MI AMOR MÁS NOBLE

Es difícil descifrar su mirada: fría, pero cálida a la vez. Su aspecto implicaba firmeza y coraje. Pensé que su corazón era más grande que su valentía y su personalidad. Me acerqué a él, aunque su mirada invernal me daba miedo. Pero algo en él llamó mi atención.

**Me fui acercando poco a poco, envolviendo con su voz tan dulce. Su mirada invernal me hizo volver a confiar y...

Tiger Lilly

In a world of roses be my tiger Lilly.

Be my imperfect flower with dark spots splattered across your bright petals.

Be my flower that over shines any other plant involuntarily.

Be my flower that everyone wants but no one but I has in their possessions.

Be my flower that is different from others.

Be my flower that has everyone amazed around your presence.

Be my flower that is loved by so many bu...

Roses

In a world full of roses, be a thorn

The one people are confused by. The one they scorn.

Against the grain is tough, but a better path in life

Until one day you become a rose, all thanks to your wife...

During their travels Huo Linghun and Xiao Xin happened upon wild roses. Many bushes grew together, dotted with dark pink, light pink, and white flowers.

“They’re so pretty,” Xiao Xin said, admiring the roses.

“Finish the sentence, Xiao Xin,” Huo Linghun said. “In a world full of roses, be a…”

Xiao Xin became quietly thoughtful, gently touching the roses’ soft petals. Eventually he replied, “In...

Wild One

E.G. Elmgood

She’s a wild one

In the meadow

Where the lillies grow

And the daffodils

She said, “Let’s build a cabin;

Listen to the birds sing.

We can grow a garden,

For all the little yellow bees.”

She’s a gypsy

In the mistflows

In the meadow

With the marigolds

She said, “Let’s build a cabin;

Listen to the birds sing.

We can grow a garden,

For all the little yellow bees.”

She’s a scarecrow

For the ravens

All Of Me

Danny Writes

You’re my best friend, my mind declares,

You’re my only love, my heart whispers,

You’re my best desire, my soul sings,

You’re my only need, my body cries,

My mind misses the way you stimulated it,

My heart misses the way you nurtured it,

My soul misses the way you healed it,

My body misses the way you held it,

I am sorry for my mischievous mind,

I am sorry for my hardened heart,

I am sorry for m...

Him

Nadia Jessica

In the comfort of his arms, I look up and see him. All of him. His eyes are closed, feeling the safety of our embrace. His beard hasn’t been shaved in a couple of days, just how I like it and he knows it. His cheeks are still flushed from our workout, going to the gym with him is my favourite activity. And his lips. His lips are curled up in a soft smile. His lips are full and so tender. Right now...

His eyes will be like pools of liquid

His body warm and full of life

His laugh will be alive with his soul and he’ll be

Dark and beautiful like an angel.

His tattoos will decorate his skin

And the roses he picks for me won’t have thorns

And they wont draw blood

They’ll just be the same color

And it’ll remind me of him because blood is beautiful.

And he’ll drive me home and play my favorite so...

The Burnout Scroll

Setting: A quiet September evening. The air smells like cooling pavement and unsent texts. The ingenue stands outside a familiar apartment door—not knocking, just breathing. She holds a folded card in her hand, handmade, illustrated with a comic panel of two figures: one glowing, one distracted. Inside, her truth waits.

Ingenue (softly, to the door):

I’m not here to be chosen. Not tonight.
