Sailing to My Grandfather
by Michael R. Burch
for George Edwin Hurt Sr.
This distance between us
—this vast sea
of remembrance—
is no hindrance,
no enemy.

The Olive Theory
by Kate Coleman
I heard about this theory;
that in the perfect couple,
One will like olives, and the other will not.
One will always eat for the other.
I think that's why we never worked,
You proudly shouted your love for the salted fruit,
While I, meekly, passed mine to you.
You convinced that only you could possibly like them.
And I, well. I simply did not.
It wasn't until the end, the end of us;

Zest
by Falling Awake
The boredom of the mundane
evaporated as you rose,
and ascended into my center.
Now boundless and bursting,
I find myself vibrant–
raging alive,
blazing aglow,
from the zest you cast upon me.

The beaten heart
by Raven Quigley
My heart is black and blue
And I am not interested in you
Though considering
I maybe blue
I can be such a fool
For that can you win me for you?
Or will you play with me too?
ଟିପ୍ପଣୀ
by Bharati Nayak
ମୋର ତ ଏଇ ଭାତ ହାଣ୍ଡିର ସଂସାର
ତେଲ ଚିକିଟା କଳାଧୂଆଁ
ଭୀମ ବାର, ସରଫ, ସାବୁନ, ଝାଡୁପୋଛା
ସକାଳ ଟିଫିନ ଠାରୁ ରାତି ରୋଷେଇ
ସବୁ ସଜାଡି ରଖିବାର ଭାର
ପିଲାଙ୍କ ଜୋତାପଲିସ ଆଉ ସ୍କୁଲଡ୍ରେସ ଇସ୍ତ୍ରୀ କରା,
ଦିଅଁପୂଜା, ଅତିଥିଚର୍ଚ୍ଚା
ଫୋନକଲ ଆଟେଣ୍ଡ
ପେପରଵାଲା ର ବିଲ ପେମେଣ୍ଟ
ପାଣିବିଲ, ବିଜୁଳି -ବିଲ ଦାଖଲ

Bittersweet Fairytale
by Nad SZA
What an unfortunate fate;
We are almost perfect.
Our kiss was perfect,
Our plans match and align.
We already could envision
The beautiful future we could have together.
Working together, starting a family,
Having a life we've both dreamed of.
You're all I've been looking for,

The sight of you
by Tania Marques
The sound of a peal of thunder.
The pounding train tracks feeling of the ground.
Euphoria taking over me.
Just like a soulful moment at sea.
All the disturbances in me are soon fallen,

Forbidden Romance
by Nad SZA
In the silence of my own mind, I carry a burden
A struggle and pain that no one else can see
No friends, no family, no one to confide in
About the heartbreak that tore me apart inside
My first love, a forbidden romance
A story that many would judge and decry
But if you walked in my shoes just for a moment
You would see why I was willing to lie
