Ex Poems
Close.
by Daniel Shapovalov
Finding your hair between my pillows..
Man this shits everywhere.
Reminiscing 'bout the days where we just laid and stared
at the sunrise (your first time), Our last time- yea I kept it true.
But one mans truth is another women's lie
cause the way I remember it, I was left alone to cry.
"Shy and introverted", walking around in her Harley Quin outfit.
I was your Joker then, should've realized we were just a joke then.

Songs For My Dark Mother: Translations from Shakta Poetry 2011
1.
Repose faith in Kali, why so anxious?
The delusive night being over, the dawn blooms.
The sun rises to dispel pall of darkness,
regards to Lord Shiva

I Must Heal
by Leigh Yah
It all makes sense now
Those nights I deprived myself from sleep
Those days I wondered where and how
And those moments I combat with anxiety.
I lost count of the times I endured infidelity
But that isn't the only case I had to deal with
My vision was clear but I feel like I'm blinded
Too bad, ignoring all the clues became a habit.

Life's a game.
by Daniel Shapovalov
Things get better
but does life ever?
Does that mean I'll stop?
Never.
Girls be coming from every block- pleasure.
Looking back on my past I spent with her - Lesser.
"Sir, do you ever think about being greater?"
"Only when I think about her, sure."
Memories have been made-

Musing 5
by Shuvo Chakraborty
Affirm better alive or not
Ere douse the candle fire
Or shot the knife to tender cake.
Bring out the soul invisible
And focus mediating light upon,
To check and confirm the candle inborn
Is lighted whether with celestial fire
Or languishes in ignorance mire,
Retire then for learning and ignite the genuine fire
And back to the world living for birthday prayers.

"And Sometimes..."
by Nad Sof
Today, I braced myself to get through,
Waiting for two new cats to soothe—
Two lives to fill the empty space,
And calm the ache I can't erase.
As melodies played soft and clear,
I scrolled through my phone, drawing near.
In a glance, the world flew fast,
Like wind that blows and cannot last.

Shade Of Thee.
by Nad Sof
I will not grant that I yet remember thy scent,
Nor that thy smile once was bright as day.
I will not grant that I recall our first embrace,
The first kiss, the first confession.
I mind it all, but to speak it, I refuse.
Many have said:
"Thou dost seek in each new man the shade of him,"
And though it be true,

Urge
by Nad Sof
I strive with all myn might to still the call,
For love that once was deep, now turned to thrall.
I gave thee all, yet thou didst trample me,
And scorned mine heart, with no pity to see.
I fight to hold my wrath from thee,
That thou might feel the weight o' mine agony.
I turn mine eyes from likenesses we made,
For they bring naught but sorrow, pale and fade.

Bittersweet Fairytale
by Nad SZA
What an unfortunate fate;
We are almost perfect.
Our kiss was perfect,
Our plans match and align.
We already could envision
The beautiful future we could have together.
Working together, starting a family,
Having a life we've both dreamed of.
You're all I've been looking for,

Her
by Tom F
Her
Her in the waiting room that stands out for all the wrong reasons, but don’t worry she’s too tall to be. Her on the train with the big blue eyes that don’t sparkle like.
Her in the bar wearing the same perfume as. Her in a photo with a big colourful scarf that I know ’d love.
Her over there with the blonde hair that makes me double take just to make sure it’s not. Her at the concert dancing and singing like there’s no orrow. Her exploring and taking pictures just like used to do. Her in the cafe booking her next adventure away which is something she loves more than anything, just like.
My life revolves around her, cant you see? Everything.
I hate that I notice her all the time.
She will always be her, but never be, you.
