After The Retreat

by May Sinclair

IF I could only see again
The house we passed on the long Flemish road
That day
When the Army went from Antwerp, through Bruges, to the sea;
The house with the slender door,
And the one thin row of shutters, grey as dust on the white wall.
It stood low and alone in the flat Flemish land,
And behind it the high slender trees were small under the sky.

It looked

If only I had known

by Raina Hutchins

If only I had known I’d never hear your voice again
Or hear you whisper sweetly in my ear
I’d memorise each word of love you ever said to me
So when I'm all alone, your voice I’ll hear

If only I had known it was the last time I would see
The man I love with all my heart and soul
I would have held on tighter and kept you close to me
And never would have ever let you go

Memories of a While Back

by Mai ✿

O memories of long ago
I never thought I'd miss you
I still remember those times
Never thought they'd be the best of times
Oh, how I long for those days
Hard as they were, painful even
They are the loveliest, nonetheless
Younger me would've been perplexed
If she knew I want those days back!
But perhaps that's how life is

Vintage Blues

by Evelyn Judy Buehler

indigo evening
the lapis lazuli sea
lovely blue roses

sunshine bluebonnets
teal skies of happier days
megastar asters

ribbiting frogs, pond
nights on the town midnight blue

21-12-24

by Rikske Kessner

internal countdown begins
like ants to freshly landed
sugar crystal
like sunflower to rising sun
peeping from cover
like expectant pyjama'd tyke
on Christmas morn
a feeling, full grown or so,
but couldn't quite shake

Memories of a While Back

"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.

The sky

by Gideon Okari

Sometimes the sky remains without stars
Not that they ain’t any
But some have just dimmed
Some lost within the darkness
And some just gone
But now one star is added to sky
I hope it never dimms
Or ever gets lost
When I look at sky
I wish it shines brighter

DTKW

by Nad Sof

You once told me you could envision a future with me,
just from a photograph.
And though it came later for me,
I won’t lie—I too imagined it.
But I know I fell for you more deeply,
more fervently,
than you ever could for me.

The moments we shared blur now,
but I recall how you threw around the word "love"
