fules fires within, past the cold winter hue.
Many species could rest, they're bound to melodize
Of great lives, they must live, and I'm sure they wonder too.
