The dimmed yellowish light emitting from the old street lamp is the only thing that keeps her from running away in sight. The light gives her this warm feeling that tingles her flimsy heart, passing a little nudge of encouragement to her. It gives her a sense of hope, at least that’s the emotion she deems helpful at the moment.

“You were saying?” The guy in front of her is patiently waiting for h...

“Please,” Tao scoffed, subtly rolling his eyes. “You know she’s perfect for me.”

I raised my eyebrows, incredulous.

“Oh, is that so? I’d be thrilled for you to enlighten me _how_.” He didn’t waste a second.

“We like the same music. She knows about where I grew up. Her favourite colour is red, like mine.” I could tell that he was scrambling for words with every thought he tried to pluck from his...

I _finally _submitted my last college application for a safety college. I was so relieved I could practically feel the tension fin my body disintegrate. I plopped down onto my bed, lying on my stomach as I buried my face into a pillow.

Now that I finished this god awful process, what am I supposed to do? These college applications had been consuming my mind since the beginning of Senior year, and...

Oblivious

I hold this feeling in my hand’

I trace the edges with my fingers

Still completely unaware

Of what I bear.

I give it no thought

How could I capture such a complex feeling in the palm of my hands?

This cannot be real.

The feeling of levitation whilst also being so grounded I never want to take another step,

What is this feeling?...

Eli,

Sorry if this is messy. I haven’t written anything that’s not a checklist or a report in weeks. Or maybe it’s months. Same thing?

I just wanted to say I miss you. The kind of miss where it makes your bones hurt. You know that ache? I get it in my chest now, too. When I hear your voice in my head, I forget the dust, the noise, all of it.

I don’t want to worry you, but it’s gettin...

I watched as his face changed suddenly. That warm loving look he has always given me changed to cold indifference.

“Hey, what’s wrong?” I asked. We’ve been married for years and he’s never looked at me like this.

“I’m sorry, I’m having trouble placing you. Who exactly are you?” He asked as my brows rose in surprise.

“Very funny, we’ve been married for ten years now.” I laughed, smacking his arm...

I wore a dress of shimmering lace, irradiated in the luminous moonlight.

Its ivory beams paved our path and guided our steps, like a distant spotlight.

His hands were soft and held the warmth only those with a beating heart could bear. His touch familiar, as his arms fastened around my waist, holding me close enough to whisper tearful declarations in my ear. Unspoken vows at the mercy of stolen ti...

Could I fall in love with you tonight

Can I wash away all your tears

Please let me stay by your side

And keep you safe from fear

My lonlieness has issues

But with each other we can grow stronger

A comforting feeling of falling in love tonight

Feels just a little warmer

Falling in love ain’t easy

It’s the hardest thing to do

Being genuinely yourself

And not acting like a fool

Where's My String? - Aayisha Irrifa

Irrifa.Ink

1 min read

I believe there is a string that ties two people together

And that string can never be cut nor tied to another

But sometimes I worry that my string was forgotten

That the string was tied to me but to no one else

The string just reaches longer and farther than I can keep up with.

I reach my hands as far as my body allows yet I can never find the end

The loose string just piles behind me in a mes...

If I Could Count the way’s I Love You

Terry Salmon

3 min read

If I Could Count the way’s I Love You,

I would run out of breath and die,

For the depths of my love are boundless and true,

An ocean of devotion that stretches far beyond the sky,

Every second with you is a treasure,

A luminous pearl in the vast sea of endless devotion,

To work together to get through the storms of weather,

As we stand tall in the face of lightening and thunder whole and unbroken...
