“there are some poems
that we leave behind
some that leave us behind

while some just live
silently
in the heart

crumble, sometimes
dwindle
disappear
die

and are reborn
when you smile again.”
Sanober Khan, Turquoise Silence

“We thought everything would be
forgotten, but I still remember your
claws running down my back.

I wonder if you still think about us,
the way I do.

into each other in the middle
of the night, and how we ended
up creating the moon in the
confines of our beds.”

Ritu Negi
“A candle's value diminishes when it
Lit in broad daylight

A song loses its allure when it plays
Amid a cacophony of noise

A secret loses its power when it
Revealed to everyone without discretion

A rare gem loses its value when it becomes
Abundant and easily accessible

Nothing that you do is your fault or your mistake,
It’s just that you’re in the WRONG PLACE!!”
Ritu Negi, Ethereal

Ritu Negi
“Dark is mystic,
Light is absolute
Therefore their story is to be continued….”

να μας θεραπεύσουν”
Maria Tzoutzopoulou, φρέντο

Like a breath I meant to keep

Like closing my eyes mid-sentence
and forgetting the word for
stay.”

“You took the part of him
that still believed
in something more than pain—
and dressed it up in pixie dust
so you could pretend
you gave him peace.

You don't get to wrap your hunger
in fairy dust and dusk
and call it rescue.”
JL MacDougall, Venom In Velvet: A Dark Fantasy Novel-in-Verse

like broken toys
with sharp edges
and no purpose.

Now we stitch sails
from the skin of forgotten boys.
We sharpen our grief on coral reefs
and spit prayers into bottles
no one will open.”
