Ex Poems
I Must Heal
by Leigh Yah
It all makes sense now
Those nights I deprived myself from sleep
Those days I wondered where and how
And those moments I combat with anxiety.
I lost count of the times I endured infidelity
But that isn't the only case I had to deal with
My vision was clear but I feel like I'm blinded
Too bad, ignoring all the clues became a habit.

I laughed at myself for knowing it was over but not saying anything just so you can reach that conclusion yourself so that you can break up with me just for the sake of sparing your pride. I laughed that at the moment i felt betrayed by the person closest to me and i still picked you over myself. I laughed at the frailness of a love that was forged by the fire of adversity when it faced the coldness of fear. Maybe i’m not in love with you but i sure as hell love you.

Repose faith in Kali, why so anxious?
The delusive night being over, the dawn blooms.

Whisping Flame
by Jonathan Martin
The fire is lit it shall stay:
Arriving now peace is clear.
It seems as though we will never turn grey,
Complacent we grow longing for frontier.
The winds have answered and over the mountain range
A storm appears longing for change.
But now in the storm our fire suffers,
We take place in different shelters.
It seems inevitable but also impossible.
No one ever seems responsible,

Now we're Ghost
by Lily Isong
Now we're ghost
We lived
We loved
We hurt, we got hurt
We fell into the deep red sea
We struggled to survive it
The current and chemistry was stronger than our mortal bodies.
We died
