THE GARDEN OF HEAVEN~ BY KELSEY MCCULLOUGH
There is a garden in heaven so beautiful and bright like a choir of angels singing through the night.
The gates will open
To the sky above
Surrounded by those of the hearts that you love.
IN ALL LIFETIMES~ BY POETICIA
Petals streamed from your eyes
I collected them in my heart
Poured them onto paper
SEVEN HUNDRED AND TEN ~BY SIERRA MAZZUCCA
Seven hundred and ten days ago, but it seems like just yesterday because shock from those days grip is only now starting to let go.
I have been in slow motion since the words of your exit were sent.
Stretching through radio waves and into the earpiece of my phone, which to this day doesn’t feel like it ever came to an end. Specifically regarding that feeling and sudden realization, your lights won’t flicker again.
BAD HABITS~ BY ABHIGAIL CASOLA
I want to change
but don´t know how to start
I want to live
but have to change myself first
want to be free
but no wings are spread apart
BELOVED~ BY VANDANA MARTIN
In childhood’s glow, my sister was sweet, a pure cherub
A rose in bloom, her laughter rang, in every room, her presence sang
“YES/NO”? ~BY YAMIKANI JAMALI HASSAN
This is my letter dear beautiful
Written in red ink with precision
Scribed by my heart without salutation
For you, miss easy on the eyes
I LOVE YOU BUT ~BY ABIGAIL CASOLA
Sometimes I wish that I
could end this miserable life
just because of someone like you
I hate you but I’ll miss you
you hurt me and you feel bad
oh, oh bad I love you
but you don’t love me back.
SYNTHESIS OF SENSES ~BY MICHAEL MAUL
A splash of tonic to set the mood.
A warm bath to dull the senses.
A mere 10 minutes into my aqua therapy and it happens.
LOST DREAM ~BY SHEENA PILLAI SINGH
I lost my dream
somewhere, I thought
little did I know,
It was there, always
lying in the cold
alone and lucid..
VISIONS OF A MORNING DREAM ~BY POETICIA
Galloping a thousand heart beats
Did I catch my breadth outside the door
I closed it shut lest the beast run wild
Where in violent wait it guarded the gate
